was an impression that the Palo Alto stable would start the black 

 filly, by Wildidle, from Frolic, which Mr. Walsh had never intended 

 to do, and the other was the great trial of Schoolgirl, who had run 

 the track from wire to wire in 1 :40 with one hundred and ten pounds 

 up. Rather an amazing performance for a two-year old filly of 

 Schoolgirl's size, but there is no doubt that she did it. Closing prices 

 were: Schoolgirl, three hundred and hfty dollars; Shenandoah, three 

 hundred dollars; field, one hundred and thirty-live dollars. They 

 got away with only an ordinary start, but as well as could be expected 

 from such a mob of restless youngsters. When the flag fell Carter 

 gave Shenandoah the buckskin heartily, and the brown set the pace 

 at a great rate. Duffy was on the favorite, and he did his best to close 

 the gap on the backstretch, but Shenandoah had the race won and 

 came to the score first by two lengths. There was some lively hustling 

 for second place, and it resulted in a dead heat between Schoolgirl and 

 E. J. Baldwin's chestnut filly, by Grinstead, from Josie C. Schoolgirl 

 pulled up lame, and her racing days are most likely over. She was 

 the fourth that had gone to the veterinary that afternoon.

The third number was a purse for three-year olds. Dash of one 

 mile. The starters were Lucky B, Marian, and Stanislaus, and in 

 the pools Lucky was rated at two to one over both the others. At 

 the start Stanislaus jumped to the front and led around the turn at 

 a clipping pace. After passing the quarter. Lucky B moved up, but 

 fell back again, and Stanislaus was first to the half, by two lengths, 

 in 0:50. But that was the end of him. He dropped out of the race 

 before the next furlong was run, and Lucky B won at a gallop, 

 Marian second, Stanislaus way off one hundred and fifty yards.

 but Jubilee rushed off the fastest, leading to the quarter in 0:2Gi and 

 the half in 0:53. At that point the others were well bunched close
