SAN FRANCISCO, October 2Oth.-The
meeting held last evening to close the
entries for the great four-mile-and-
repeat running race for 100000, gold
coin, decided to extend the entry time
until Monday, October 25th. 1t seems
that the President of the Jockey Club,
Mayor Bryant, while in New York
recently, informed the owner of the
celebrated Kentucky runner, Stam-
pede, that horses could be registered
for the race until the 25th instant.
The President was really mistaken as
to the time, but the Club thought it
would be unfair to take advantage Of
the error, and thus exclude Stampede,
whose owner has probably forwarded
the entry from New York ere this and
arranged to start for California imme-
diately after the Baltimore meeting.
The horses presented for entry last
evening were Wild Idle, Rutherford,
Revenue, Springbok and Katie Pease.
1t is expected that seven of the fleetest
runners in. tho United States
will start in the race, and at
this time the indications are
these turfmen will carry away the
prize, Budd Dohle is in the city with
Goldsmith Maid, Occident, st. James
and Ella Wright, The Maid is feeling
as well as could be expected after her
journey across the continent. Doble
expresses confidence in her ability to
surpass her Mystic Park record of 2l4
and says the trial will be made on
the Bay District Course before the
present meeting closes. Occident,
is said is improving every day.
