FLYING FAIRY's CHANcE.

the Suburban next month, ran at Louis
vile during the week and was easily de-
feated.
FLYING FAIRY's CHANCE.
Tomorrow, Fairy, the California crack
two-year-old FLY, that ran and won at the
Bay District and Sacramento meeting this
spring VIII probably start in the Great
American stakes at Brooklyn with $4,000
guaranteed the winner. l.. j. Roses pet is
very fast, as her record shows, but whether
the trip to the East has impaired her
chances or not is as yet unknown. The
stable has started Peri and RoTer during
the past week, aud they were not even mem
TONED In the description OF the races they
ran in. With Fairy as fit and good as she
was here her chances of winning look very
rosy, especially if she is ridden by a good
jockey instead of Monaghan, the stable
jockey, VINO is now reported to be drinking
heavily. She will, however, come against
some of the crack Eastern flyers, and will
have to run to win.
HEARsT's WESTERN HORSES.
The western division Of the Hearst stable
under Billy DOnathan'S charge was in st.
Louis last week en- route To WeStcheSter.
On Saturday Manager George Van Gordon
wired jonathan to go at once to West
chester. Del Mar and AlmOnt of the string
are IN the Inch Toboggan Slide handicap,
SIX furlongs, to be run next Saturday and
may be heard FROM at the finish.
FEW QUERIES.
How about the park speed-track? Unless
it is reclayed it will be absolutely useless
Tor the purposes 1t was intended for 1t
Will cost some $500 to properly do this
and this sum viii have to come out of the
pockets OF those who have already so gen.
erously paid the expenses of laying out and
preparing the track, as it is understood
that the Park Commissioners will not eX-
| pend the money.
Also how about the Bay District Track?
When Will 1t be cut up into building lots?
When it is, where will the local races be
heldp Everybody seems to be in complete
ignorance of these points and it is quite
possible that by next fall there will be no
track in the city to race on.
TIE TWO C's.
Cassius, in the same stable as Castaway,
| is in the Suburban ana won n good race at
| Brooklyn last week. His owners are tin
Iing him strongly for the event, and local
| books are full against him. He is in with
! only 103 pounds, ana the Beverwyck stable
may bring off the double event with the two
| C's.
To-day the Brooklyn Derby will be run.
| Some of the best three-year-ol ds East are
in 1t and Should make great race.
| FRESEo'S FALL MEETING.
The five special events for the Fresno fall
| meeting have closed with good number of
nominations, as follows: 2:20 class, trOt-
| ting, guarantee purse Of $500, nine nOmi-
nations. TrOttng, 2:24 class, purse $1,000,
| thirteen nominations. Pacing, 2:30 class,
| purse $1,000, thirteen nominators. Raisin
| handicap, running, $780, nine entries.
| One thousand-dollar purse, one and an
| eighth mile dash, eight nominations. The
| meeting Will be held from September Goth 20
| October 4th.
BOTH GONE WRONG.
The New York Spirit of the Times says
| that Gorge has broken down, and will not
| face the starter again. Also that Ell Rio
Rey, is certainly affected in his wind, and
| liable not to race again. A recent dis
| patch states that the entire stable will be
| shipped in day or two to Monmouth
| Park to be fitted for the Eastern engage
| menrs. The tour of the Western Circuit
has been abandoned, and probably means
| that the horses are not ready. 1t certainly
shows that FL Rio Rey will not race for a
long time at least, or else he would not
| come East when he has such valuable en-
| gagements as the American Derby at Chi
| cago.
VETERANS OF THE TURF.
In his career of nine Years on the turf
| Barnum has started 277 times and won so
| races. Little Minch, In nine years, has won
| 81 times out of 100 starts. Parole was on
| the turf ten years and won 50 out Of 1876
races. Old Hickory Jim has been raced
| for eleven years, and has won AZ times out
| OF 232 starts.
Eastern track feeling is strongly in favor
of only two-in-three heats for the faster
trotting classes.
Isaac Murphy has signed to ride for j. B.
| Haggin this year.
PaliSade, who won at Lexington recently
at mile in 1:42A, carrying 10 pounds, was
! last at the start and was timed from stand
to stand in Az.
LOCAL SATURDAY TRoTs.
Saturday matinee trotting races will be
| given at the Bay District track by Manager
Joe Hansen, if the public can be induced to
| patronize them. There are plenty of fast
horses at the track in good order and train
ers are willing to enter them
Roseland by Blue Ey is said to be the
best two-year-old that was shown at Lex
1ngtoa. Huntress WAS the best in the older
division. The mare is in great form now
and repeated her victories last week at Lex
ington.
