The old-time story about the youth
who inherited SO much wealth that he
could find no way by which to keep
down his surplus until, after frequent
consultations with Satan, the latter sug-
gested that he start a newspaper, has had
TO give way of late years before the ex-
periences of men who had gone into the
race-horse business.
And now comes young Charley Fair,
son Of the ex-senator and bonanza king,
who inagines he has found a field for the
display of his sportive tastes and eX-
penditure of his sire's millions by joining
the army of race-horse men.
y few days ago the fact was announced
that Mr.. Fair purchased Yo FL Rey
and SIX other Hooker yearlings from
Theodore Winters for $4,000. Winters
was asked to put price on Marian 5
sucking colt, but refused. Only Il few
days ago Mr.. Fair purchased Princess
and Floodgate of the Palo Alto farm and
! the Darebin-Carrie c. colt of Colonel
| Harry /. Thornton.

secured, and he is said to have his eye on
some others Of the best blood on this
coast. The new departure OF the young
man meets not only with the appreciation
but the hearty encouragement of the eX-
Senator, his father, who is very fond of
horses.
The price paid for Yo FL Rey is a good
one, being next to the highest price ever
received tor Il two-year-Old, but he is con-
sidered by horsemen to be we'll worth the
money. He was bred at the El Arroyo
stud of Theodore Winters. 70 FL Rey,
meaning II, the King" the official sig
nature Of the King OF Spain, is two years
old, by Joe Hooker, and therefore full
brother to Yo Tambien, the sensational
performer of last season, and half-brother
To the Emperor OF Norfolk, the Gar,
Prince OF Norfolk, King of Norfolk, Rey
del Key and the Duchess Of Norfolk. He
already holds a high place because of his
performances, and is said to be even more
promising at his age than were his dis
Observation-Disclosures. Joe Hooker was a
successful race-hOrSe and is q leading sire
of race-horses. He is by Monday, out OF
Mayt1Ower, by imported Eclipse, second

sum and even more few years hence.
MIR. Fair has not yet fully determined
where his stud shall be permanently To-
Gated. Richard Havey, who rode ortoik
and who has an excellent reputation. will
train the youngsters near Petaluma,
where the string will be quartered for the
present.
THE DIVERS PURCHASE MONoWAI.
The sale of Monowai is reported from
the DonOthan stable at San Jose, the pur-
chaser being Phil Dwyer, and the price
paid $4,000. Monowai made a brilliant
record at the last Blood-horse meeting,
which was heralded throughout the East,
with the result that several Eastern
horsemen have been trying to buy him.
An offer of Sl2,500 by Macdonough was
declined, but when Dwyer raised it to
Sl5, 600 he was sold.
Monowai is chestnut colt, two years
old, by Midlothian, out OF Eliza. He was
bred at the Rancho del Paso. John
Mackey, the head of that establishment,

terest in the colt, and he was trained at
the San Jose stables for the spring races.

horses and made splendid showings. He
