on all the State tracks embraced in the
grand and northern circuits.
AT the Bay District track next Saturday
begins the grand circuit with the four
days summer meeting of the Pacific Coast
Trottng-horse Breeders Associat ion. In
the big programme. which has already
been published In The CALL. all the races
have been filled with large fields except
the 1ree-for-al1. entries to hich close on
Thursday. There will be great novelty
in the form of two-mile dash for PAGERS.
Promptness will be rule rgdly enforced
on the track. The contests will commence
promptly at P. NJ, and by 5 o'clock the
last heat of each days events will be
ended.
In reference to these interesting trotting
and pacing contests local turf paper
for the first day Of the meeting the proba-
Bile starters are Plunkett. W. Wood and
| Tom Ryder. They would make splendid
race and beats should be paced better
than PIP. Steve Whipple. Edena, Shy
lock and Lee may start IN the free-for-alI
trot. Edenia can trot in IA or better her
record being 2:17A; Steve Whipple's
record is PA in fourth heat. Shylock
has shown his ability to beat his record of
2:16A, and Lee is said to be faster than
ever. They should make race worth
going miles to see. The Bay District track
is now being put in shape and will be in
fix for record breaking by Saturday.
Next on the circuit is the Golden Gate
fair, commencing at the Oakland track on
the 31st inst. and continuing one week.
AS 1t Immediately follows the breeders
meeting and such liberal purses having
been made. the class races are certain to
fill. and the running races will have un-
usually large fields. There will be both
| running and trOtting events each day, an
inner track having been prepared for the
gallopers. AS the Supervisors OF Ala
med a County have amended unfavorable
| ordinances there appears every prospect
for success at this meeting. From Oak
land the horses and live stock proceed to
Napa and thence through the fairs around
the bay.
The northern circuit, consisting of Will
lows, Rid Bluff, Chico and Marysvlle, has
arranged liberal purses and classes for
all. The circuit opens at Willows on the
9th proX., and there will be week Of
racing at each of the four places men,
toned.
From various places in the State outside
the scope of the circuits. come reports Of
fine racing programmes for the summer
and fall. so there promises to be good sport
on the turf all the way from San Diego TO
SiSklyou, and from the sea to the Slerras."
E. j. Baldwin has assured California
turfmen that he will hereafter race his en-
tire string at both fall and spring meet
ings.
In the East the season seems to be a
lucky one for short horses. The victory
of Hankins' colt Rudolph in the great CO.
lumbian handicap at Chicago on Saturday
was perhaps due to the accident that befell
MorellO just before the start.
The largest money to be trotted for in
the United States this year will be at Lex
ington, KY, on October 7. The event is
the stallion representative stake for three
yeor-ods. The winner will receive not
less than $4,000.
| At Washington Park last Thursdar &
new record for two miles was made by
Newton. The time, 3:27R. supplants the
race record of 1928. made by Wildmoor at
Kansas City, September 81. 1892, and
equals Ten Broeck's record against time
at Louisville. May 29. 1877.
