thwart Schwarlz's plans by starting q
race meeting of his own tomorrow after
noon. Wright has spent a little money
improving the track in contemplation oil
Schwartz giving an extended race meeting
Oh it. Now he feels aggrieved, as there
are about 200 horses over there ready to
race, he proposes to start in and race four
days a week.
Wright should postpone his meeting for
week, that is, until the meeting of the
Capital City Turf Club of Sacramento ends.
1t is not wise policy to nfiict with q
meeting in an outside city. There are not
enough horses in training in the State to
keep few race meetings going, and If
country meetings fail through cashlng OF
dates. bill will likely be- passed by the
Legislature limiting racing on any track to
certain period.
This would be severe blow to the fall
meetings proposed here, which are eX-
pected to draw few hundred crack horses
from the East, as well as a couple of thou

known performers, is financially embar.
raised, or rather is fiat broke. Chappell
was very successful last fall, and race
goers will hardly forget the killing he made
on Guadaloupe, who ran in maiden race
with odds of 30 to against him. Chappell
enriched himself about $4,000 on Gusda-
loupe's victory. He los all he won and
more. too, at the spring meeting. Recently
he shipped Peel to Chicago in charge OF
Dan Tully. Tully and the horse are now
in Chicago. but Chappell aud Jockey Ep-
pherson, who were follow them in Pull
man few days later. are still enjoying the
breezes of The Pacific. Money and they
were strangers. and when they tried TO
ind enough to buy railroad tickets to Chi
cago they were disappointed.
Jack the Ripper, Little Tough and Chap
pelfs other orses are all mOrtgaged. So
Epphers0n, who has had falling out with
| Chappeli, finds that he cannot secure any
of the money due him.
All of the two-year. olds in the East must
bow to Domino, the black colt who won
the great American and Juvenile stakes in
such hollow style. lie belongs to James
K. keene. famous here years ago as a
bonanza king. and horsemen in the East
consider him unbeatable. He was small
as yearling. and for that reason was
secured for $1,000 by Mr.. Keene. The
Morrlses. who own his great sister Correc-
ton. looked him over at the sale and did
not fancy him; neither did Wyndham
| Walden. their trainer.
There were but two bids on the colt, one
of $500 and the final offer of $4,000. The
colt has won enough in two races to buy
Dozen yearlings at the same rice.
An Eastern paper has the following to
say of the colt aud his performances:
After the yearling trials were over last
fall 1t was whispered around Delmunco's
that keene had rral corker down at
Sheepshead Bay, and Albert Cooper went
around looking very disconsolate when
the youngster by Himyar out of Minnie
| Gray was sent to William Lakeland.
Early this spring the Brighton Beach con-
or yrrtco
when good two year-olds were being dis
cussed. and said that there was one down
by the sea that could step some. Early
this month Lakeland worked Domino
half mile over the Beach course, which
is deep in sand, in 4Sh seconds. and the
good thing was out After that he was
spirited over to Sleeps head Bay and up to
Gravesend whenever anything fast was to
be done, but those shrewd fellows
wfo see every move of conse-
quence could not be thrown off, and
when Domino faced the starter for the
nrst time the public backed him off the
boards. 1t was only play for him to run
five furlongs in LOO and the question of
two-year-old supremacy was conceded to
lay between him, Dobbins, Halton and Joe
Ripley, all good lockers, game, and win
ners of GOOD races. Saturdays contest for
| the Great American. however, settled the
question OF supremacy for good this season.
After being half an hour at the post DOM
inc PLAYED with his opponents and won as
he pleased in the very fast time of :O1%
He won in such gallant fashion as To charm
the hearts of the old-timers who remem-
bered Trenonts electric rushes, and Dom
inc was at once proclaim ed as a second
black locomotive.
After the race Billy Lakeland said to
some friends:
There's the stracehorse ever trained
or had my hand on
The only flaw one can pick in Domino is
his very straight pasterns. and as he rap
both his races in bandages Lakeland is
taking extra care of him.
California has now but one colt to rep
resent her in the great American Derby
that is worthy of representing her. This
is Floodgate. one of Charles L. Fairs en-
tries. REPORTS have been telegraphed TO
this city from Chicago that Dare, Fairs
other candidate, was beating his stable
companion In his work. In fact, it was
stated that Dare had beaten Floodgate a
mile in "a. There is absolutely no truth
In the report, and the best Dare has shown
is mile In :4S12. From reliable reports of
their work it Is said that Dare cannot beat
one side OF Floodgate, and that Dare is
either loafer or has lost his speed. Flood
gate Is showing worlds of speed. Init
