The meeting of such star and we'll
matched performers as Wanda, Silas
Skinner, Mckinney and Frank M. is an
event that does not occur every day.
The Los Angeles association distin-
guished itself in making such race.
The talent is all at sea in selecting a
winner. Every one of the four horses
has staunch supporters, and money
rolled into the pool box last night as it
never did before. II is estimated that
$50, 900 will be wagered on the race.
Frank M. was installed favorite in the
pools last night. Mckinney sold even
for some little time, but the rush for
Frank M. tickets dropped him to second
place. Betters were in attendance from
all over the state. The pool rooms were
jammed with people anxious to wager
money. The race will be on the dead
square.
The four best campaigners in the
state meet for the first time. Wanda
will be driven by Billy Voiget; Keating
will drive Frank NJ; McGraw will
handle the ribbons behind Silas Skin
ner, and Charley Durfee will drive Nc
Kinney. Give the northern horses a
good send-of when they appear on the
track. Mckinney will receive an ova-
ton when he gets on the track. The
game son of Alcyone has little the
worst of the race. He is only four
year old, yet he is to meet the best and
most seasoned campaigners in the state.
Many good judges think that none of
the northern horses have any license to
beat Mckinney. AT all events there
will be no lack of money to keep up the
Mckinney end. as the great four-year
old has host of supporters in Southern
California. Wanda is liable to do the |
trick in three straight heats, but if the
heats are split her chances will not |
be of the best. The horse that wins the
first heat will be installed big favorite.
1t is very liable to be Wanda. She has
plenty of speed and the fast and hard
track is to her liking. Silas Skinner is
the hardest horse in the race to
size up. When he is on an edge he is |
almost invincible. At the state fair the
son of Alcona, Jr., was in rare form and
defeated both Frank M. and Wanda af-
ter sensational race. Frank M. has
improved wonderfully since then and is
great horse today.
Thousands will see this great light
harness race, but all will not be able to
get good view. The grand stand has
been packed every day, so those who
cannot attend early will do well to
drive out, as they will be able to secure
a position where they will be able to see
the race from start to finish. The great
free-for-all trot will be called at 2 O'Clock
sharp. The judges, Messrs. Newton,
Brown and Kinds are determined to
have the race trotted out before night.
1t is expected that 1000 will go in
the pool box before the first heat is trot-
ted. Last night Frank M sold for $40
Mckinney $35, Silas Skinner $26, and
Wanda $22. If Frank M. does not win
the first heat there will be a big chop in
the betting. At the state fair, in the
race between Wanda, Frank M. and
Silas Skinner, every. one of this trio sold
