The Opening Handicap, one mile, to be run this af- ternoon at Emeryville, on paper is such a severe rid- dle to solve that I would not be surprised to see the favorite as good as 3 to 1. Proper is the top-weighter •at 126 pounds, and justly so, as he is the classiest horse in the contest, taking courage and weight-pack- ing ability as the test. He rna a mile this season in the heavy going better than 1:41 with 122 pounds up, went the short six furlongs in 1:1014 with 114 pounds, and a mile and a furlong in about 1:52 4-5 with 127 pounds in the saddle. Thus, even on a time and weight basis, his races will compare favorably with those of any horse in the race. Bragg is nicely- weighted at 10S pounds, and as he not long ago ran a mile in 1:4014 with 106 pounds up, has an undoubted opportunity to win. Graziallo (113 pounds) was beat- en half a length at seven furlongs in 1:27 with 127 pounds up, and if he should be in as good shape now as then ought to run the mile in about 1:39 3-5. As he is the stable companion of Proper, Walter Jen- nings has a right to shake hands with himself and do a little chuckling. San Nicolas (109 pounds) in 1904 ran a mile in 1:39% at Kansas City, winning easily by two lengths with 103 pounds on his back. Beau Ormonde (107). in the stud for some time past, has a mile in 1:38 to his credit at Worth track with about 90 pounds up. Rightful (106) did seven furlongs over the slow Memphis track in 1:28 on July 1st last, car- rying 109 pounds, and winning the Gaston Hotel Handicap, and beat Andrew Mack and other good ones at seven furlongs previous to that. In all his other Memphis races he was placed. Red Leaf (100) carried 105 pounds at Latonia and was beaten a head at a mile by Maj. T. J. Carson (94) in 3-5. Fig- uring that the Emeryville track and the Latonia course are about the same these d
