TURF NOTES.
Review of the Breeders Ass0.
CATIONS Past Races.
More Events Like the Cupid Contest Needed.
The San Jose Fair This Week.
Carillo's Reinstatement.

When the accounts are balanced the meet
ing of the Breeders Association Just closed
at the Bay District track will probably show
a financial less. But it will.not be very
heavy one, and as the association has some
$4,000 to their credit the shortage Will
hardly be felt.
The attendance on an average was not at
all as large as had been expected, but no
smaller than the true merits Of the racing
warranted Strictly speaking, their was but
one day that the public received the value
Of their admission fee, and that was on
Saturday last, when the only race OF the
meeting took place. Up to then the con-
tests were naturally professions,
The association, to draw good gate re-
ceipts, must arrange races that will be races
and not simple walk-overs. AS a rule the
Stake events are decided through the vast
superiority OF one animal long before the
first bell is rung.
WANT MORE LIKE THEM.
One race like the Cupid race is worth
more TO the association than a dozen stakes
for three or four year oIdS, with a few hun
dred dollars added. The money taken in
on the Cupid race in the poOl-box is esti-
mated at S50,000 by some good judges. Ii
this estimate be correct the booksellers
commission at per cent is $500, and of
this the association receives 65 per cent
which would be 1915 Add TO this the COM
mission from the mutuals and the sum total
Is very reuunerd'iye. Then add the gate
receipts, the bar, wheel, shed, programme
and iIuIt privilege returns, the entrance
money 10 the races, and return lar ahead
Of the expenses Is had.
With hardly an exception, not horse
went in any one of the entire list of con-
tests thai was as tit as he or she could be
made. II WAS the first regular meeting Of
the season, and the full keying.up of the
contestants could not be accomplished.
WELL TO REMEMBER.
Followers OF the circuit will do well not
10 be too certain that the horses that won at
the breeders can beat those that started
against them as easily as they did before,
should they meet again. Many of them
will have been greatly benefited by the rae
ing, and @iil be in much better order later
on. Among those that will in al probable
ity show vast Improvement are Wanda,
Serena, c. W. s., Una Wilkes, Alanna,
and Electress.
BAD FOR TIE TALENT.
Taking the meetings betting it was a
very disastrous one for the talent and they
suffered heavy losses. The San MateO con-
t.nEent weat down heavily on Alanna and
Una Wilkes. and one prominent member is
said TO be nearly 5000 behind. Last year S
luck did not attend the followers of Gold
smith this meeting, though there IS hardly
any doubt but that they will amply retrieve
their losses before the circuit is over. and
the san Mateo horses have gone into winter
quarters.
SAN JosE's FAIR.
To-day the first fairs racing opens at
San JOSE where the Santa Clara Agricul-
tural Society offers an attractive pro-
gramme, 10 which full entries have been
received for the harness events. The two
days running schedule, Wednesday and
Friday, Is not very strong one the leading
stables Of the State being away in the East.
Still the entries made are pretty evenly
classed and some good sport should be had.
During the week Sunol is expected to be
sent against the worlds record aud her
owner, Robert Bonner, is said TO be on his
way from New ork now TO see his $4,000
bit of hOCseiiesh try to displace Maud from
her thr' ne as queen OF the track. 1ester-
day there were rumOrS that Sunol had gone
lame ard that she would not be started but
there does not seem 10 be any reasonable
grounds 1or believing the rumor TO be
authentic.
Jockey Britton, who was seriously injured
during the Washington Park meeting, is
still at Mercy Hospital and improving
slowly. He IS able to sit up in bed, but his
mind Is almost blank. At times he has
moments Of consciousness, when he seems
to be all right, and then he lapses into a
comatOse state, and does not seem TO re-
member anything that las happened OF to
be cOEnZaut of present surroundings.
During the recent Detroit harness meet
ing the auction pools did over S25O,O0O in
business, the mutuals $500 ana the books
a big business. 1t was the biggest betting
year in the history of the club

CARILLo's REINSTATEMENT.
Charles Boots, the well nown young
Mipiias horseman, has applied to the
Blood-horse Association for permission to
have Fred GARLIC who was ruled off in 1859
for tie pulling of Al Farrow, ride for him
during the coming San jose meeting Car
lilo has been exercising Boots horses OF
late and has had very hard experience
since his ruling off. He fully realizes that
the way OF the f0und-out transgressor is
very hard. and the chances are that he has
had thorough lesson. Boots only asks for
temporary reinstatement for GARLIC aid
the Blood-horse Association may possibly
give the boy another chance Their doing
so meets with the favor of most of the
horsemen who knew that GARLIC was only
The tool of more designing parties who es-
capped punishment.
