Winter Rscing Dates
Next Saturday, if the fall rains hold off,
there will be some very interesting trottiug
at the Bay District track, under the auspices
of the Trotting-horse Breeders Associa-
ton. Sunol, Palo Alto, Stamboul and some
of the other cracks will be sent to lower their
records, and if the conditions are favorable,
the trainers of the flyers say that they will
surely succeed. A race between such good
ones as Mary Lou, Emma Temple, Maggie
E. Lee and Charles Derby is also arranged
for the same day, and should result in fine
contest.
The cool weather of the past few days
has not been favorable for fast work at the
track by the horses that are to 90 next Sat
urday. but still they are in fine order and
will only need little more sharpening to
put wire edge on them.
THE BAY DISTRICT TRACK.
The track itself is improving every day
and the opinion is unanimous that by next
Saturday it will be in faster condition than
ever before and superior to any course in
the State.
SALVADOR AND FIRENZI.
John Mackey, Superintendent of j. 3.
Haggin's Rancho del Paso Stock Farm, was
expected back from the East yesterday with
the noted flyers. Salvador and FlrenZi. Sal
Vator will 60 into the stud at once, but 1t Is
not entirely settled yet that FirenZl will as
sumo matronly duties this year. She may
be only well rested up and then sent back
East again next year to compete in the big
Eastern events. The rumor was circulated
quite freely the past summer that j. b.
Haggin had decided to retire from racing
altogether and cOnfine himself solely to
breeding runners for sale. As, however.
the latest Eastern advices state that he has
signed Pike Barnes and Isaac Murphy
to ride for him next year, it is possible that
he has reconsidered his determination to
retire from racing.
WHEN THE ODDS SUIT.
Barnes is riding new at the Nashville
esmeeting aud when the odds are right wins Il
Trace or two. He will not ride. it is report
ed. for E. j. Baldwin again, and when that
astute horstman returns from the East it
will be interesting to ascertain his opinion
about Barnes,
PHoToGRAPHING FINISHES.

for his especial use and benefit. In cases of
n close finish he will thus be enabled TO pro-
duce it on plate in something like five to
eight minutes. The following day The de-
yeloped pictures viii be exhibited where
every patron of the course can see them in a
frame. This plan is expected to do away
with all complaints against future judicial
decisions.
