CALIFORNIA YOUNGSTERS DE-
LAYED. ON THEIR TRIP.
The Rosemeade Contingent Sidstracked
at Barstow-Entries for the Blue Rib
bon Meeting.

bon Meeting.
The chances are that the Rosemeade
consignment of trotters for the great
sale of California stock at New York,
will not reach their destination on the
day set for the sale, which was Wednes-
day March 4th.
The car containing the Rose trotters
left Los Angeles last Sunday and reached
Victor in safety, but the constant down.
pour played havoc with the track. Mr..
Rose telegraphed to Los Angeles that
his carload was sidetracked. Since then
word has reached here that by walking
the colts and fillies distance OF eight
miles, that Barstow was made and it
was confidently expected that the car
load OF trotters would leave Barstow
some time yesterday. At all events, it
will be next to Impossible to have the
sale on Wednesday. The delay will
doubtless interfere with the prices rea-
lized. The highly bred young stallion
by Stamboul, 2:11, out Of Minnehaha,
is on the car. Ii the youngster reaches
his destination all right, it is confidently
expected that he will sell anyway from
5000 to $25, 900. The carload is valued
from $25 900 to SAC, 1000.
George II. Reed sent on two Alcazar
fillies with the Rose consignment. and
he is anxiously waiting to hear Of their
departure from the blockaded point.
M. w. Stimson, the Los Angeles
banker, had also arranged for the sale of
a carload of California fillies, the get of
Stamboul, Alcazar, Junio, Woolsey, Del
Sur, Judge Salisbury, Pasha. and
Nephew. The sale Of this carload was
set for Thursday, March 9th, but upon
receipt of the intelligence that the
Rosemeade consignment had been side
tracked, Mr.. Stimson telegraphed to
have the sale of his carload postponed
for couple of weeks.

AT THE TRACK.
1t will we'll pay any lover OF fine horse
flesh to spend few hours at the race
track. A HERALD reporter recently
went there and saw few of the fleet
footed equines preparing for the March
races.
Jacob Clarity, the well-known driver
of fast horses, was seen, and kindly con-
sented to show the reporter the more
celebrated occupants OF some of the
stalls.
The first animal seen was the gray
gelding Rocky Mountain Tom, who is q
rather heavy looking animal, with Q
March March races, and Is the property of San In
ford Johnson.
St. Patrick, the property OF Joe Mulla
ley, is another gray gelding, by Rich.
mond. He is green horse yet, but is
expected to be very fast.
Another gray gelding is Mr.. Thomas Is
PAGER, entered in the March races in the
80 class.
Martin Aguirre's Geronimo and Mayor
Hazards Don Tomaso are both stabbed
here, and look in prime condition.
MI. Clarity then modestly showed {
few of his own horses. among which are
Humming, beautiful looking 4-year-olc
chestnut stallion, by Sidney, dam Hum
ming Bird. Humming has trial rec
ord of 2 20. He will stand the season
at the track.
Hummer, Silkwood's rival at the las
races, is chestnut gelding with recort
OF 181s in the 4syear-old class, and is
full brother to Humming.
Sunrise is chestnut 6-year-old maj e
with record of 2 ~. She is by Mon
tana Regent.
A 2-year-old chestnut filly, by Valen
sin, dam Humming Bird, is another O
Mr.. Garrity's fine looking animals.
If Mr.. Garrity is prouder Of one ami
NAL more than another, it is his pet Ma
G., yearling flly by Charlie Durfee'
princely looking stallion Gossiper. He
dam is Garrity's Sunrise.
May G. is expected to do wonders
and if looks and breeding count for any
thing, Garrity's expectations are yer
liable to be realized.
Anumber of other well-known animal
with good records were shown, and tn
readers of the HERALD will hear abou
them in the near future.
