[Continued from Page TWENTY SECOND DAY—TUESDAY, NOVEHEER 28- »HAT comes first to-day—tbe single or double scull race ? asked a lover of acquatic sports visiting Bay District track to-day. And we did not give a pitying look to the interrogator, either, for there was much reason in his (at first blush) foolish question. The race course did not look unlike a canal of good dimensions and perfect symmetry, and we have seen some creeks that had no larger volume of water flowing with- in their banks. Notwithstanding all this, some very enjoy- able racing was had, and the rain-god failed to turn on the hose all the afternoon. The fog-man was in the vicinity, however, and shoveled a lot of it out on the back and home- stretches, making it impossible in a couple of the races to see anything but start and finish. Not asingle favorite got home in front, but several of those that won were well-played, nota- bly JimR., Garcia and Vivace. The bookmakers must have had a very respectable inning to-day, though, taken all in all. The sensations of the day were the victories of Patsy O'Neal and Trix, respectively at odds of 1 5 to 1 and 7 to 1.

He was on Trix, at 7 to 1 ; Garcia, at 3} to 1, and Vivace at 3 to 1. Tom Nimbus, whom he brought in second, was at 2 to 1 for place. Patsy O'Neal, a 15 to 1 shot, got away second in the first race, soon took command, and won by three good lengths from Tom Nimbus, with Lee Stanley, au unknown, in third place. There was a very quiet tip out on Patsy O'Neal, who is half-brother to Tim Murphy, but only a few from Oregon really knew what the horse could do. He had run here but once, and was then unplaced.
