Blood Horse Meeting Facts About
Baldwin, Is Latest Purchase.
Sporting matters are at standstill al
present. Next month and thereafter
for six months there will be plenty Of
sporting news to chronicle. The east
ern string Of the Rose stable will leave
for Brooklyn in about ten days. Billy
Appleby worked out most of his string
on Saturday, and at noon on the same
day told HERALD writer that he was
ready to ship at a days notice. Rico
and Odette ran slashing good mile,
the former just getting the verdict from
the Shiloh mare. Fairy is apparently
as sound as dollar, notwithstanding
that she showed up so lame when first
taken up this season. She worked out
q mile on Saturday in very creditable
time. California will be we'll repre-
sented in the 3-year-old stakes for fiilies
by Fairy and Esperanza.

Billy Gardner will start Tor San Fran
CISCO WITT the Rose western string
about April 9th. The Rose entries at
the coming Blood Horse meeting at San
Francisco, are Conrad, Peri, Blanca, Bon
Voyage, Leola, Barbara and Muiatto.
After the Blood Horse meeting, this
string will leave for Chicago. Conrad
pulled up lame the other day. 1t is
thought to be only temporary; never
theless, it will initiate against his
chances in the Pacific Derby to be run
next month. Reports reach here that
Rinfax is in grand form, and promises
to be one of the great three-year-olds Of
the year.
The Blood Horse races have filled
eplendidly. Southern California is we'll
represented. In addition to the Rose
horses, the following are entered: Tin
gerella, Hockhocking, Jr., Dan Murphy,
John Treat, Centenella and Naicho B.
The latter horse is entered in the Burns
handicap, one and three-quarters miles.

A table of the number OF stakes won
in 1890 by representatives of the various
states is now going the rounds. OF the
81 stakes run in America, Kentucky
bred horses won 1856, California is sec
ond with II, and Pennsylvania third with
n. The article, which was first given
to the world in Kentucky paper,
winds up as follows:
"The showing made in Kentucky last
year is as remarkable as the increase in
the number of these valuable races, and
proves conclusively that her soil for the
breeding and rearing of the high grade
racer knows no rival"
The table is incomplete. The number
OF starts of the California and Kentucky
horses should be given. 1t is safe to
assert that Kentucky started ten to one
from the golden state. Take an aver
age and one will find that Kentucky
would have to play second fiddle to Cal
ifornia.
Many improvements have been made
at Wiseburn, the new breeding farm re-
Gently founded by Mr.. X. D. Wise, of
Los Angeles. Wiseburn is situated about
nine miles from Los Angeles on the Re-
dOndo Beach railroad, and / am in
formed that $25 900 has already been ex-
pended in stables aud improvements.
The doctor thinks that he has the finest
track located on any breeding farm in
California. 1t is a three-quarter mile
track, and is covered with four inches of
a sandy clay. II will breed my best
mares to Glendine," remarked DR.. Wise
last evening. 81 am confident that, bar
accidents, Mr.. Connolly will give the
son of Judge Salisbury mark OF 2 :18or
better this year. Last year, as a 4-year-
old, Glendine won a race handiiy in
2:231s. Mr.. Murphy, who visited the
track last week with Mr.. Pulsifer, pro-
nounced him the finest stallion he had
yet seen in California.

The brood mares now domiciled at
Wiseburn are Tempest by sultan; Semi
Tropic, 2 IA, by Sultan; Kitty Benton

Wiseburn are Glendine, Rajah and Emin
Bey. The latter is three-year-old by
Guy Wilkes out of Tempest by Sultan.
he gives every promise OF being very
speedy. DIR. Wise is we'll informed on
all trotting matters, and will undoubt-
edly make a success of his new venture.

Regarding the purchase of the Au-
stralian stallion for, Santa Anita, the
Breeder and Sportsman says editorially !:
The purchase of that handsome old
thoroughbred sire, The Hook, by Mr.. E..
J. Baldwin, for the Santa Anita rancho,
is another link in the progress of Los
Angeles county as breeding section OF
this state. The quality of the Santa
Anita mares has always been Of the type
of Veuve Cliquot wine, and Cinto de
Orion cigars. But the Santa Anita mares
are growing old and the most famous
one, Maggie Emerson, (dam of Sinaloa,
Bonito and that brilliant cup horse
Lucky b. is dead. Mr.. Baldwin is a
firm believer in greatness through
female lines and, in purchasing this old
Australian horse, he has done so with
the sole desire of getting new mares to
breed to that marvellous performer, the
Emperor Of Norfolk. II The Hooks
male progeny perform we'll, then good
enough. But it is with the idea of get
ting fillies possessing the blood of Juliet,
the greatest brood mare ever taken to
Australia from England, when you CO me
to regard her as a founder Of families.
