: . : : 1 ONE Or OUR CRACK TWO-YEAR-OLDS AND UNBEATEN IN NEW YORK RACING - C. L. HARRISONS B. C, 2, WALDO, BY PLANUDES SALAMA. For all that anyone knows now Waldo may p5v into winter quarters with the fame of being the best two-year-old of 1000. It would not have occurred to the patrons of the Oakland race track, where he made his debut, to view him in that light, lie tirst started in a purse race of a half mile at Oakland. March 25, and was well backed, but ran unplaced to Kiang, Gilpy and Salian. He did better in his next race, which was tlie Gebhard Handicap. April 3. ITyiug Squirrel, 122 pounds, was first: Glennadeane, 103 pounds, second, and Waldo. 07 pounds, third, thirteen others finishing behind the three, of which all but one was given more weight than Waldo. April S he won a purse race, with Harry Grothe second and Gelico third, and ran a half-mile in -18,1, with 112 pouuds up. April 14 he was unplaced to Penn. Quality Street and Pretend in a dash of four and a half furlongs, run in 544. These four races were all run at Oakland, and it would have taxed superhuman wisdom to deduce from them an unbeaten record over the New York tracks in good company. Yet such is Waldos record after being brought east. It was simply a case, not infrequent, of a good horse developing slowly. Taken to Xew York he made his first eastern start at Belmont Park, May lo, In the Juvenile Stakes, at five furlongs. !!d, at a long price, won by a half length from John L. Maddens supposed crack.
