Charlie and Salma, but chiefly on the
ground that he was California horse.
NOT \ CALIFORNIAN.
While Salvador is admittedly the horse Of
the year and possibly of the century, he is
not a representative California animal. lie
was not bred or born in California, but IN
Kentucky, and has never breathed Call-
fornia air. His sire was not even American,
but an English imported horse. lie was
not trained by a Californian, nor was he
ridden by California jockey Neither is
his owner. j. B. HaggD, Californian in
any other way than that he owns much real
estate on the Coast. Salvador is not at all
Californian, though it suited the local
writers to claim him as such. They ex-
penued so much Of their stock of praise
that when, as happened last week, dis
tinctly bred raised, owned, trained and
ridden California horses won, they had no
words left to make merely more than
few passing remarks on the subject.
GENUINE CALIFoRNIANS.
During the week true-born California
horses have swept the board. Such as
Fairy. AlmOnt, Clio, Riniax, Al Farrow
and LongshOt. And Native Sons OF the
Golden West jockeys have ridden them IKE

but is in distin ctively Californian training
hands.
CALIFORNIAN VICTORIES.
The victories of the above-named fierS
can be truly called Californian. The Paio
Alto bred and owned RintaX, leased to
the Undine stable, has been tine most
promi nent of the California colts the
past week. When the colt ran at
the Coast spring meetings he won
al
bat was nowhere 10 Fairy and Homer.
He was then strapDing big youngster but
seemed to need time to mature, and as
. mentioned in The CALL reports of the
spring meetings, one that would be heard
from toward the fall. Not over month
ago he was shipped to the Undine stable
from this Coast, he having been bought by
the owners of the stable for 5000 from the
Palo Alto Stock Farm, He started IN SIX
furlong race at Chicago on Thursday and
beat fair field of two-year-olds very easily
II 1914.
RINFAX WON EASILY.
On Saturday. with us pounds up and lit

richest twO-yeaT-old stake OF the meeting
10 the credit of the stable, winning the
valuable Friendly stakes (the first runnlngl
with lis pounds up il !; zoo over nYe 1ur-
lungs. Rinfax made all the running and
won by six lengths from his stable COM
paniOn Homer, another distinctly California
colt. Eighteen started in the race and 1t
was kinfaX all the way. The track was very
heavy. In the betting RinfaX and Homer
coupled were to 8, and in single prices
Homer was and RinfaX shade better.
RICH STAKE.
The list of entries at $50 each half for
felt with 5000 added, made to the Chicago
Secretary numbered 1872, and to the Coney
Island Jockey Club Secretary, where the
second running OF the stake takes place at
the autumn meeting, numbered l29 m re,
making a total number of entries OF 26l.
Should Rinfax also win the second running
$1,000 additional will be added. The second
running will be over the Futurity course.
WILL MEET BETTER ONES.
Riniax met the best colts in the West and
defeated them easily enough last week, but
when he gets East he Will have to 90 against
a much better class. Then he Will meet
'Strathmeath and the rest OF the Morris
cracks, Russell excepted, BoleTO, La TOsca,
Fritz and the pick OF the RancOcas, Withers
and other stables.
RACINE, THE CRACK.
Racine, another distinctive Californian, is
acknowledged the crack three-year-old at
Chicago, and now that Burlington is laid
UP for repairs, should be the superior of
any in the East. Unfortunately he is not in
a single stake event and all he can 90 in at
:. present is overweight purses.
FLA0GBEAU Is FASTER.
1t will be remembered that it has always
been considered in THE CALLS racing
columns that Flambeau was better colt
than Racine, and the present trainer of
Racine, Mccormick of the Undine stable,
has this to say in continuation OF that
opinion:
Is it True that Flambeau can best Racine
alter going mile ?" was asked of Trainer Nc
Cormlck, who answered: " Yes; he can beat
Inn after gong mile. and any part OF the road
before gong mite, and do u easily. mats The
END OF a horse FlaIn0eau Is"
This makes Flambeau's present retire
ment all the more Disappointing
FLAMBEAU's LUCK.
However, as Elan beau was this spring
leased TO the Hearst stable, and would, in
all probability. have been handled by Mat
Allen, that. had he not gone wrong, he GER
talnly would have been so messed about
that the colt would have been beaten every
time His retirement has undoubtedly
saved him from the disgrace OF many de-
feats. Had Billy Jonathan been given the
colt then the case would have been entirely
different, as Billy Jonathan knows his
business and Allen does not. Jonathan
with his string has won a number of good
races, while, SO far, Allen has only won two
all the year
NECESSARILY BEATEN.
By the way, of course Tournament was
necessarily beaten last Tuesday in the very
valuable Lorillard stakes by Torso. a colt
that he beat by thirty lengths in the Real
iZaiiOn. The Allen incapacity can always
be depended upon. If Allen and Jonathan
were TO change strings Jonathan would
win nearly everything he started for and
Allen lose every race.
" USLUCKY BALDWIN FILTERS.

meeting opened Clio has run three times.
winning al a mile in :43A with liz pounds
up, and running second with 10 up to Joe
Blackburn. This was last week.
MIKE KELLY CAN'T RIDE.
Whenever Nike Kelly or A. Mccarthy
rides Geraldine it is now accepted by the
racing public ON the Coast that she is not
TO win. The only time she wins is when
Taylor rides her. The New York Tribune
has tie following to say about Nike Kelly,
trainer for K. Porter Ashe:
If a subscription paper was passed around at
all the great Eastern race courses and Turimen
generally were asked 10 subscribe TO a handsome
testimonial TO Michael Kelly on condition that
lie would never ride Geraldine again. that worthy
and excellent young man would be enriched in a
few minutes by an enormous sum OF money
Last year Geraldine ran 10 twenty one races aud
won thirteen OF them, Kelly ran her OnlY once
III public ard then she was beaten. This year
Kelly, who managed Ashes stable, has been
more aspiring and ambitious. Geraldine has
run III eight races in 1890 and has won only one
OF Them, when she was hidden IN hue style by
Taylor. Kelly has ridden her in tour out of her
seven defeats. with all due respect TO key's
many excellent qualities, II may be respectfully
submitted that 10 a very lew human beings since
the world began has II been given TO excel both
as trainer and jockey at lie same time.
GARRISON RIDES FOR SCOTT.
Snapper Garrison has been engaged to
ride for w. l.. Scott and has signed a two
years contract at $4,000 year. He has
already won his salary twice over, Tor last
week lie Won the Lorllard and July stakes
on Torso, and Bolero respectively for his
new employer.
