It was fruitful of many upsets. Bad riding contributed largely to the downfall of favorites. In this particular J. Daly, Robinson and Preston were most at fault. -The latter was mostly to blame for the defeat of Wee Lass in the feature race of the afternoon. Pres- ton was continually looking back as he led through the stretch. Had he gone on about his business .the filly would have won. Joan L.

It moved one horseman to remark: "The next time be makes a spiel to leave off riding horses and go back to the foundry Ill cheerfully contribute to pay his railroad fare away from here." Rome Respess and his connections are reported to have won a large sum by the victory of Zln-fandel, which romped home in the opening race at four and a half furlongs. A race at this short distance at this time of year is unusual. The biggest upset of the afternoon came in the last race when Sand Bath won In decisive style. Jockey Buchanan, who rode him, scored his first winner since the granting of a ..license recently. L. A. Bonsack has shipped four horses, Including Search Me and Cotillion, to Los Angeles. They will be rested until the- opening " if the -VAseot Park meeting. .... Hughes Brothers arrived here today from Lexington with eight horses..
