WEBER ON a Star recently gave G. NJ
Hendee good race for a mile. Time
2.45, done on a mile track in bad condi-
ton was considered very good per-
Torrance.
DORSEY THE owner OF the 5-year old
stallion, Epaulette. has raised his price
from $50, 600, to $4,000, and says he will
trot in 2.05, maybe two minutes, before
snow flies.
THERE ARE nearly two thousand
$50 or better Fifty-nine trotters and
thirteen PAGERS, making a total of seven
ty-two have done, thirty or better this
year.
THE BICYCLE track is in very bad con-
dition, and should have the early atten-
ton of those in charge. 1t is entirely
unfit for speeding, so the boys can do
but little towards fitting themselves for
the 24th.
JOHNNY HELD, the engraver, has a
fifty-six inch Victor, which arrived this
week. The gentleman expresses himself
well pleased with the new style machine
and thinks they are bound to become
favorites.
IT is reported that L. C. Lee will be
paced to low-dOwn record during the
summer, and then converted to trOtter.
Thi> will make his services more sought
after IN the stud, and greatly increase
his value as sire.
Mr.. SHARP WALKER was on hand at
Cleveland to witness the great Phallas-
Cobb match of the Fourth. He proba-
bly, shared the disappointment with
many Others of seeing Maxey Cobb
make such a poor display of his great
speed.
JAY EYE SEE is reported rank and out
o. condition; and the chance of his
beating the record this season is out of
the question. He is a wonderfully
game and speedy horse, but Cases greed
for money or glory, entirely upset him,
and may force his retirement for this
season.
RARUs. JR. is in fair condition, and if
entered in the 2.34 class on the oath,
should win it hands down; as Jack
Gamble. Greenback, Countryman and
ers. The probable entries are Kate Ew-
ing, Birdseye, Elsie and perhaps one or
two others.
To THE officers of the bicycle club, we
would suggest Joseph Wood as an ex-
cellent candidate for nrst class honors.
That Theodore Angel in the second
class has ever been able to make him ex-
tend himself we very much doubt. but
that i'll the first class the two Wood
boys and Angel would make very
pretty race, we are certain.
WE UNDERSTAND Osborne Angel has
declined to run in the first class for the
$50 medal and the championship of the
Territory. If this be so. and the races
were all arranged at the last meeting. il
will entitle William Wood to walk over
for the race. provided there are no new
entries. To postpone it would be unfair
to Billy, and against racing laws. Go
in and try, Osborne. for YOU may grasp
the Gov ted prize and title, when least |
expected. and only in trying is there
sure success.
FRoMAN exchange we learn that."S
8. Walker of salt Lake City has traded |
the famous ringing mare, Ethel, or Lulu !
w. to Nj. Salisbury of California for the |
gray horse Romero. (2l91z). She is to !
be bred to Director, while he will do stud |
duty at Salt Lake" We We're aware the |
mare was well known east; but tnat she |
was a famous ringer We must confess |
our ignorance. Their classes and horses |
where she gained her fame, must have |
been good deal behind Salt Lakes. for
her fig ty disposition successfully nre-
vented her downing our second raters !
COUNSELLOR CRAWFORD. as he is called
the right hand man of ]. l. Case. wants
to back Phalias against anv horse on
the turf, for from 81 900 to $25 600 a side
This does not apply to Maud 5. as She
IS not on the turf in a racing sense.
And again, Mr.. Boner has never ahso-
lutely refused to allow his horses To con-
test race. So the gauntlet Crawford
has thrown down, stands very little
chance OF being picked up. Harry
Wilkes, Clingstone, MaJoIica and Epau-
lette are the only horses in America to
day who would stand even a chance
with this kipgof stations. who could, if
forced, trot close to 2.10
THE PURSES offered for the oath give
every assurance of filling. hence, an en-
ioyable afternoon sport may be ex-
nected at the Driving Park on that tiav.
Iia::2re are five events on tn card. three
running and two trotting races, and
With the number of horses already here
and some few yet TO come, they should
