THE JUDICIoUs HAZLETT.
Tom Hazlett's Golden Gate stable, con-
sisting of nine runners, all welI-known
local horses, whose movements at Chicago
lave been watched with much interest by

Park last Saturday. Tom has some good

with the management OF the Baldwin stable

Ia The CALLS turf columns ever sincelast

Ito the more than suspicious riding of

less strong and immediate measures are

THREE GOOD ONES.
: The picks of the Baldwin string now are
SAID to be Salvador, Santiago and Esperan-
=. "a All are said to be equal to the best that
r have shown up this year, bar none. If
Barnes is upon them, however, great eau

their chances Of winning. Bob Campbell is

fipv think that with the enormous per-
ceatage already against the local speculat-
ors the least the b0okmakers could
do would be to give track odds, espe-
cIally on outside chances. At the
track in races where sometimes from u

THE BooKIEs' SOFT SNAP.

have the s0ftest thing on earth, and they
are pretty nearly right. Most OF them,

years ago. had absolutely nothing but

PooL-RooMs AND PLEDGES.
In talking of the local pool-rooms, it may
- be stated that all the respectable political
element is united on the proposition that

ago, all the fine work against the bills was
done, and where they were neatly and
quietly killed.
IN A WEEK.
To-day week the local horse-raeing cir
cult begins at Los Angeles and lone.
At the former place the money to
be raced for amounts to $4,000. There
are two events alone for the runners
in which $1,000 is added to each race.
The clash, however, at lone will de-
crease the number Of runners that will be
at Los Angeles, and with the San Jose
meeting opening on the following week
hardly any-in fact none-of the local tret-
ting division will be at Los Angeles. How
ever the southern division has plenty OF
material to make up some good helds, and
a pleasant weeks sport seems assured.
MAY RACE ELSEWHERE.
