The second was a running race for district two-year olds, half mile 

 dash ; one of the series of colt races that had attracted much attention, 

 having filled with ten entries. This was signalized by Mr. Finigan 

 assuming the role of starter ; a satisfaction to owners, namers, and 

 jockeys. Pools opened with the Baldwin filly, by Rutherford, a clear 

 favorite, bringing even money against all the balance. Five colts 

 appeared as starters, Harry Rose taking the pole, Baldwin filly next, 

 St. David third, Minnie Rathburn fourth, Baywood outside. 



After the usual labor, they were got off together by a nose; Baldwin 

 filly second, and St. David a close third. 



SUMMARY. 



One half mile dash for district two-year olds. Purse $200.

The third event was a running race, free for all district horses; mile 

 dash; closed with four entries. All appeared as starters. Pico & 

 Estudillo's Klipspringer bringing ten dollars in the pools, to fifteen 

 dollars for the balance, which included Baldwin's ch. f., by Grinstead, 

 out of sister to Clara D; Forster's s. s. Griffin, by Rutherford, and 

 Charley Thomas' s. s. Balboa, by Norfolk, all showing the bluest of 

 blood, and each looking a veritable racehorse. 



When the blanket was pulled from Klipspringer a burst of admi- 

 ration arose from the crowd, and seconded by the pools jumping to 

 seventy-five dollars, against sixty dollars for all the rest. One or two 

 false starts, and all got off in close order, the favorite coming under 

 the wire first, Baldwin filly at his shoulder, the others side by side, a 

 couple of lengths behind.
