WINTER RACING.
Tom Williams Tells What
He Expects.
HORSES THAT WILL COME.
MoreIlo and Rudolph Will Surely Be
Here, and Possibly Tammany
and LampIighter.

Thomas 81. Williams, president of the
Blood horse Association. has not only been
looking after his string of thoroughbreds
during the summer campaign on the big
Eastern tracks, but be has been doing a
great deal of missionary work among the
horse-owners beyond the mountains in the
interest of the winter meeting.
Since his return to San Francisco Mr..
Williams has been keeping rather secluded
on account of the deathlof his sister. Last
night, however, he was interviewed at the
Palace Hotel, and told something of the
plans that are being followed out in order
to make success of the meeting. and of
what he had accomplished so far as bring
ing Eastern horses to this coast is con-
cerned.
"Only the week before last" he said, Il
was talking to Frank Van Ness, the owner
of Morello. He told me he was surely
coming out here with his stable, which. be-
sides Morelo, is composed of ten horses.
MorellO is of course the best three-year-
old of the year, just as certainly as Domino
is the best two-year-old. With all his
victories, however. l do not regard Dom
mos two-year-old form as equal to that of
Flam beau. In my opinion that son OF
Wilddle was the greatest two-year-old that
that was ever foaled.
Phil Dwyer is going TO send three or
four horses after the London meeting is
over. Marcus Daily. the Montana copper
king, has promised TO winter some of his
string ont here. He told me that if it were
possible he would send Tammany too.
Johnson & Hawkins Etna stables. which
includes Rudolph, one of the greatest OF
handicap horses, is coming sure. There
mi al Rn6nlnh
best OF them are Annie May, a cracker
jack two-year old, Ragna, a California
bred filly, and Roslyn.
Il believe that Chris Smith will come
with the Kendall ssablrs. Mr.. Smith owns
Yo Tambien, Joe Hooker's greatest
daughter. and Maid Marian, wonderfully
fine mare. Then there will be Barney
Schreiber's twenty-nine horses, some Of
which are King Nc. Penny Royal. Zuline,
Broadhead, GruftoD, Georgetown, Jessie
ndLonnie B. Hale of Chicago will bring
some jumpers, including First Lap and
Cachuca, and the racehorses Jake Allen
and Johnny Payne.
Jumpers, including the famous Cicero, un-
der the care of Blakeley, who will ride
them. Blakeley will bring his own hurdIer.
General Miles. James Tompkins viii be
here with Marguerite, another good one
over the jumps.
GuStave WalDaum OF Gutenberg is
going 10 send some horses here. and per-
haps Lampllghter will be among them.
Scoggan Bros. will send ten horses. and
Tom Kelly, the rider, is coming In charge
of the Swigert string, including Michael
and Poet Scout.
"If everybody comes who says he is
coming we ought to have 800 Eastern
horses here this winter but | estimate
that at the lowest calculation there will be
go of them. and some good ones at that.
! They will begin 10 arrive about the 25th
, and will be dropping in until December /.
OF the Jockeys who are coming the most
nrominent ones are Taral. Irving, Morris,
Miller. Taylor, Blakeley and A. Clayton.
There is no doubt that this will be the
largest meeting ever given outside of Chi
cago or New York. and more money will
be given away to horSemen. We have
spared nothing to give the people first
class meeting. and such one as has never
been seen in this city. James Rowe will be
the presiding judge, and with him in the
stand will be Clint Riley and Charles E.
Trevathan. William Barnes of IeXing-
ton will be president of the board of stew
ards, which will consist of five members,
whose duty it will be to investigate and
prevent fraud. So yon can see that there
will not BIZ much chance for crooked work.
Mr.. Ferguson will handle the flag again.
1--WE intend TO try to interest the society
ladies of San Francisco in racing this win
ter. That's the reason the new clubhouse
was built. The rnles concerning admit
tance to it will be very stringent.
''Our opening-day will be big one. We
are try ing to make it as much like Derby
day in Chicago as possible. and think we
will succeed"
