AGAINST TIME AGAIN.
Further Trials Will Be Made by
the Trotting Cracks To-Day.

To-day the harness cracks of the Coast
viii make further trials al the Bay District
Track to lower their records. Palo Alto,
Sunol, Stamb0ul and Vida Wilkes are billed
on the programme as active participants III
to-dav's events That Palo Alto will do
better than last Saturday is not considered
possible by the horSemen. The horse Is
sore, very sore in front, and should have
wel-eaIned and necessary rest Sun0l may,
however. do better than she did the other
day, but that she will equal 2:10R, her pres
emf notch, while a possibility, is not proba-
blity. Many judges think that Stambouls
present notch of 2:11h is his limiE, and that
he will not be again this year in as good
order as when he made that mark. AS
Vida Wilkes has been showing better than
2:22E IL her work recently, she Will very
likely take a new record. Those who go
out To tie track will hardly see Father Tine
knocked out by any one of the three leaders,
but they will doubtless have some fast work
shown them. The Bay District course is in
fine order. though becoming little hard,
and the trainers of the fast tiiers seem TO
think that they will do something remarkable
to-day. Besides the time trials purse will
be trotted by the following entries: Wanda to
cart, Lee to cart. Redwood to harness and
Express TO harness. This handlcapplng
should bring the quartet pretty close to-
gpther and make the selection OF the winner
a somewhat difficult matter. There will also
be some matches for records, and an ambi-
tious PAGER will have Set-to with the clock.
The races will commence sharp at l o'clock
to-day.
Already many of the trainers of stables
that will take part in the blood-horSe meet
ing have been to the Bay District Track Sc
and Boots stables chose their stalls yester-
day and will come TO the track next Wednes-
day. Good reports are given of the two
year-olds, Duke of MilPitas in the Boots
stable and of Conrad in Appeby's. The
Duke, though probably the most eXasperat-
ing animal at the post that has been seen for
many a DAY, is the impers onification of gem
tleness in his work, and is then as doclie as
an old COW. According to the trainers most
of the two ear-olds entered at the meeting
are in good order, and there should be a
great race when Snfax, Conrad, Duke OF
Milpitas, Nero and Lodowic meet. The In
dine stables youngsters, Rinfax and Homer,
will probably not start The Thornton col
Ors will not be seen at the meeting, as the
horseS have been turned out. Neither VIII
the Winters stable be represented. Some
entries are expected from the Hearst stable
by the end of the week. 1t is thought they
were mailed in the East last Saturday.
The declaring off of the San Jose running
meeting that as set for this week proved a
disappointment to many. Twelve races had
Deen placed on lDe programme, III WHICH
forty horses had made entries. All the
events We're purses to which the entrance
was set at 10 per cent. This percentage was
thought TOO high, and although it was be-
leved it would be reduced the Directors did
not see fit to do so. This did not suit the
horspmen, who cancelled their entries, thus
causing the meeting 10 become void.
Word was received yesterday that Joe
Thompson, the Australian book maker, who
proposes TO establish a new race-track at
this city. will arrive here on Sunday morn
