george ireen has gone east 10 1lght
somebody, and the match between Gala
CHER and him is off,. Certainly his eths
cd OF going away was d tritle unconyen-
tional but | do not think that he went
because he was afraid to tight Gallagher
although lie by no means moderated
the ability of the professor.
Although have no definite information
ON the subject understand that the
contest in the east is to he before the Sea-
side Athletic club. for $500 The purse
here was but $50. One can haily blame
Green for wanting to go where he can get
the most money, particularly as the man
he will so against will very likely be no
clevercr if IS clover. Us Gallagher. 1t
was the way he treated the people who
had befr:ended him that condemn.

| have rar " seen better race than
the one of Saturday in which old Blizzard
poked his nose in front of milestone at
the wire. Notwithstanding that White
stone was ridden all over the track.
bumped into sever,l times and cut off on
the turns he ran Blizzard to neck III
1:3lls.. which Is wonderfully good time
over q cuppy dead track. "he victory of
Biz gard IS q fair illustration of the un-
certainty Of horse racing. At San Fran
cisco he had not shown any OF his old
time form during the meeting. and Mr.
Spreckels, vino had bought him from Dan
Mccarthy, traded him back again for the
mare Bridal Veil. | think Mccarthy got
the best of the trade, for Blizzard. as tit
as he showed himself to be on Saturday,
is q mighty useful horse in almost any
kind OF company.
Felix Carr was very much disguised
at Mulkeys refusal to let him ride
r. %l..,t NJ Nc
had engaged Felix IN San Francisco to
come down here and ride i'll ten handl-
caps. He hurried out to the track after
getting off the tram and weighed in So
afraid was he of taking on weight that
he neither ate breakfast or lunch. Then
Mulkey said that inasmuch as COON BIS
had reduced in order to ride, it wonld
be too bad to take the mount away from
him. But Mulkey knew that Carr was
coming, and it seemed rather strange
that he did not allow the boy to ride. |
believe that Candid would have run bet
ter race if Felix had been on her. The
way she came at the finish showed that
she was in pretty good shape.
Peter Weber was very much disappont-
ed at the work OF jockey Flynn yesterday.
FLYNN, who came down to ride Schwartz :
horses had a mount in every race. but
failed to get "a mark, except Oh the last.
when he was third on Hymn. Little

His mounts were all number four on the
programme and four is an unluchy num-
Der for the lad.
Flambeau as sire certainly shows
wonderful promi e. Last year few OF
his get raced as two vear-olds. among
them Piouante. Flint and Eckert. Pi-
ouante ana Flint were both cracker
lacks. This year Crescendo has shown
the best form of any two-yearold ever
started in California. He is Il splendid
individual and any youngsier that beats
him will have to be sensational per-
former. better than Domino ever was. or
showed his quality Saturday. lie is Il
great big fellow and like most OF that
sort rather slow at the beginning. He
has lot; of courage though, and plenty OF
speed where it is most useful-through
the stretch | think Rummel will be a
better performer than Piquante was last
season.
Secretary Benjamin is to be congratu-
lated on his liandicapping in the New
ton. \ furlong from home all the horses
were punched.
1t seems too bad that mare as good as
Centinella should not have better oppor-
tunites. She is already matron, but
last fall She ran very last mile at Agri-
cultural park. and on Saturday she
showed a world of speed for three-quar-
tiers OF a mile Then her lack of condi-
ton told with that race in her. ! think
she might give any horse at the track an
argument at three quarters or seven
eighths OF a mile. y special race at the
latter distance with say Whitestone, Can
did, Blizzard, Little Cripple and Centinel-
la to start, would prove great attraction,
each of them to be weighted as in the
Newton handicap.
