Hitched Together-End Of the
Breeders Meeting.

The fall meeting Of the Pacific Coast
Trotting-horse Breeders Association was
brought to a conclusion yesterday after
noon. There were no less than seven har-
ness events on the card, in addition to the
unfinished special trot postponed from Fri
day afternoon
The postponed race was easily won by
Colonel McNasser. as he captured two heats
In 1924 and 2:25A, his solitary opponent,
Altoona Jr., never giving him much trouble.
Then in the 500 trotting match Joe, the
bay Marco stallion. beat and distanced
Winwood In 1924. After this the Palo
Alto filly Bay Rose, by Electioneer. out of
a Piedmont mare, easily annexed the Cham
pion yearling stakes. making the fastest
yearling race record of the Pacific Coast by
accomplishing the mile in 2;30.
During the afternoon Charles Durfee
speeded his celebrated stallion Mckinney
(2:12h), to beat his record, but 2:15A was
all he could make ON the Oakland track
yesterday. A challenge to trot any horse
in the State for $4,000 side on the Stockton
kite-shaped track was issued by Durfee. to
come off any time within the next two
weeks. Charles Neal, on behalf OF the
owner of Beaury Nc. offered to ac-
cept the challenge for any sum up
to $4,000 side. il Durfee would
tr0t at Oakland, as Billy Fieldwick, the
trainer of Beaury Nc, is at present superln-
tenuent of the Bay District track. and In
view of the forthcoming Bood-horse meet
ing it is impossible for him to go to Stock
ton. After long discussion no match was
made, but one thing Is certain and that Is
that Durfee can be accommodated at any
time If he chooses to put up the money ne
talks so much about
The first race Of the day was the double
team pace and there was plenty of betting
before the first heat Our Dick and Turk
Franklin were driven by Heating, while

Tom Ryder. Keating's team sold fayorite

effected. Bigelow taking his pair to the
front, and there lie stayed, pacing In mag
nlficent style and accomplishing the mile

2:16b.
The other team, on the contrary. broke
and galloped all the way, Heating seeming
to be unable to control them. Our DICK

Ing, but Turk Franklin could not pace
with him. For this reason the judges

heat.
