Breeders' and Horsemen's Asso- ciation NINTH DAY—FRIDAY, JUNE 9. » HERE were several kinds of excite- merit this afternoon at the old track, and a goodly crowd was in atten- dance to help makederoxcidement. Again four favorites were beaten, the other events being taken by two second choices and two rather long shots. The track was in prime order and the racing good throughout. Six races were on the card, but the handicap of seven furlongs was de- clared off on account of all scratching out but three. The feature of the day's sport was the exceedingly close finish between Lodi and Durango, less than two inches separating the pair at the end. As is generally the case when there is such a close contest and one horse is dying away, the other gaining fast, there was a clamoring over the verdict. Tornado led to the homestretch in the first race, then Zam- lock came up and won easily by a length, with Niagara in the place, half a length in front of Chiquito. Charley Quick led all the way in the second race, closely pressed to the final sixteenth by Arno. Kitty L. came from the rear and got the place and Lady Jane the show. Trix took the third race into camp for his owner, C. H. Durkee. Tillie S. led at the half and North into the home- Btretch. Tillie S. was the favorite, and but for poor riding on Kinne's part should have won the race. She finished over a length behind Trix, however, and about as far in front of North. Mendocino won the fourth very cleverly by half a length, after Nellie Van ind Ida Glenn had run in the lead into the homestretch. Prince was a good second and April third, just & head in front of Ida Glenn. Durango, dying away at a great rate, just lasted long enough to get the verdict in the last race by the narrowest possible margin from Lodi, with O'Bee in the show. How the Races Were Run. SUMMARY.
