J. G. Newton will preside in the
Judges stand at the coming meeting.
This appointment meets with popular
approval. Mr.. Newton is thoroughly
competent and his integrity is unques-
toned. Every horseman knows that he
will get square deal with Mr.. Newton
in the stand, and the public can rest
assured that their interests will be
guarded.
The directors have made brilliant
coup by securing the race between
Wanda, Silas Skinner, Frank M. and
Mckinney. The race is go and the
northern people have telegraphed their
acceptance of the terms. The purse for
this great four-cornered race is $500.
No such race was ever made before in
this state. Horsemen all agree that
four better matched horses, of such q
high rate of speed, never before came to-
gether in America. The fastest four
horses to show OH the California circuit
this wear were Wanda, Silas Skinner,
Frank M. and Mckinney. The three
former have met twice this season. At
Sacramento, Silas Skinner won after a
grand contest. Frank M. won the sec
ond heat. Wanda was the favorite be-
fore the race. The Montana delegation
lost thousands of dollars on the race.
No less than $40 900 went into the pool
box. The people from far away Mon
tana recently got their revenge at San
Francisco. Frank M. won in straight
heats. At Santa Rosa and Stockton,
Wanda beat Silas Skinner. The trio
are so we'll matched that the best con-
ditioned horse oD the day of the race
will land the prize. Mckinney has
never met the northern horses, but the
people who have watched the record of
this great four-year-old this season know
that he will give them horse race.

The policy of presenting strong and
attractive programme was found to be a
success at the blue ribbon meeting last
August. The attendance on the open
ing day was the best of the week. This
year the opening day will be far ahead
of the one last year, and the 2 20 trot
should alone draw five thousand specta-
tors. Mckinney is in grand fettle and
SO is Lizzie F. Lucy R. is liable to be
the surprise party of the race.
She can trot fast trials, but she
does not act well in company.
Glendine will make any and all of them
trot below 2; 20.
Mr.. Newton's Alcazar colt Fabius is a
little off, and will not be started. This
is great disappointment, as the shapely
son of Alcazar and Echo Belle was doing
splendidly. Redondo, Thera and Eta
Wilkes will be the starters in the colt
stakes.
Secretary Benjamin announces the
following weights for the two big handi-
caps:
Southern California handicap John
Treat 119, Perrigrine ia, Ell Rayo 106,
Gambo 104, Gladiator 90, Zingarella So,
and Washington Bartlett So pounds.
Citrus Belt handicap: John Treat III
Moses B. liz. Sinfax los and Gladi-
ator 98.

The board of directors meet this after
noon. If Silkwood can be secured a
sensational pacing race is very liable to
be arranged. Rupee, Hummer and Turk
Franklin will come down. j. Willetts,
the owner OF Silkwood, has been tele-
graphed, and if favorable answer is
received this morning the race will be
made up. 1t is to be hoped that the
owner of Silkwood will enter against
these northern horses, to uphold the
prestige of Southern California. Silk
wood, Rupee, Turk Franklin and Hum.
mer would make neat race.
