have barred our best horse, Hazel Wilkes,
so we turned her out We had no place to
start Lillian Wilkes and so bred her to
Stamboul. Regal Wilkes is in the stud.
We did not think it good Judgment to give
him hasty preparation with view to
starting him in the 2:1S or 2:15 class with
aged horses. There is but little chance of
either of these classes filing. Owing to the
barring of Hazel Wilkes out OF the 2:20
class we had to enter Una Wilkes in her
place, although her record is but 2;25H
There are so few purses given in this State
that we must trot out of our class or get no
place to trot. Owing to this and the dis
elimination against our stock we are deter
termined TO follow Mr.. Sail bury's shoes
next year and 90 East. We have a fair lot
OF youngsters, but no aged horses, and as
many of them are well engaged East we
shall start only a few Of them here and re-
serve The rest for green classes another
o. year. We shall not work Freedom this sea-
son. He is now running out and will do so
until next winter. We do not lock for any
record-bTeakiHg this season in California.
We know that there will be none in our
stable"

known on the Coast.
RUNNING IN AND OUT.
The entire Chicago press is unanimous in
condemnng the inconsistent running of the
various stables at the present Washington
Park meeting, and the head lines of all their
turf articles alone express their views very
plainly. AS quite q large number of Cali
fornia horses are starting there, the criti-
cisms attract more than passing notice. The
Chicago papers now give q column daily
contrasting the performances of most Of the
prominent horses, and in This manner afford
ample opportunity for reflection. The fol-
lowing is sample: AT Washing tOu Park
on juno 25d, Verge dor, 122 lbs, beat
Four DAYS later Racine l24 lbs, beat
Verge dor los lbs, at one mile and
furlOng. For reversal of form the per-
fOrmance would take first premium in any
country"
The Jockeys, riding these two, are not for
gotten and occasionally the judges seem to
wake up and find out that crooked work is
going on right under their noses. Then
they suspend few OF them.
NARvAEZ SUSPENDED.
Among the Jockeys recently suspended
is boy named Naryaez, who for some time
past has been frequently charged with
fraudulent riding on California tracks, but
who always escaped punishment through
peculiar influences. He is engaged by the
Undine Stable, which has the very best
California colts under lease from the Palo
= Alto stock farm, and it may be here noted
that this stables running has been most
freely criticized. On Thursday last, while
riding Bob L. Naryaez so openly pulled the
horse that the judges suspended him for
the meeting. NaTyaeZ, riding on the last
days racing of the Blood Horse spring
meeting was denounced by every paper in
this city, and if justice had been done he
would have been ruled off then and there
for life, but again his pull saved him.
THE BEST COLTS OUT.
Speaking Of the best form shown up this
year in the East the Spirit of the Times
says: What an extraordinary good stable
Mr.. Belmont would have had If he had lived
has been more than ever apparent within
the past week. The five best two-year-olds
out SO far may be put down as being His

tory and Nomad, OF which three would have

colt, while among the older division Prince
Royal and Raceland would have proved
worthy representatives.
Perhaps there is no more deceptive ami
NAL IN training at the present time than Mr..
L. z. Roses good FLY Fairy. After in
specting her it would take q bold man to
back her in anything like fair company
and even after the excellent form she has
displayed this holds true. She is, in fact,
nothing bat skin and bone, but in that at
tenuated body of hers is as stanch and
game a heart as ever horse possessed
Her victory in the Thistle stakes Monday
was great surprise, as the price against
her showed, especially as she was ridden by
the stable jockey, Ward, who had not so
far distinguished himself by any remark

fact, on this occasion he rode well judged

KENTUCKY RACERS.
1t is not an unusual thing to find a horse
that has every quality Of a winner, but
which seems unable to get past the wire in
advance of his field. There are score of
such horses in active training, and some of
them can be found right here in Chicago
says the Evening Post of that city. Good,
consistent animals, game and speedy thew

the finish they do not seem to be able to get
their noses in front Whether it is ill luck
or whether it is the fault of bad riding no.

horse IS Business, who astunshed several
thousand people at Washington Park re-
Gently by beating Kingman ut a mile and o

who won the lakewood three or four years
ago, this horse has been pursued by the hard

at the finish, and seldom fails to show, that

won only one race in thirty starts, but only
once did he run worse than third. There
are whole lot of men who have confidence
in Business and never fail to bet on his
chances, and though they have lost heavily
on him, they unite in saying that nothing
but i'll luck keeps him down. Another

MISS ALIcE's FAST MILE.
The latest sensation in the trotting world
is undoubtedly the great race made by Miss
Alice in the 2:19 class at Hartford. 1t was
conceded that she would beat her field. bnt
that she would reduce her record to 2:17A
In the first race of the season on track that
was trifr slow on account OF recent rain,
and at the same time distance her field, was
not expected. 1t stamps her as great mare,
and her admirers confidently predict that
she will trOt in 2:15 or better before the sea-
son is over. She is the fastest performer in
her sire's (Alcantara) list.
The first two ear-old to enter the list this
year is Annorean, by Cyclone, she having
