Stable and Its Prospects.

The annual meeting of the Pacific Coast
Blood-horse Association was held last night
at 313 Bush street The following Board Of
Officers was elected to serve during the
coming year: President. Daniel Nj. Burns {:
First Vlce-President, p. A. Finig an; Sec

rectors-M. +. Tarpey, III. A. Gunst, James
P. Kerr and P. v. Quinlan.
The offices of Treasurer and Secretary
will be filed by the selection of the Board
OF Directors. To them was also left the
selection OF the date of the spring meeting
This will be about the beginning of April,
and the meeting will be held at the Bay Dis
trlct Track, the retiring President, Ariel
Lathr0p, assuring the association that the
use OF the track would be given. ALI that
would be required from the association was
that they should for their protection repair
the fences if they were not by that time put
in order. This information of MIR. La
throp's does away with the impression that
the Bay District Track is to be at once laid
out for building purposes.
SEVEN DAYS AT BAY DISTRICT.
1t was also decided to make the spring
meeting of seven days duration, and give
large entries.
The Treasurer announced that owing to
the good attendance at the last fall and
spring meetings, the association had now
over $500 to its credit, and had paid off
some $l40O Of cid debts. This is about the
first time for many year that the associa-
ton has had credit balance to its ac-
count, and this very satisfactory state of af-
fairs Is principally due to the careful fnan-
ciering Of Treasurer p. A. Finigan and
President Lathrop.
Votes of thanks were passed by the meet
Ing 10 the retiring officers and special
standing vote OF thanks was also rendered
unanimously to retiring President Ariel
Lathrop.
With such an influx of new blood and ac-
tive workers the new Board Of Directors
wlli be enabled to ensure the greatest sue
cess yet attained by the association.
BALDwIN's STABLE.
Dow Williams, the very intelligent and
gentlemanly head trainer of Z. j. Baldwin's
stable, Is up from the Santa Anita ranch and
Is stopping at the Baldwin Hotel. In speak
ing CT the stables prospects for the coming
season Mr.. Williams stated that the trials of
the two-year-olds had taken place some three
weeks ago and without disclosing any stable
secrets 1t may be said that the results proved
that there is plenty of first-class form
among the youngsters. Indeed the time made
ensures that the black and Maltese cross
colors will be carried by some OF the high

WITH SPANISH NAMES.
1t will be noticed that the new two-year.

names, following up the old tradition that

available Mr.. Williams SPEAKS very highly

last year, and considers him, contrary to
Mr.. Baldwin and the public opinion. per-
tectly honest He says that Barnes is the
best jockey. outside of Murphy, he ever saw
on horse. and MIR. Williams undoubtedly
has the courage of his convictions. =.
