A TOUR AMONG THE STABLES AT
AGRICULTURAL PARK.
Something About L. j. Roses New
Toupgsters-Matt.S Storms Pets-Con-
ditioping for the State Fair.

4 Matt. Storm, the well-known local horse
man, was overhauled by RECORD UNION
reporter yesterday on K street.
Just came back from the bay" said he,
in answer to the scribe's question. II
started down to the Napa fair with my
racers, but found the track in such poor
condition that concluded not to risk any
of my horses upon it, and so came home
again. / am getting them ready now for
the Oakland races, and also the State Fair
events
"Many horses being conditioned out at
the park for the State Fair?n asked the re-
porter.
Eyes, quite number. A great many of
them, however, are going to Oakland first,
like my own. But, by the way. Pm going
out to Agricultural Park now to look after
my racers. Don't you want to come
along?"
The reporter did, and the first red bob
tail that came along bore them out to the
little city of stables.
GRAND MARE.
1t was busy scene among the stables.
Holsters, trainers, Jockeys and rubbers were
all at work, and several prominent owners
were there giving orders to their men.
Lets take a walk around and I'll show
you some of the horses" suggested Mr.
Storm.
Mr.. Waters stable was the first inspected,
and fortunately Mr.. Waters, genial and
pleasant, was present.. He explained that
he only had couple of racers with him
just then, but they were good ones, and he
had no objection to the reporter inspecting
them. Opening the first box-stall he
showed four-year- old beauty whom he
has not yet named. He is full brother to
| the now celebrated runner Al Farrow, mis-
| sire being Albatross He looks full of
| speed and may some day-and pretty soon,
| too-add more fame to his family's record.
Mr.. Waters other colt was the handsome
two year-old Altus, dam Della Walker, By
Billy Bolinger, by Woodburn.
What do you call this ?" asked the re-
porter, pointing to an old white mare, who
stood outside near the water trough lazily
switching the flies off with her tall
Evidently you don't consider this very
good STOCK" said Mr.. Waters, stepping
over to the old mare and patting her low
ingly. This, sir, is one of the grandest
dams in these parts. This is Della Walker,
the mother of AL Farrow and some more
fine runners. She was sired by Rifeman,
and she's very highly bred, l can assure
YOU
The reporter felt somewhat abashed for
being so ignorant and apologlzed.
LII. ROSES FLYERS.
Hello, Billy" shouted Mr.. Storm, sud-
denly grasping the hand of a gentleman
who had just emerged from an adjoining
stable. When did you get homer"
Cd IL
horses are all in fine condition. particularly
the new colts that Mr.. Rose purchased in
the East"
The gentleman was introduced to the
newspaper man as Mr.. Gardner, head man
of l.. J. Roses stable. The stable had Just
returned from the Eastern races, and Mr..
Gardner said some of the flyers would be
conditioned for theState Fair and fall Blood
Horse events after taking rest. He
readily consented to show the visitors |
about the stable.
we got in the East" said Mr.. Gardner,
opening the first stall reached. I'VE |
haven't named her yet. though. Her sire |
is st. Blaize and her dam Olitipa."
Mr.. Storm said he remembered Olitipa |
very we'll. She held the half-mile record |
for twelve years. II was at Saratoga and |
saw her make the record" said Mr.. Storm. |
ut was in 1874, and for twelve years no |
runner marred her record. She ran it in |
472 seconds" Porter Ashes. Geraldine |
reduced the half-mile record last year to As |
seconds.
Mr.. Gardner next showed the visitors |
another yearling FLY named Arniea. Size |
is by Sam Brown out of Belladonna, and is |
magniicently proportional animal. She |
will probably race this fall and promises to |
surprise somebody.
In the next stall was another of the new |
yearling fillies, and another fine one at |
that She was sired by Pat Molloy, the |
son of Lexington. She has not been named |
yet.
Here's daisy for you" said Mr.. Gard
ner, continuing down the line of stalls. |
This is really jewel"
He pointed to gentle-looking, pretty |
brown two-year- old filly. She looked a
racer ali over. The reporter became more
intensely interested in her, however, when
Mr.. Gardner informed him that she was
full sister to the famous Hanover. She is
one of Mr.. Roses Eastern purchases and
one in which he has great hopes. Her
sire is Hindoo, dam Belle Bourbon.
Conrad, the two-year-old stallion, who
did good work for the stable in the East,
looked hale and showed little signs of
fatigue from the long journey over the con-
tinent Conrad is by Flood, out of Goula.
He will be seen at the State Fair races.
Fairy, the handsome little two-year- old,
who also did noble work in the East, was
there, too. She has grown considerably
since her last appearance on the local track.
The sire of Fairy is Argyle by Monday, by
Kisber, and her dam is Fairy Rose.
RICO LOOKS WELL.
The three year-old horse Rico, another
of Mr. Roses "reliables" during the East
ern circuit looked as sound as dollar, and
did not appear to have suffered any from
| the Eastern campaign nor the ride home.
Rico is one of the prides OF the stable. He
| is by Shannon, out of Fannie Lewis, who
was sired by imported Buckston, sire of
| the dam of Bishop. Bishop is the sire of
Governor Stanford's famous Racine. So il
will be seen that Rico belongs to family
of good sprinters. While Rico was in the
East this summer Mr.. Pulsifer, the owner
| of Tenny, took great ''shine" to him, and
| tried hard to get Mr.. Rose to part with
| him. Big money was offered, but Mr.
Rose declined to sell.
| The party passed to the next stall, where
stood a magnifcent-looking two-year-old
| filly, black as q coal and grand in proper
tions. She has not been named yet, and
was purchased in the East recently, along
with the sister OF Hanover, previously
mentioned. She is a full sister to Jim Gore,
who was by Hindoo. Mr.. Gardner says
| this FLY is an unknown quantity, and is
being watched closely. She is without
| doubt very promising youngster.
"Well, here is the end of our string" said
Mr.. Gardner, opening the last stall. Min
net, by Rheindor, dam Reel Dance, by War
Dance, Lexington stallion, is a good mare,
with plenty OF speed, but not as fast as her
stable companion, Fairy.
