Tho Greatest Crowd Kvor i onsregatedin Recent Years Jo Attvr.'.'.rnoo. San Francisco, Oal., F h. 23.?The groatest crowd that ever o J..**rog?t(d within a race track course lr? this oity in reoent years assembled at the Bay dis? trict track, the unusual feature of a four mile stake race proving an attrac? tion sufficient to draw visitors from all sections of the State. It was the Thornton stakes, and was valued at 83,000. Thore were three starters, Green B. Morris' Imp Star Suby, the Blmwood stock farms Claud? ius and the Syoamore atablea' GUead. This event was won laat year by the latter hone, but notwithstanding this win, he was overlooked In the betting to the post as a third ohoioe. Imp 8tar Ruby was the virtual favorite, but there was suoh a strong play atpoat time that they were both even money. Grannan, Pittsburg, Philadelphia and the plungers were down on Claudius on the strength of a very faat work-out. When the flag fell Claudius took the lead, closely followed by Gilead. Star Buby was kept about an eighth of a mile behind the two leaders for about three miles and a half. The first mile was run in 1:56X; the second In 1:51K; the third in 1:47, and the last in l:489f. When the horses had negotiated three mllos and a half, Martin sent Buby for? ward with a rush and turning into the stretch, the two leaders fought it out, Star Buby winning in a hard drive by a scant length. Imp. Star Ruby's time in the last mile was 1:45. The time for the four miles was 7:33%, but three seconds slower than the California record. The six furlong handioap went to NagleeBurk's ooit, Bellhose who was to all third favorite. Four favorites and the second choices secured first money. The weather was fine and the track very fast.
