era in horseracing on this side of the con-

For the first time in the history of the

the representative men of the East who
are associated either for pastime, pleasure
or business with horses, have come to San
Francisco. Many of them have come with
magnificent strings of horses ready and
anxious to cope, stable to stable, irrespec-

THE GRAND STAND.
Magnificent Accom- rotations from
Which the Public May View
the Races.

The grand stand is beautiful structure
of steel, glass and wood. 1t is airy and
bright, we'll fitted with comfortable seat
ing accommodation for 5000 people. The
aisles are wide and the incline not pre-
cipitous enough for uncomfortable walk
ing, but still enough for an easy view over
the heads of the people seated in the row
in front.
1t is reached through a covered prone
made leading from the terminus of the
electric car on one side and another
promenade from the terminus of the
steam cars. The spectators see nothing of
the track until they have assembled about
twenty steps of wide stairway on either
side OF the main entrance leading to the
stand Then the whole course, with the
twenty-five big stables on the other side OF
the backstretch, and the grand framework
formed by the towering hills a mile or two
away, bursts upon the spectator as beau
tiful panorama. To the left perfect view
can be had from each and every seat OF the
stretch. To the right the view takes in

A. B. Spreckels, Henry J. Croker and
few other Californians had begun to ac-
ouire stables composed of the best stock
this side of the Rockies. They chafed lin
der the necessity of simply gazing upon
their pretty forms and never seeing them
in the heat of competition. They wanted
a change, and when that grand old horse
man from the East, Edward Corrigan,
came to this coast on visit two years ago,
this coterie formulated a plan by which
the East and West would come together
in amicable and satisfactory contests on
Californian track.
The old Bay District Track was fast going
out of existence. In fact the residents III
the neighborhood had been clamoring for
years to have the City cut streets through
it. Besides, the lease of the property
would leave San Francisco entirely desti-
tute of q racing course.
In view of these facts it was decided to
organize and incorporate the Pacific Coast
Jockey Club and then seek good locality
where a modern as we'll as model race
course might be built. This was no easy
matter, although there was no end of,
money and energy behind the enterprise
as it was necessary to not only get vas
tract of land, but also to get one accessi
BILE to the people of the City. AS it hap
pened, the only suitable lands available
were Just in the localities that were no.:
tapped by the streetcar service. But then
all the difficulties were wiped out and to-
day San Francisco has racecourse as fine
as any in the United States and in many
respects much finer.
Mr.. Spreckels and his associates picked
out $50 acres of land at Ingleside, not
m ore than four miles from the new City
Hall and rifle shot from the Pacific
Ocean. 1t is snugly laid between high
and thickly wooded hills at the beginning
of what is often spoken of as the Mission
warm belt. In order to level the track it
was found necessary to build up the first
turn even as far as the quarter pole, CIV
ing it the deceptive appearance of being on
a high grade.
The promoters started their men at
work last September, and at cost of over
$500, 200 they have given to the public as
picturesque and model track. grand stand
and stables as can be seen anywhere. They
have secured the cooperation Of the street.
car companies as we'll as the steamcar line,
and passengers will be landed at the gates
OF the course.
There are at least two splendid roads
leading to the place, one which calls for a
drive through Golden Gate Park to the

large as those hung up last season in the
East and much larger than those being
competed for there this winter. The plans
of the proposed stables were submitted,
and the assurance of such men as Corrigan
and Spreckels that all facilities and accom-
dations would be given settled the Eastern
men. They have nearly all come here, as
already stated; they have seen and are
satisfied now it remains to be seen whether
they will conquer. They are to be pitted
against many and game horses belonging
to Californian stables, among which may
be mentioned Walter Hobart's, W. 0. B.
Macdonough's VIM. Murry's, Il. J. Bald
wins and A. 3. Spreckels'. The Eastern
contingent, therefore, will not have a
walkover, but this is SO much the better,
as it is bound to make matters more inter
esting.
The racing is to be all high class. 1t
could not be otherwise with the people
who are interested in the venture and the
class of sporting gentlemen they have
brought to this coast. The public too,
viii be given such treatment and comfort
that they will be attracted and pleased be-
yond anything they have yet seen on this
coast.
And this has been done in remarkably
short space of time, and on Thanksgiving
day the crowds that will witness the great
races between the best horses in the
United States, from comfortable seats and
elegant surroundings, will feel that the
Pacific Coast Jockey Club and the gentle
men who placed it on foot have elevated
the sport to the standing it justly de-
serves.
The breeders OF horses in this state are
doing their utmost to assist the Jockey
Club to well-deserved success. They
recognize that it is through its instrument

not only every foot of the first turn, but
looking beyond may be seen the Pacific
Ocean. 1t is an inspiring sight, especially
late in the afternoon, about the time when
the last race is run, to look off in the dis
lance and watch the glorious sunset.

might be turned into lake at any time,

grand stand so agreeable in every respect
to the ladies that they will attend the
races and feel secure in every way, not only

possible to get these men and their horses
to come out here as it would have been TO
reach the moon. They liked the climate,
and many of them wintered their horses
in California, but as to racing them-never.
Careful business men-lovers of honest
affairs, which relegated them to the back
ground and compelled them year after

into the sport. and gradually it tapered
off, becoming thing almost only in mem
DRY. There were strong reasons for this,
and it became necessary to study them
out that they might be overcome. This is
what small coterie of gentlemen sports
have done, with results that surpass the
expectations of the most sanguine.

gamblers and private individuals, became

no track in the United States offered such

hardly to compare with the thirdclass
tracks of the East. AS to the purses they

An Odd Combinations.

There was an odd combination of
tourists in town Tuesday afternoon
and today, en- route from Minneapolis to
some indefinite place in the west, where
they have arranged, through some agree
ment with the spirits of another world,
to discover a very valuable gold mine.
Attention was first called to them
through a telegram from T. J. Wood
mansee of Steele to Attorney Allen,
asking him to collect from them S22, for
board and lodging while at Steele, which
sum they omitted to pay upon their de-
parture. The party was found in the
east end of the city, and after some dis
cussion, they paid the amount. The at
tention of the authorities, however, was
forcibly called to the peculiarly of the
combination. There we're three women
in the party, who left Minneapolis two
months ago. They names they give as
Mrs. Nix, Mrs. Holland and Mrs. Brew
ster. All of them are s~piritualists, and
have periodical seances with the inhabi-
tants Of the other world. IL one of these,
the departed husband of Mrs. Brewster
informed them of the gold mine in ques-
ton, and they are now en- route to find
it. Another fact which has excited the
suspicion of the officers, is that Mrs.
Brewster appears to be unduly under
the influence of the other women. She
is an old lady, &C years of age, and
pays all the bills of the party. She has
property in Minneapolis, and has also a
SOL there in the insurance business.
The other women are rather unprepos-
sessing characters, and what may be
their intentions at present is a matter of
which the authorities are suspicious. A
telegram was received from Minneapolis
last night from a bank, informing the
| officers that she had money there and
asking where mail would reach her.
The authorities have written her son
there, telling them of the facts in the
case. The party intended to leave to-
day for Mandan. They have a half-top
phaeton and n team of horses, and a
young fellow from Minneapolis is the
only male member of the company. All
of the women are past middle age, very
stout, and form a rather unique trio.
