are all weI-furnished, rafting good young

a meeting of the Trotting-horse Breed
! ers' Association will be held this evening,
and one Of the main questions to be dis

| and Teservlng the fall meeting Tor records,
to be decided on the fastest track available
either that at Napa or the one. at San
Jose. If the association would wake up TO
the fact that the San Francisco public Is
very race hungry and take measures TO
satisfy tais appetite early in the year, the

largely enriched.
PARK SPEED-TRACK.
The Park Commissioners have recently
done considerable work on the speed track
and put it in excellent driving condition
All the sand chuck-hOles have been filled
up and covered with clay and now the
| track, instead of being a torture, IS mos
pleasant TO drive over.
Quite number III prominent horse-breed.
erS and owners expressed themselves yes
terdIy as being strongly in favor of such
legislation as would close up the pool rooms
in this city, provided that betting was per
mltted on races at the track. They claim
that the pQol-room betting is the craziest
kind of betting, with the odds 80 to l in favor
of the boOk-makers, and they stated that il
| their influence would assist the ant-pOol-
room bills now before the Legislature they
would most willingly give it.
GONE UP IN SMOKE.
As to Joe Thompsnu's scheme of locating
a race-track at the Ocean House tract tht
recent survey of the Spring Valley Water
COMPANY has knocked that into a cooked
hat If the street Is extended. The line oil
extension will intersect the proposed site
aud render it valuelesS. What Thompson
will do now, unless he goes down to CUlma
and locates there, is uncertain, but it looks
now aS If his plans for Il new track have al
gone up in smoke. When he came here
first he spoke so Rssuredly about his success
that 1t was thought he might succeed, but as
the matter now stands, lie seems to have
| boon left out in the cold At the meeting
tonight of the Blooi-horse Association
some new light may be shed on the sltua-
