^^#4/.'J, vj-- .:""?":" /wwr^^A^Jr^^^Jws: SAN PEANCISCO. SATURDAY, AUG. 31, 1889. SANTA ROSA. By Oar Special Commissioner. Friday, the fourth day of the meeting, found the same small attendance which characterized the week, and though the entries were good, the interest taken by the meagre as- semblage was small. The day was begun with a mile dash, Bruce OoekriH's b m Daisy D.( ridden by Narvice at 115 pounds, and W. L. Appleby's b c Wild Oats, ridden by Hitchcock at 107 pounds, being the starters. In the over- night betting Wild Oats was the favorite, bat at the track be- fore the race the tip went aroand that the mare was "out for the stuff," and after that sbe sold at about even money with the horse. The colt was not in it. The mare got the best of tbe send off, and went around the tarn and into the backstretch with the colt at her flank At the half she was half a length to the good. At the lower tarn Hitchcock called on the colt, bat he could not respond, and though be got the whip and steel there was no ran in him, and the mare came on and won as she pleased in 1:43. summary.

Starr's br m Flora Belle and A. C. Dietz' b.h Ringwood came oat in the 2:50 class. The talent went their fall length on Hazel Wilkes, putting her favorite at $30, Flora Belle having very good backing at $11, Ringwood having some backers at $6, and the tield of Wanda and Allarita selling steadily at So and $6. In the first h6at they ware strung out aroand the turn in oae, two, three order, Flora Belle in front, Wanda second, Hazel third, Allarita foarth, and Ringwnod fifth. The latter was sent off in a break. They got into the backstretch in this or- der. Half way down Hazel Wilkes broke, and the heat was fought out by Wanda and Flora Belle. Flora led easily until just past the half, when sne broke, and Wanda went, to the front. At the three-quarters Wanda was well away from Flora, who was being collared by Hazel Wilkes. Both Hazel Wilkes and Flora made a faint try at catching Wanda, but she had too much lead, and they let her come in easy in 2:28, Flora getting second, Hazel Wilkes close up to her for third, and Allarita and Kingwood strong out in fourth aud fifth place. Second Heat—The confidence in Hazel's ability to win did not wane, and she sold readily for $25 to S7 for Flora Belle, $5 for the tield, and $3 for Kingwood. When the bell tapped Wanda and the favorite went off together. Kingwood left the wire in a gallop, and was never heard of. Flora Belle and Allarita were respectively three and five lengths behind the leaders when they reached the quarter. There Hazel broke, and Wanda went away from her down tbe stretch, bat Flora Belle trotted fast enough to come up within a leagth of the leader at the half. Allarita pagsed Hazel, who continued to act badly, and got established in third place. The heat was left to Wanda and Flora Belle. Flora reached Wanda's wheel, and stayed there until half way aroand the tarn when sbe broke. Wanda came into the straight well away from Flora. Hazel got dowa to business on the tarn and came ap close to Flora, when the latter made her break. They came down home in this order, Flora Belle trotting fast and forcing Wanda out in 2:24, two seconds faster than her former record. Flora got a good second. Hazel Wilkes third, and Allarita fourth. Ringwood was distanced. Third Heat—The field was worth as much as the favorite before the third heat, selling at $25 to £25 for Hazel Wilkea and $7 for Flora Belle. There vfaseome lively hedging going on. It would have been better if the favorite's backers had "stood pat. In the third, foarth and fifth heats Hazel Wilkes was the only thing in it. Wanda waB leg weiry be- fore she went to the bait. Flora Belle, although Buster hal been put up behind her didn't do anything, and Allarita wasn't out for it. Wanda took the lead on the turn and held it to the lower taro, Hazdl Wilkes trotting at her wheel. Then a3 they reached the head of the straight Goldsmith sent the Wilkes mare along and passed Wanda with ease, winning ia 2:25, Wanda second, Allarita third, and Flora Belle fourth. Fourth and Fifth Heats—There was some more hedging done then. The favorite was ran up to $70, where the field was bringing but $11, and Flora Belle but $9. Money on the favorite was safe. She won the nest two heats as she pleased in 2:28 and 2:304. Wanda finished fourth in the fourth and third in the fifth. Allarita got second, and Flora third in the foarth, and second and fourth in the fifth heats. They di- vided third money. SW1MAET. Trotting—2:50. Purse S£00. Wm.

Saturday, August 25, closed the meeting, and as the direc- tors look out over the empty seats of the grand stand and the few rigs which stood along down the quarter stretch, they realized that in point of attendance the meeting has been a failure, and some saw in the events of Saturday the closing existence of an association which coald not live with the fearful odds which the city of Santa Kosa opposed to it. One ranning and two trotting races nude up the pro- gramme. The interest in the two trotting events was lively, for the reason that the entries were local horses, each with his local following. I. DeTark, J. N. Bailhache and A. P. Waugh were in the judges' stand. Funning Face—Nine-Sixteenths and Repeat, First Heat.—W. L. Appleby's b m Alfarata, with Hitchcock up, Kelly Jc Samuels' b m Susie S., ridden by Cook, and G. Pacheco's ch m Jolia P., ridden by Narvice, started in a nine-sixteenths and repeat. According to the talent there was but one thing in it, Susie S. They bought her in the auctions at $25, the other two starters going in the field at $11 and $13, with the backers not very anxious even at these odds. For ouce the talent were right. The bay mare had no work to do. When the flag went down Julia P. was left at the post. Alfarata jumped off a half length in front of the favorite, and held the place to half way around the turn, when she commenced to quit and got the whip. Sasie S. came on under a pall, and got into tbe straight a length to the good and stayed there, finishing an easy winner in a gallop. Second heat.—No more pools were sold. Susie S. had the race barring accidents. There were n) accidents. Alfarata agiin went off in the lead in the second heat, and Hitchcock began pushing her right from the start, but there was no ran iu her, and Susie S. laid alongside until time to make her ruD, and than she cantered in a length in the lead.

