SACRAMENTO, April %. - Sunday was
rather quiet day with the horsemen, and
but few answered the rolls called several
times during the morning and afternoon at
the favorite rendezvous. the piazza of the
Golden Eagle Hotel. The chairs on the
stoop, which are generally at high prem
ium with crowds of anxious would-be sit
tiers awaiting the retirement of some tired
ofsitting turtle, were abundantly accessi-
BILE, and afforded those who remained in
town comfortable roosting- places.
VISIT TO THE HAGGIN RANCH.
Most of the horsemen went out early in
the morning to the Haggin ranch, and
spent most enjoyable day inspecting the
vast herds of thoroughbred stations, brood
mares and foals. 1t is hard to say how
many there are at the ranch, but they num-
Der we'll over thousand, with daily foal-
Ing additions. There are over one hundred
yearlings, by such sires as Darebin, Sir
Modred, Hyder Ali, Warwick, John Happy
and others. These youngsters will be sent
East shortly to be sold in New York.
One of the best looking colts at the
ranch is yearling by Sir Modred-Play-
thing, full brother to Tournament. Be-
sides the thoroughbreds there is an army
Of gilt-edged trotting youngsters on hand.
Most Of them are by Albert w, who will be
bred to sixty standard mares this spring.
1t Is impossible to do any justice to the
quality OF the stock raised at the ranch
and the impo rtant factor in the States
breeding farm interests that the Haggin
esta Adjustment is, unless space is available
to give the leading details. Under these
circumstances an extended account is de-
ferred until after the races now being given
by the State Agricultural Society.
Colonel Fl. /. Thornton is the happy and
fortunate possessor of another Carrie c
foal, dropped about ten days ago. The
newcomer is by Darebin, and as Carrie G
is the dam of two of the winners of the Ra-
cine stakes at the Blood-horse meeting
Sobrante and SOnoma-the colt will GER
tainly prove to be of high quality and
bring the Thornton colors often first under
the wire If he is as good as his breeding
ought to make him.
TURFAGEN TAKE A TUMBLE
Quite a number of the h0rsemen had a
good time at the fire on Sunday night.
About twenty OF them, who were critciz-

the sidewalk gave way, and, like McGinty,

On their return from the fire all reported
having enjoyed themselves immensely.

some.
FLAMBEAU's BREAKDOWN.
II is the general opinion of the trainers
here that Flambeau has gone wrong and is
in pretty bad way. The fact of his having
met with an accident was fully mentioned
In IHE CALL at the time it occurred.
Since tie colt has been here he has only
done walking exercise. He will not go
East. and the lease of his running qualities
for the season to the Hearst stable has
been declared off. 1t is Just possible that
the breakdown is not hopeless and with a
complete let-up the colt may race again
next year, but for this season his career is
believed TO be at an end. This misfortune
is most Notifying one, as it has pre-
vented the best three-year-old on the Coast,
prior to his accident, from showing the
Eastern cracks what his true value was.
The Hearst string, which has raced at
San Jose and the Blood porse, passed
through Sacramento on Saturday night en-
route for the East.
ADDITION TO THE UNDINE STABLE.
The racing qualities of Racine, the now
best three-year-od in the Palo Alto stable,
have been leased for the season TO T. Ii.
Williams and Ira Ramsdell, who race
under the name of the Undine stable.
They have secured w. H. Mccormick. late
trainer for Theodore Winters, who had
charge of FL Rio Rey last year, to train for
them. At the conclusion of the present
meeting Mccormick will go East with the
stable, which will consist of the two-year-
olds Homer and Glenlivet and the three
y,ear-old Racine. An offer to purchase AL
Farrow 10 add to the string, has been re-
fused, as w. Ii. Smith will go East him
self with the horse and some others. Quite
possibly the Undine stable Twill make adj
dditions to its present number before going
East.
DUKE OF MILPITAs.
Negotiations sre pending between c.
Boots and W. ii. Smith for the two-year-old
Prince of Norfolk colt. Duke of Milpitas
The price is said to be $1,000, and if Mr..
Boots sells him, the Duke will go East and
gagged East. A full description of him was
given in The CALLS San Jose race reports.
Dick Havey, the well-known trotting-
horse driver, has been engaged by the
PalO Alto people 10 act as assistant to
Charley Marvin, and went down to the
farm last week.
