THE WORLD OF SPORT.
MCKINNEY TO GO TODAY ON THE
KITE-SHAPED TRACK.
A New 4-Year-Old Stallion Mark Likely
to Be Established-Californ Entries
for the American Derby at the Worlds
Tair-Yesterday's Sport.

Mckinney will be started today
against the watch over the kite-shaped
track at Stockton. Word to that effect
was received in the city yesterday. The
greatest interest is taken in the trial in
this city, as many expect that new
4-year-old stallion mark will be estab-
lished by the Los Angeles horse. The
4-year-old record is held by Allerton,
and the mark Mckinney is to shoot at
is 2:1314. McKinney's record is 2:17
made in race over the Los Angeles
track. The day before he left Los An
geles the son of Alcyone went mile in
Play. Good and conservative judges
hold that Mckinney could have trotted
that day in 2:13. Now, if Mckinney
can trot over an elliptical track in 2 :13
it certainly looks as if he will do 2 IL or
better over the kite-shaped track.
x*x
expect Mckinney to not only beat
the 4-year-old stallion record, but to
make record that will astonish the
horsemen of the northern end. of the
state. If Mckinney is as good horse
as when he left Los Angeles, it would
not surprise the writer if he should
equal or clip fraction off Arion's mark.
Pools will be sold today at Rodman's,
Mckinney against time.

telegram received today from Porto
Allegro, says Senior Castillo, governor
OF Rio Grande do Sui, has been deposed
from office, and provisional govern

respondent of the Times says: Further
advices have been received from Rio
Grande do Sui to the effect that the gar
rison at San Gabriel and Yage have also
revolted against the dictatorship of Fon-
SEGA. A later telegram says in Rio
Grande do Sui the opposition to Fonseca
is triumphing almost wholly through
out the province, without serious fight
ing.
The Daily Telegraph this morning
publishes Rio Janeiro telegram which
is regarded as trustworthy, saying the
governor and provincial assembly of the
province of Grao Para oppose the coup
d'etat of President Da Fonseca.
THE AUTHORITIES SATISFIED.

parently in pretty much the same shape
as before the declaration of the dictator
