A BRANCH ROAD.
ANTI-POOL BILL.
Senator Campbell Introduces One in the

Legislature.
The present prospects for Il new race
track being built near this city do not, at
the moment, look particularly bright. The
Market-street extension line will probably
intersect the much talked-about track on
the Ocean House location, and this will
cause either radical change in the pro-
posed plans or else another hunt for a site
Tue railroad people, too, are a little ''back-
ward in coming forward and agreeing to
afford transportation facilities, and alto
gether it looks as if the Australian pro-
moter of the scheme had bitten off more than
lie can masticate.
The first fOals of the year that have
been dropped at Palo Alto are two filles.
one by Flora-imp. Amelia, and the other
by imp. Cyrus-imp. Getaway.
Coral is said to be the best of the new
possibilities of Palo Altos trOtting division.
She is said TO be not only fast but game and
reliable If she is right 2:11 or better is
thought TO be her notch. Coral is by Flee
tioneer-Columbus and is full sister to
Anteeo and Antevolo. Upto now her pub
lie record is 2:25. but it is said that it is
only her exercise mark at the ranch.
Sunol and Palo Alto are still being josgei
slowly at Palo Alto to keep them in order
for early training in the spring. Possibly
Marvin may conclude not to go East at all
this year with the several cracks and
content himself with sweeping the local
board.
