Looking over TIE list of starters it ap-
pears that Lamplighter, Banquet. King
ston and Judge Morrow are the only ones
that nave earned The title of ranking first
class.
OF the others, Diablo is a pa,ched-up
cripple and Terrifier has failed TO show
that he could run mile and a quarter and
beat racehGrSPs. FideliO is Sunday
horse. and ii is safe to say that he Will be
laborng cOnspicuously IN the rear or max
ing bold front for the prize in the early
part of the journey. Nomad is fancied by
many of the astute division on account OF
his ienient burden OF 110 pounds. lie has
great turn of speed, and if he will stay
the distance like other good Wildidles he
should be well up at the finish.
That game ana fast piece of stuff, Cha
y r
and many other shrewd horsemen. He
carries but 105 pounds. and good judges
say that If the pace is not too hot for him
the first part of the journey he should pos
sess chance serond to none. Leonawell
has the confidence of his owner, Phil
Dwyer, bGt he ran such shOckinglv bad
races last year. interspersed with a few
good ones. that one does not know where
TO class him.
Judge Morrow, who captured the event
last year after a rafting finish with
lassara, looks very dangerous, as does
Raceland, WHO, II he Is in anything like
the condition Jimmy Rowe used TO get
him, should make things hum. Mike
Dwyer, who hes never yet won the event,
will try very hard 10 land it-with Racei eiand,
Banquet, Kingston and Nonad.
DwyeI'S hopes are principally centered
in Banquet, but it is likely that if Race
land IS good. he will be the most prominent
of the two at the finish. 1t is expected
that age will tell on this great horse
King ston, and that lie vii! not run Il mile
and quarter as OF yore.
Lamplehter, the four-year-0ld by
Observation-Disclosures, is asked to carry
the TOP weight. l25 pounds. He is beyond
any question of doubt n grand and great
racehorse, and if he is as good as he was
last fall, the purse should be his. He has
never been considered an early horse, but
! this spring he has been moving along well
on Pierre Lorriliard'S private track at
Jobst0wn. and is right up 80 race
Californians want NomaG to win and
will await the news of the resulto the race
| anxiously.
The Metropolitan handicap, the next
| great event of the season, which will be
decided at Morris Park on May 81, is the
medium of as much speculation as the
American Derby.
Locohatchee is an equal favorite with
Yorkville Belle in the future books al 10
to 1. while Al FIorian. La To>ca, His
Highness, Julien, Charade. Parvenue, the
Californian, Monowai. and Glenmoyne have
lot of support at 10 TO 1. The Califor-
nian. Wildwood. who may be a starter,
has been backed down from 100 TO ! to sc
/. Steve Estees is quoted full, while Adel-
bert and Beansey have been driven down
from long odds. Monowai is be ng pre-
pared especially for this event. and with
the light impose of ninety five pounds up
may turn the trick.
The interest in trotting and pacing seems
to be greater than ever before in the his
tory of the State. At every racetrack in
the State trOtterS and PAGERS are being
prepared for the circuit races, which COM
mence at the Bay District on May 81 under
the auspices of the Pacific Coast Trotting-
horse Breeders Association. The asso-
citation has made great efforts TO have the
races wen on their merits.
Such famous campaigners as Flying Jib,
Directum. San Pedro, Little Albert, Tru-
man, Advertiser, n. Wood. Our Dick.
Wanda and Lindale viii all be on hand,
and as they aIe all stars their appearance
should be enough TO draw a crowd.
The meeting will last several days, and
on each day there will be several races at
all distances. 1t is expected that $50 horses
will be on hand ready to race and if so the
sport should be excellent.

after the trotters have their inning at the
track, the bangtails will be given another
chance at Oakland, where Henry Schwartz
intends TO race every day for two months.
He says he will discontinue racing as soon
as the county fairs start, so as not TO iD-
lure their prospects.
As the Supervisors of Alameda County
have by ordinance privileged bookmaking
OH Eastern events on local race track, 1t
is likely that Schwartz will take advantage
of the ordinance and make what is known
as foreign book.
Foreign books are made on several other
racetracks. but 1t cannot be said that it
helps or injuries racing. The poolrooms,
while located in the heart of the city, had
a contaminating influence on the youth,
therefore 1t certainly is satisfaction to
the citizens of this city that if betting on
Eastern races is to he allowed it is con-
fined to an t-Of-the-way racetraek, like
the one near Emeryville.
Schwartz, although lie does not openly
admit thai he Will run a foreign book al
the Oakland track, says significantly that
the law does not prohibit it, He argnes
that the reasons for opposition to city pool
rooms are all removed by locating at the
track. An admission viii be charged to
enter the track and watch the races or
speculate on Eastern events, and Schwartz
says that as the place is so far removed
from business eenters, clerks or boys will
not have either the time nor the induce
ment to visit the track. He says further
more that If a foreign book was running
they would not be allowed on the track.
He intends to cater to the bona-ide race
goers, who love to speculate and who
would go East if they could not find game
on the coast
The Grand Jury of Alameda County is
investigating the passage OF the ordinance.
and possibly their Investigations may
blight Schwartz prospects. The track
has been put into fine condition and many
repairs have been made.
The spring meeting of the Capital City
Turf and Driving Club of Sacramento will
commence on June 6. Entries for the
various stakes close on May %.
Rule 1C0 of the American Trotting Asso-
citation now reads as follows: in ali races

wherein the number of starters shall be re-
duced TO less than eight. the 75-yard dis.
