The three-minute class were the next horses on the programme, for which 

 Alio, Perihelion, and Rosie Mc appeared. It did not take long to find 

 the favorite, Dr. Davenport's fine young horse by Altoona being selected. 

 His price was $40 against $10 for Perihelion and $5 for the field; the result 

 proving that the starters were sized up accurately. Alio won in three 

 straight heats, Perihelion being second in the first and second heats. This 

 result looked so much like a moral certainty from the start, that both in- 

 terest and excitement were lacking during the race.

The closing race of the day was the 2:20 class, for which four started — 



Lot Slocum, Stamboul, Sister, and Menlo. The betting could not be called 



speculation, for the result, like its predecessors, was a foregone conclusion, 



barring accidents. The horses sold at $200 Slocum, $60 Stamboul, $24 



Sister, and $15 Menlo, the exact order in which the race was finished. 



Slocum was practically barred after the first heat; the time shows that he 



was never pushed but had seconds to spare in each heat. With Slocum 



out of the race, Stamboul would have overtopped his field, so that there 



was practically no interest in the contest, Slocum carrying off the three 



heats in one-two-three order, and in slower time than he made recently at 



the Golden Gate meeting.
