The majority OF the two and three
year olds are entered i'll the colt stakes
to be trotted at the next blue ribbon
fair in this city. Ira Woolsey is hand
some colt, and if looks are any criterion,
should be a trotter. Woolsey is being
logged in the expectation OF giving him
low mark. Woolsey is full brother
to Sunol, 2:1OT, California queen, and,
unless am in error, is the only brother
now owned in California.
II. .. DCuutJS, tIic ScHCicIudil WHO uc-
velops the youngsters bred at Abdallah
park, Cynthiana, KY, and who is now
handling the strings of w. III. Wilson
and DIR. X. ID. Wise, at the Agricultural
park, is great admirer of Simmons, the
sensational young son of the celebrated
George Wilkes. "His get, ON an average,
are more symmetrical than any other
sire that ever came undermy notice, and
they are race horses into the bargain"
enthusiastically remarked Mr. Schultz
to a HERALD man. Tho breeders of Los
Angeles county have been fortunate in
securing so much Simmons blood. Out
side OF Semmocolon and Bon Bon, all the
sons and daughters of Simmons in Cali
fornia are owned in this county. The
importation OF Gossiper by Charles Dur
fee paved the way for the Simmons stock.
West Wilkes is being prepared for the
2:28 class, to be trotted at the spring
meeting Of the Los Angeles Racing asso-
citation. This Kentucky stallion is a
resolute and game trotter, and last week
reeled off quarter in 341s. West
Wilkes is trif1e small, but is wonder
fully shapely little fellow, and is built
from the ground up. 1t is to be hoped
that Mr.. Wilson will consent to let West
Wilkes and Greenleaf remain in Callfor-
MIA to make the campaign of 1891.
I spent an hour the other night in
wading through the 2 80 list for 1890.
1t is the biggest list on record. find
that fifty-seven OF the new comers hailed
from California and that the following
seven made their records over the Agri-
cultural park track in this city:

AMONG THE GALLoPERs.
The Kentucky Live Stock Record
recently prepared table OF thorough
bred stations, who sired one or more
winners Of 5000 during the season of
1890. There are seventy-one such stall
lions in all. Imported st. Blaise heads
the list. Grinstead, the old Santa
list, with $42, ,489 to his credit, OF which
Sinaloa won $27,374. The untimely
death OF Sinaloa was hard knock to
the prospects of the Santa Anita stable
for 1891. / have watched the Grinsteads
with more than ordinary interest and it
was my opinion that, had Sinaloa lived,
she would have been queen of the turf
in 1891. Let any one look up the
records OF the Grinsteads, and they will
notice the marked improvement they
invariably make from season to season.
Geraldine was muchsgreater four-year-
old than she was a three-year-old. 1t
was the same with Volante. Who then
could predict what great race mare
Sinaloa might have been?
1 am afraid that Fairy is hors du
combat, won't be able to tell any
thing about her for three or rfourweeks,"
said Billy Appleby, the trainer, to the
writer. II have blistered Fairy.
Odette and the 2-year-olds Arnica and
Hinda Dwyer." Billy Appleby is the
king pin doctor among the trainers, and
there is no telling how he will get Fairy
out OF the hospital. Odette is q sample
of his skill. Billy Gardner has let up
on the western division of the Rose run
ners. This string will take in the Cali
fornia circuit, and there are some hum
mers among the 2-year-olds..
The clever writer Of Post and Paddock
in the New York Spirit of the Times
has prepared an experimental handicap
for the suburban. He puts the top
weight ON Kingston. On public per-
formances, rather think the great
Tenny should be asked to carry the
heaviest weight, and I will wager
trifie that the official handicap will give
the son Of Rayon dor the top weight
Nous verron.
THE DOG KINGDOM.
8 Quite number of dog men have
evinced q desire to see the Chesapeake
Bay dogs recently imported by Dick
Mcknight from Maryland, mention Of
which was made in the HERALD the
morning after their arrival. The dogs
are now domiciled at Long Beach. A
writerin the last issue of The Weeks
Sport pays the following compliment to
the Chesapeake Bay dog: A water
spaniel is a good duck retriever, but if
were to have but one dog for wild fowl
shooting, should choose Chesapeake
Bay dog, for this breed is certainly the
spaniel's superior. He can go in colder
water than the spaniel can stand, can
swim against q strong current and in
water filed with floating ice. Besides,
he is stronger and bigger than the water
spaniel, is Of better color, and can stand
harder work in every sense. / have
