RACING AND TROTT|NG GOSSIP,
Some Statistics for the Year
That Has Just Closed.
How the Trotting Sires Have Ranked
Against the Gallopers.
The First Foal of 1898 at Santa ANITA.
Death of the Broodmare Yoione.
Mckinney Fully Recovered
from His Accident.

Mrs. 8. B. WolfskiH OF Santa MONICA,
in this county, has had the misfortune
to lose great broodmare about a tort
night ago. This was Yolone, bay
mare foaled in 1858 and noted as the
dam OF jim Douglas, Heliotrope and
Edelweiss; and granddam of the noted
long distance horse Hotspur, whose race
at one and three-quarter miles at San
Francisco in the spring of 1891,
is the record (3.001a) for that dis
tance. Yolone was inbred to Glencoe
and therefore everything she dropped
was both speedy and stout. She was by
Norfolk out OF Mary Longstreet by Ash
land, from Lola Atontez (winner OF the
fret three mile race ever run on the Pa
clfic coastl by Grey Eagle. Mrs. Wolf
skill has nine descendants of old Yolone
eight FLIES and one colt. The Norfolk
mares are Becoming scare.

Charley Dlrfes is jogging Mckinney
on the road every day, and the great
brown horse is looking as fine as a pic
ture He will never be the worse OF
his trihug mishap, and as soon as he can
be hardened up q trife Durfee will feel
of him short distance, just to see II ne
isthe came old Mckinney. The race ls
not slone to the swift, but to the steady
and the game, and that is why | regard
Mckinney IS the greatest horse in the
state in fifth heat. Palo Alto is dead
and Stamboul has left the state forever,
go that Mckinney is the champion OF
California, by long odds.

The first thoroughbred to arrive in
California this year was a chestnut colt
with small white spot in his forehead,
and I bespeak for him the name OF An
geleflo. Got by the Emperor of Norfolk
out of Los Angeles by Glenelg, 1t ia
almost impossible to imagine a more
royalty bred youngster than this fellow.
He is not very tall but built on the
model Of Luke Blackburn and has big
body OH short lege. His back and loins
are very heavy a1d, while he has rather
plain head, his running gear is superb,
and that ia what makes the racehorse.

The DArebin Iris fliy now running in
Mr.. Dan Miiler's colors, is thought to be
the best 2-year-old in the state on
heavy track Last Monday at San
Francisco, she beat the famous Oregon
sprinter. Joe Cotton, ct six and hall
furionge. In days that are gone by, the
cry used to be "Trust Bonnie Scotland
for race in the mud" Now it seems
as ii the eff4pring OF Darebin had fallen
heirs to the honors hitherto accorded to
the get CT the departed hero of Belle
H. 10 I~.e ~ 1f rot,
account last spring but she comes of
line that does not ripen early. Having
beaten both Motto and Joe Cotton with.
in week, there can be no doubt but she
is racehorse and able to make good
showing next year at the worlds fair
races.
The principal person in the protest
against STAN boul'a record of 2:071a be-
ing allowed is Mr.. W. r. Allen of Pitts
field, Mass who is not only the owner
of the stallion Kremlin e 0724) but is
also president of the board of registry
under whose supervision the Year Book
is gotten ont. Having good young
horse that is almost certain to go in
2:06 or better this year, Mr.. Allen
might have acted little more magnan-
imou:ly in the matter. 1t would not
surprise nae il the board of censors set
aside the records of both Stamboul and
KremliD, and allowed the 2:083 of
Palo Alto to stand as tie stallion record
up to date.
The following trotting horses won
over $4,000 during the campaign, the
large amount placed opposite the name
OF Nancy Hanks being for special purses,
of which she frequently raked in as high
as two a week. All tbs others won their
moneys in legitimate races, horse against
horse:
Nancy Hanks s33, o0oIBelfower =. $s,315
Muta Wilkes. 1929 rreyiilian $3.50
sIieen Rree5am Mason ss3e ss3e
Martha wilkes $500 sifTers Bow, Bow, 4,Soo 1906
So it will be seen that while there was
one trotter that won over $50, 900 in
special purses, there was not another
one capable Of winning one.half that
sum, either against time or in legit-
mate contests. People are at last be-
ginning to fnd out that there is more
money in third-clsss gallopsr than in
first-clasa trotter. The truth is, how
ever, that trotting has been killed by
bad management, while the manage
ment OF running races has been libera al
and progressive.

On the other hand, look at the win
ming Of the RAINING horses for the same
period. We will take 20 OF the most
prominent gallopers and let ue see what
they did. The figure after a horses
name denotes his age

By peruaal OF this it will be seen
that 20 galloping horses won s485, ,112.
aud of this 500 100 was won by three
horsee gotten by Iroquoia. In other
words, three year olds and two 2-year-
clds each won more money than the
best trotting horse OF any age in Amer
lea. OF thoee trotters that won their
money in legitimate races, only one
equalled the eleventh horse on the list
of gallopers This is why men who have
been identified with trotting horses all
their lives are in such hurry to sell
out.

OF galloping horses that won less than
$4,000 aud over 5000 there must be
nearly $50 head Ia ths whole United
States. fbe growth OF aweepstake races
