Although there are 10 stable buildings
now completed at the Ingleside track,
with accommodation for $50 horses, each
in a separate stall, the board of directors
finds itself confronted with an urgent de-
mand for still more stable room. To con-
slider this question, which has arisen from
the overwhelming success of the Pacific
Coast Jockey Clubs venture, the board
Will meet tomorrow in the Palace Hotel
1t IS believed that the result of this meet
ing will be an order for 10 new stalls for
Eastern horses, to be built imm edately.
The track will open November 16 with q
dazzling card and under very favorable
| auspices. The buildings are practically
completed in every particular, excepting
the painting, which, according to con-
tract, must be finished Saturday night
The track, stables and grand stand, etc.
are ready for use. By a peculiar com
bination of color the long rows of stables
have been given picturesque and an odd
appearance, the roofs being painted red,
the walls slate color and each having a
letter from A to u, six feet high, in white.
AS whole the buildings are symmetrical
and pleasing to the eye.
The railroad company has been rushing
work on its branch to Ingleside, with 100
teams and $50 men making fill near the
track. Trains from Third and Townsend
streets will run to the edge of the track,
whence a covered walk will lead to the
grand stand, SO that passengers may be
protected from inclemency of the weather
The construction of a carriage house, or
shed, near the track fence, to accommo-
date 100 vehicles, was begun this week.
