TURF NOTES.
Entries for the San Jose Spring
Running Meeting.
Excellent Prospects for the Local Races-The
Bay District Track to Be Repaired.
Thompson Retires

A total Of $50 entries, outside Of the four
fixed stake events, which are also stated to
have large number Of eligible starters, is
an excellent showing for the success of the
Pacific Coast Blood-horse Association S
spring meeting, commencing on April 18th
at The Bay District Track. 1t is one of
which the Directors should feel very proud.
1t is the largest number of entries ever re-
ceived by the ASSOCIATION, though it must be
remembered that for the first time the asso-
citation essays the experiment of extending
its racing days to over two weeks. If
NJ essrs. Haggin and Baldwin could be in
duced TO make few entries, even if only to
have their colors represented on the track
simply through State pride, the public
would greatly appreciate such action.
EXCELLENT PROSPECTS.
However, no complaints can be made with
such excellent prospects for good racing at
the coming meeting. The entries closed
last Tuesday, the 10th. but owing TO the alb
sence of Secretary Culver at Sacramento,
where he is engaged in eecting United
States Senator. they are not yet ready for
publication.
INSTRUCTED TO GO AHEAD.
At their meeting last Saturday the Di-
rectors instructed the Track Committee to
go ahead and repair the Bay District Track
and put it. in perfect order. The main eX-
peuse will be the repairing of the fencing
around the track, which is in an extremely
dilapitated condition. Over one-half of it is
lying fiat on the ground, blown down by the
recent heavy storms When it is said that
One-half of the fencing is lying on the
ground, that which has been carried away
by tn rfty householders for firewoOd is ex-
cepted. Some contractors who happened
casually to visit the track the other day
thought that $1,000 will not cover the cost
of repairing the fencing alone.

SUBSTITUTED EVENTS.
In place of the three events that did not

trance, 5000 added; seven fuIlongs.
No. 8 Cliff House SIake-For all ages; S25 en-
trance, 5000 added; six furlOngs

KillIp IL Co. were given the pool-Selling
privileges at TO per cent OF the commission
on the gross amount of pools sold. There
will be no b00k-making at the meeting,
though probably there will be Paris mu-
tuals in operation. The whrr Of the wheel
will also doubtless be heard.
NOT MANY NEW ONES.
. In looking over the entries it will be seen
that there are none from Palo Alto or
Hearst stables this year, though they were
represented at the meeting last year. There
are but few new names on the list outside
Of the two two-year- old events, and in these
the same entries are made in both and their
number is only six. The association, de-
spite its experience of last year, has placed
one half-mile and one five furlong heats sell
ing race on its programme, in which most of
the old Coast veteran sprinters are entered.
ENGLISH RACING.
Flat racing in England begins with the
opening Of tho Lincoln meeting, March
nln N Ia Z 90
place the same week. The Lincolnshire
handicap is the great feature at the first
named meeting aud the Grand National
steeplechase at Liverpool.

Ever since the proposition to cut down
the distance CT the Kentucky Derby was
mooted, the whole tenor of opinion has been
against it. A Derby at a mile and a quarter
can hardly be called a Derby, and it IS good
news to hear that the Kentucky Derbies of
the future will be run, as OF old, at the time
b0nored distance OF mile and half.
Pete Dornalech has Naich0 b, Dan Muir
ply, Zingerella, Hockhocking Jr. and
Grinstead-Pele colt in training at Santa
Ana. He expects to take in most of the
California spring meetings.
NO LOCAL FUTURE BOOKS
The local book-makers have decided not
to open any future books on either the
Brooklyn or Suburban handicaps As long
as they can keep the public's money chang
ing hands daily on the crooked winter rae
ing in the East they do not care to see it
tied mp In uaarly of,