First Heat—District trotting for tbe 2:30 class was the next thing oo, with E. P. Heald's b m Nona Y., G. E. Goerne's b s Alfred G., T. Whit ton's b g Lookout, and H. \V. Crabby b m Flora B. aB startsrs. Chas. Marvin, Jas. Dnatin, W. McGraw and H. B. Starr piloted the lot. Alfred G. thu Anteso stallioo, was fancied as the winner, and with right good judgment, as he went out and won in straight heats. Auction pools sold, Alfred G. 530. the field of Nona Y. and Flora B. $11, and Lookout $S. When they got the bell after scoring three times, Lookont and Nona Y. showed in front oo the turn, Alfred Y. close up to them, Flora B. with him. Nona Y, broke just before they reached the quarter, and Al- fred G. and Flora passed to the front and went into the back- stretch together, Lookout a length behind and Nono Y. be- hind him a length. From there home the fight for the heat was between Alfred G. and Flora. They passed the hall with Alfred G. slightly in front, bat as they swung into the tarn, Lookout came up and carried Alfred Y. away to tbe outside of the track, and before Dustin could Bwing into the pole again. Flora had gone away a length in front of him, and Lookout was at his wheel. They trotted steadily at a good clip into the straight, and then Dustin called on his stallion. The horse responded with a burst of speed which took him to the front at the drawgate, and he came under the wire a good length ahead of Flora B., and four lengths from Lookout. Nona Y. made a series of breaks which cost her everything. Time. 2:27). Second Heat.—After "the heat the pools sold about tbe same as before, Flora B. in the field bringing a dollar or two more. The second heat was a race. Alfred G. and Flora trotted together in front and Look Oat and Nona Y. as a team a length in the rear. Nona repeated her running tactics whenever the pace grew warm for her. They went in the order named until they swung into the lower turn, when Alfred G. led by a length and the other three buuched be- hind him. The pace was fast, and for the first time Alfred G. left his feet, and for the first time Nona Y., with Look Out at her wheel, showed in front. Dustin got his horse down quickly and sent him along at a fast dip to regain his lost groond. When they swung into the straight he was in front of Look Out, aud at Nona's wheel. A hundred yardB further and he was on even terms with the mare. Under the pres- sure even Marvin couldn't hold the mare down, and she broke. Alfred G. went on and took the heat in 2:234, Nona Y. finishing second. Look Out, four lengths back, third, and Flora B. fonrth. Nona Y. was setback for running, and Look Oat was given second place, she taking third. Third Heat.—The third heat was another fast one, Alfred G. leading all the way, Nona G. tried to stay with him, bat broke continually, and when they came down the straight Alfred G. had the heat and race won. He finished five lengths in front of Nona Y. in 2:24£. Look Oat got third place and Flora B. finished fourth. SUM M AST. Santa Rosa, An*. 24th, 1P89. District trotting: 2:30. Purse §400. G. E.

First Heat—Of the five entries in the District Stallion Race, 2:40 class, four started. They were L. H. Bogg's blk s Sar Del, driven by J. Gray; Murphy & Sanborn's ch s Ned Lock, driven by Goldsmith; J. W. Martin's b s Clay Duke, driven by owner; A. T. Hatch's b s Guide, driven by J. Sutherland, and the Rosedale Farm's b s Daly, driven by Chas. Marvin. Ned Lock had the strongest kind ot following in the pool- boxes, and sold like iced drinks at a picnic, bringing §40 in pools where Guide, a strong Eecond choice, brought $35 and the field §15. The first heat was a dead heat between Ned Lock and Guide. When the bell tap sounded Guide went off in the lead, with Ned Lock second, Sar Del third, and the others buuched behind, and these positions were unaltered until they got into tbe straight, then Guide lost his feet, as he had done twice on the backstretch, and Ned Lock came up with him. The two came home at a rattling pace, Guide slightly in front. The last fifty yards saw Ned Lock crawling up inch by inch, but be started too late, and as they passed under the wire Guide had a short head the lead. Daly was three leDgths behind them, Sar Del one behind him, and Clay Dake, who had made no showing in the heat, a length in the rear of Snr Del. Although Guide was first under the wire, his ranning was against him, and the judges announced a dead heat, placing the others as tbev finished. Time for the beat, 2:294. Second Heat—Daly made a good showing for the first half of the second heat, and for a time looked a winner, but as a breaker he made a glaring success, and Marvin couldn't bold him to his gait. He trotted fast enough to have wod, but invariably went off bis feet at the most critical times. Daly led Ned Lock a length to the head of the straight. Guide trotting along in a good third place. When Goldsmith shook Ned Lock up >mi began his play for tbe lead, Daly went up and gave it to him. Daly was no more in it. Gaide broke in an attempt to catch the leader and lost second place Ned Lock trotted squarely to the wire aud won Clay Dnke slipping by the breakersand get til Guide getting third, Snr Del fonrth and L Time, 2:314. Pools sold before the heat: Ned Guide £27, and the field $15.
