UJISTKAI. II BIATS SALVABLE. After Balvabla bad won bis first two races at Hawthorne, all tbe horsemen and eide experts considered him to be about tbe best horse in training in the west. Bat since tben be has been beaten twice and yesterday when he finished behind such horses as Mistral II., Periwig and Prestar, it was the universal opinion that the irregularly great son of Salvator Lydia is not the best bettirg proposition on American soil. The collective wisdom thus got in line with Salvables turf career. The fact that Mizpah beat Salvable at a mile in 1 :391 last Monday was not charged up and yesterdays sixth iace looked like a gift for Pat Dunnes horse. In consequence 11 to 20 was considered a royal price aaainst him. Tbis was but sparsely offered, 1 to 2 being the prevailing odds. Salvable had no apparent racing excuse for his defeat. Burns got him away flying and rated him cleverly in front But when the pinch came at the head of tbe stretch be was not equal to the occasion, and despite the boys effort he could not stall off Mistral II., Periwig or Prestar. Mistral II. won the Salvable race in grand style by a nose after a Boul-trying drive all the length of the stretch with Periwig. The winner had to b3 a lot the best to win, tco, as Hamilton b.aa him in several pockets down the back stretch and never got clear sailing until the lass quarter of a mile. That Bonneville is a hors"5of keen speed when he is at hi3 best was clearly demonstrated in the fourth race at a mile and a sixteenth. In it Benneville had a fast filly like Found to contend with. Found had won so easily and impressively Tuesday, that she seemed to be a racing certainty. Benneville, however, went right along with her the first five furlong in 1:001. Thi3 hung the filly up. Tbe sharp pece seemed to have no effect whatever on Benneville and after shaking off Found he came on and won easily in 1:451, which was within half a second of the record held by Car-nero. Benneville more than likely would have broken this record had he bsen forced to do his best. The selling race war seems to be at its height and after Mocorito had won the third race, at three-quarters of a mile, in 1:131, both I J. H. Smith and P. M. Civill sought to buy her. The filly was entered for C0, but Smith and Civill ran her up to ,000. Ber owner, O. P. Romigh, kept her at ,005. Mccorito won like a good -filly. She set her own pace, too. Out of the second race at five furlongs for two-year-old fillies came a most sensational finish. Below the sixteenth post there was a general closing up -and for an instant any of the first four had a chance to win. McQaade and Fidel Youliu proved the strongest combination and got the verdict. The Barrett party won well over the victory of Mr. Barretts filly Brownie Anderson in the seven-furlong two-year-old race, fifth on the card.. Brownie Anderson was as good as 31 to 1, and getting off in front, won all the way. Yo-loco, the S to 5 favorite, b3at Basseda a head for the place. Th9ro were fif tejn cheap maidens in the first race, which was at nine furlong3, and Holdup, a 15 to 1 shot won by a couple of lengths. Captain J. H. Ren will b in the city Itoi ay.
