LOWERS HIS RECORD.
StambouI TrOts Nile in 2:l1 IA
at Stockton.
He Reaches the Half in 1:031s. 2:07 Gait
. Efforts to Get the Bay District Track
: in Racing Order.

According TO the dispatches received last
night Stambnul was sent yesterday by
job my Goldsmith over the Stockton track
to beat the record Of 2:11 y made by him at
Napa during the last breeders meeting. The
accounts received are yeIy meager, and only
=; state that accompanied by runner he went
themile in 2:1IA reducing his time by a quar-
ter of second. The first quarter was maze III
os3a and the half in ;C31lz-a 2:o7 gait. How
fast he re4ched the three-quarters, or the
way in which he finished, is not stated In
tile adviceS received.
Judging from the data to figure on, Gold
smith sent Stamboul to the half faster than
he has ever yet gone there. Could he have
maintained the clip he would have obliter-
+ated all standing records, and Maud would
have been put in the shade BY just one sec
ond and three-quarters. But tie rate at
which. he went half of the route, if the time
is correctly given, told its tale, and II slow
up coming home was the consequence.
Still the time made of 2:11A is most credit
able and is the present stallion record oil the
Coast. :Sunol holds the fastest Coast record,
However, with her 1Oh, made over the Bay
District Track in the fall of 1899.
FORCED RUMoB.
:: Runners we're freely circulated last night
that kilograms were received from Gold
smith stating that StambOul had gone the
:lirile in 2:O7si, and rains were taken to i'm
press the alleged fact that to make his mean
ling perfectly plain Goldsmith had written
:. out the time as seven and three-quarterS,
=: and had not confined himself to sending it
down in figures. On tracing up these rumorS
:. they were found 10 emanate from an If
responsible party, whose sole ambition
= seems to be to gain free advertising motor
iety..
:: PREPARING THE TRACK.
: AS soon as the condition of the Bay Dis
. tTict Track for the fall meeting OF the Blood
horse Association was made known 10 some
@of the Directors steps were at once taken 10
enable Track Superintendent Mulkey TO
place it in some sort of order. Director
Williams. came out early in the afternoon
ara ordered two more teams to be put 10
work Immediately. This move will enable
fine Track Superintendent 10 get it into pass
able shape by tomorrow. At the pres
:. ent writing it is unsafe for the runners
=. to work oyer. Not one stable has yet at
= tempted TO send any of their horses over 1T.
. Is IL the work done has been over the inside
saBd-track. The trainers at the track feel
quite sore over the manner in which the as
:~s0ciation has acted. Since Monday last
neither tine President nor the Secretary has
considered it worth his while to visit the
. course and see how things were progressing
1t is just such let-alone policy that has
acted against the success Of all the blood
HORSE meetings.
ALL AT THE TRACK.
:" All the entries for the meeting are now at
the track. Since the last publication Of
e TIRE CALL the following stables have ar
rived: Billy Appleby's Odette, Raindrop,
" Rico, Conrad, Alfaretta and Applause;
: Elmwood stabie-Duke OF MiIpitas, Nabeau,
Ninco, Nerva. Installation. Initiation and
Sir Walter; Maltese Villa, Zingarella.
e From the condition of the Duke, Nero,
Iodowic fearless, SinfaX and Conrad much
interest should center in the twO-year-Old
events, in which they come together. Sen
'sational reports are current at the track
about Nero's ability. The Duke of Milpi-
: Ias, the mueh-maligned as to temper, cham
. piGn of the Elmwood stable, Is. in his stall,
as mild hammered a colt as ever looked
through a bride He can be handled as
freely as a cow. Unfortunately, at the
post, he acts like crazy horse. Sometime
. the Duke will act sensibly. and when he
= does he will make show OF his company.
The only trouble is in guessing when he viii
= behave nationally.
NOT WORKED OUT.
: Owing TO none Of the horses entered for
the first days racing daring to work out over
{: the regular course, no account of how fast
they can work can be given. Not one of
them has been worked out since they ar
. rived at the track, and with only some thirty
called up no estimates of their present form
can be made. This condition of affairs will
- suit the boOk-makers, and to-morrow's rae
ing ought to be very open. With the condi-
tiun Of the track and the inability to work,
the favoriteS are more likely to be bowled
: over than TO win.
= John Mackey of the Rancho del Paso says
it will be impossible for Salvador to show
: UP at the meeting. The king of the turf has
been let down and turned out.
TRoTs DECLARED OFF.
. Secretary Baldwin stated last night to
:. several Inquiring horsemen that the trotting
meeting at Coronado Beach, announced to
commence on December 5th, had been de-
.ciared off. The running meeting, opening
the following week. is still ON the pro-
. gTamme, and if enough entries are received
Will, probably take place.
MAT STORM AS STARTER.
Several leading ruGning-hors owners last
night stated that they would like to see Mat
storm handle the starter flag in such races
at the fall meeting, where Henry Walsh, the
. appointed official starter, was unable to act
owing to his own entries being among the
contesta nts. Mat Storms reputation for
honesty and capability is so fully admitted
by the horsemen and public that the appoint
ment would prove most satisfactory all
round.
