| Klamath's career shows about as con-
| sistent race horse record as any per-
| former of recent years. He began to
race as a four-year- old, and in only one
race in which he was started has he
failed to get some portion OF the purse.
AS our-year-old, he started thirteen
times, winning ten races; as a five-year-
old, he started five times and won four.
In 1898 he won eight out of thirteen
races, and last year ne was either first or
second in similar number of races.
The great racing campaign of the iour-
year-old Benzetta, 2:O6M, draws renewed
attention to the fact tnat her dam Beulah
is by Harold and her second Gam is Sally
B., by Lever son OF Lexington. She is
also the dam OF that good CANT paigner,
Early Bird 2:iC. He Is only IA years old
with two in the 2:10 list, and she is also
the dam of Judax, 2:2934, tilly by Jay
Bird, that is said TO be fast, also a year
ling sister to Benzetta, and she is again
in foal to Onward. E.W.Ayies is a lucky
man or wise one.
Pierre Lorillard, the tobacco millionaire,
contemplates racing in England next
season. He has been anxious to get
Lissak from Colonel Jack Chinn. father
of Kit Uhnn, the starter at the fair
grounds. Last week Mr.. Lorillard offered
Colonel Chinn $40, 900 for the running
qualities of Lissak in 1885, with the op-
ton of having the colt another year. but
Colonel Cbinn declined the offer. express
ing himself very plainly when he wrote
that he wanted "Lissak to be king in

greatest recommendation is that he owned
DIR. Rice. and won the Broooklyn. Locat
ed on the ball grounds, the new track is
narrow, has sharp turns, is called a half

and Starter Kit Chinn have agreed TO

The Kentucky Stock Farm says: 1t is
said that Monroe Salisbury is very much
taken with the young Kentucky driver
Richard Curtis. and is very desiruus of
having him for his trainer next year. Mr..
Salisbury is quoted in one OF the big
dailies as saying: "rll have that boy
next year If I pay him salary AS large
as that OF the president of tho United
States. He is the bes. material know
of anywhere. He knows his business at
any stage OF the game. and yoI don't
thing you want done" OF course the
offer OF such a fabulous salary IS mere
talk. but we have not the least doubt
that Mr.. Salisbury would like to havs
Richard. and will be willing to pay him
big money. Curtis has always had u
pretty good thing in Kentucky, and it
may be that he would prefer to remain a:
home.
1t is not widely known that among the
travelling para raphernalla j. j. McCafferty
carries around with his training stable
is huge burglar-proof safe. in which he
always keeps stored big lot of money,
sometimes as much as $4,000 or $50. 900
being within it's monstrous iron sides.
The reason yor his having such com.
panion is not only TO keep the money and
valuable books and papers stoI ed. but by
having a safe place for a big amount OF
cash, he has money always on hand to
