has the following to say OF Mr.. Daly's
horses, which have been in winter quar-
tiers in New Jersey: Marcus Daly's great
lot of racers will soon be moved west
from Freehold. N. j., to the Chicago
tracks, where stall room has been selected
for the miilionaire's pets. Trainer Matt
| Byrnes has had a severe winter for his
| training operations under the sheds and
on the favored spots at Monmouth, but a
a competent judge of animals says the
DAILY lot look as if Byrnes had given the
animals plenty of slow work. Following

of Firenze. The last four are the prop
erty of Matt Byrnes.
The richly bred 4-year-old, Matt Byrnes,
like his namesake, is in 'the pink of con-
dition." This animal fines down as he
grows older and he shows plenty of quail
ity now. The foot that troubled him IL
now sound and the fellow will be heard
from in strong company. Sir Francis,
now gelding, looks worthy of his dams
fame, for all sons and daughters of Thora
are well liked. Bathampton, by Hamp-
ton-The Bat, has won races, and, as he
Is royalty bred he may be expected to
continue a winner. Dutch Buster, by
Brag, out Of Dutch Skater mare, looks
the proper stamp for a vigorous steep.e-
chaser. Friar has never been really
trained, but he is by Ayrshire-La Trappe,
by Hermit, and should amount to some-
thing. The Pepper has furnished into n
powerful looking horse. In all, the DAILY
string is formidable, healthy and pleas
ing.

broke the coast record for a mile and a
half over six hurdles, in San Francisco
last week. Though st. Jacob made a new
record the ''judges" thought the race was
not "square" and therefore declared all
bets off. The San Francisco Chronicle
contained the following account of the
farce tho next day: "When Ballarat
raced on the fiat he could not beat COM
mon selling platers at any distance be-
yond five furlongs, yet over the jumps he
could go four miles, and last year easily
disposed of the best horses in this country
at that game. There is now a horse at
the Bay District that seems to be another
Ballarat. He is by St. Blalse, dam Wood
Violet. St. Jacob is the name of tine
horse. He made new track record yes
terday at one mile and a half over six
hurdles. On the fat he showed speed for
a half-mile and then stopped.
The race was the fifth on the card and
caused much discomfort among the
plungers, because after st. Jacob had won
easily by six lengths all bets were declared
off. After st. Jacob was placed first,
Bellringer second and Relampa 60 third
for the money hung up by the association,
Sam Hiidreth stepped on the track and
raised the winners selling price to 81 900.
The owner retained his horse with IS
bid. The win was a costly one for him.
