LOWERING A RECORD.
Another record was lowered last week
when Tristan with rs pounds uD beat Ten
ny carrying $50 pounds in the Metropolitan
handicap at Morris Park in 1:51A Teuton
formerly held the mark at :5294, made IN
1890 with 1l3 pounds up. Tristan inverted

Speaking Of the two and thTee-yeaT-OldS
meetings recently the Spirit OF the Times
cores pOudent says:
Huron is the acknowledged king Of the
tWO-yedT-oldS in the West. But it ought TO
be mentioned that the crop Of good ones is
very limited indeed, more limited, / think,
than in any season in number of years.
Nightman and German probably come next
TO Huron, but German, although a real
good colt for his inches (he is smalD, has no
business in a race with Huron. Maybe there

give Huron a race, but they are certainly
not to be found in the West.
q Neither is the crop Of three ear-Olds in
the West Of the most formidable or numer-
Gus kind, and l am not sure that there is
strictly firs t-class one among them-nO Luke
Blackburn or George Kinney. Kjngman's
four victories this spring stamp him as
very good, game colt, but he is hardly a
Luke Blackburn. Semper Fidele won the
triple event to-day in very easy fashion,
and while she Is a fast FLY, the best Of her
age in the West she is still hardly a Miss
WoodfoId. Michael very nearly classes with
Kingman, but outside of the three named,
there is nothing to attract special attention
ont this way, since Palestine has not yet
started this season"
THE STATE FAIR.
The State Agricultural Society has pub
lished the running section OF the fall racing
programme to be decided in September next
at the State Fair at Sacramento. 1t pre-
sents the best inducements ever offered be-
fore TO owners of thOrOughbTeds, and the
racing all through, both running and trOt-
ting, should be the most interesting Of any
yet had by the society. The entries close on
August Ist. There will be five days of run
ming events and six will be devoted to the
trOtters. The first running day is Septem-
Der 9Th and the following dates are the 18th,
I4th, 10th and 18th.
CONTROLLING THE STARTER.
a correspondent in the Turf, Field and
Farm, speaking Of troubles at the starting
post, says:
"The personal feeling existing between
the starter and Bergen or any one else, is
matter of utter indifference to me; but l.
for one, want to see and hear no abuse and
prejudice allowed at the post; 60 see
starter fined as quickly and severely for
insulting boy, as if the case were reversed;
to see fines inflicted on that official In the
case OF careless Sead-off with celebrity and
severity: to bring about in his miEd a real
iEatiOn that, while he is peTfOrce monarch
Of all he surveys up to certain point, he Is
not a despOt, nor yet tin-god-On- wheels.
81 hope the Board of Control will take
up and sift this matter to the very bottom,
going hack more tilan one year or two years
to do it, and then apply sharp correction,
no matter who gets hurt. Racing hereabout
is in critical state in more ways than one,
and ii must be as like TO Cesar's wife as
may be. if it is to live and flourish"
The idea as to holding the starter re-
spOnsible for bad starts is an excellent one,
and should be fully considered by the Board
of Control. Jockeys, trainers and owners
are under certain stringent rules of the
board now, but the starter is practically his
own board He can make any horse win or
lose if he chooses, and as he gets the enOr-
nous salary in the East Of from 500 to $500
a day, there IS nc reason why he should not
be fined when he does not do his work sat
isfact0riy.
NO CHARGE TO SEE sUNOL.
A recent visitor to Polo Alto says that
SunOl has been given few miles in 2:33.
There is considerable discuss on as to the
exact plans that have been outlined for the
great fily this year. News comes from
New York on trustworthy authority that
