The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1894-05-09

uorDyt anu Ln0n the CrOWu Will spun up
about evenly, half the horses going to
Latonis and the other half to st. Louis.
The Brooklyn handicap is the great at
traction at the far east, and after That
the suburban. Just at present there are
several horses which cut up tribe sott
last year, but which are now very much
fancied for the great event at Graves-
end. One of these is Comanche, bred
at Sacramento, and winner OF the Bel
mont stakes at Morris Park.
&*&
Another OF these highly promising
candidates Is Byron McClelland's colt
Henry of Navarro. who is being highly
touted for the Brooklyn after a phenom-
email trial at the entire handicap dis
lance, although the race is six weeks of.
He ranked about fifth or sixth among
the 2-ysar.olds OF last year. and was I'M
ouessionsbly below not only Domino
and Dobbins, but Senator Grady, Sir
Excess and Jack OF Spades as well.
believe sincerely that, in spite of his
phenomenal trial at the Brooklyn dis
lance, Lucky Dog can be sold to match
against him at mile. Indeed, fail to
see where he is any much better colt
than Galillee.

OF course there are those who will tell
you that the topweight horse, Clifford.
has beth these handicaos at his mercy
since the big brown Lsmplighter was
struck out of his engagements. But |
don't expect to see another topweight
winner like Salvador. though two eastern
men here assure me Clifford is pounds
better than the white-facsd son of Prince
Charlie. Naturally look for winners
of such handicap among the middle
weights, from liz to 11S pounds. Last
year there was nothing in it but Lamp
lighter" but he was second in the
Brooklyn, won by Diablo. and third in
the Suburban, won by Lowlander, with
that rapid old 'skate" TERRIER in the
second position. Still l shall always
think he lost the Brooklyn by being got
into pocket.
In the scratching of Lam plighter at
once, as soon as it was aEcertained his
leg was injured, Mr.. Wslbsum has done
an act that entities him to the public
gratitude. II he were q millionaire
breeder like Mr.. Hsggin or young
August Belmont should reasonably ex-
pect it OF him. But seeing that he is q
professional betting man and could have
kept the horse on his blackboard Tor the
next four weeks and allowed big lot OF
public money to be burnt up on the
horse, must certainly say that | am
agreeably surprised. And / take this
opportunity OF reminding Mr.. Walbaum
that he can come to Los Angeles when
every other place is shut up. He has
acted the part of the honorable sports
man and has set good example to "the
ring"
Sam Gam ble's letter on the STEAMBOAT
trial at Stockton in 1882, in which the
Loa Angeles stallion was credited with q
mile in 2 :071a, shows the sagacity of his
dead namesake, old Colonel Jack, when
the latter gentleman told a certain man
at the old Oriental hotel: II think it
would have been good thing if you had
never learned to write at ALL" 1t will
apply quite as we'll to Sam as to any mau
know. If STEAMBOAT could claim the
record which now belongs to Directum
the case would be different. But he
cannot, and therefore can't help think
ing that some people take unusual pains
to show the length OF their ears.

Young Hoag of Montana, who rides
and trains his own horses, came down to
California with Regent colt called Re-
alization, last November, and after his
arrival here brought Sir Modred flly
called Model. On the last Saturday in
April this fine 2-year-old won the rich
Racine stakes at San Francisco, worth
$3.50, beaides betting $500 more on his
FLY at the very comfortable odds OF Is
to l. Hoag must be feeling good these
days.

They had a gentlemen riders' race at
San Francisco on Saturday, in which
DR.. Ably (Mrs. Langtry's late superin-
intendent at Guenoc) was announced to
ride Pronto at 166 pounds. He had pre-
viously spent three weeks at the Ham
mann bath house, and was in prime con-
dition for the fray. The race was won
by Gilead, ridden by II. Forsland at LAG
pounds, with Gladiator second and Nico-
demus third. Lord Talbot Clifton rode
Dan McCarty's horse DR.. Ross, at 1865
pounds, and ran unplaced. After the
race was over his iordship felt that it
had destroyed his peace of mind, 80 he
started in 10 give the judges a piece of
his mind. 1t ended up ia the discom-
flied Britisher's being ruled off for life.
Just what was the cause of his griev-
ance has not yet TRANSFERRED.

The st. Louis running OF last Sstur-
day proves the great California mare,
70 Tambien, bred by Theodore Winters
at Sacramento, to be- as good as ever. The
track was very muddy. and she beat
Highland, Chiswick and two others as
eaeily as she liked. Later on in the
season she will be az hard to beat as ever
she wac, and there ia no telling what
weight will stop her. Dolly McCone.
also bred by Mr.. Winters, won race on
the same day with her old stable COM
panion.

Tie prices realized for Darelin's year.
linga ct Mr.. Hsggin's last sale were most
discouraging, but tbs recent victories OF
Artist, Miss Clay, Domingo and Alesia
will be- apt to count in favor of the big
brown horse's progeny hereafter. Dare.
lin was great two-miler. and won the
Sydney cup of 1885 in the capital time
OF :331S, with 1874 pounds up, at years
old. Tie American record is six sec
onds faster, but Newton, who made 1T,
carried only 10Y pounds at years of
age. | recommend DIR. Ably To try old
Darelin the next time he wants to get
into a Corinthian race. He will be in
less danger of being arrested for cruelty
to animals.
