Walter Hobart. the young millionaire
who won so many prizes at the horse
show at San Francisco, says the Exam
liner. and was lucky enough to purchase
the winner OF last years Realization just
before that race was run, is ambitious of
becoming a turf magnate.
He has been an almost constant at
tendant at the Ingles.de track. and al
though he is by no means a heavy better,
considering his wealth. he takes great in
terest in the races Several days ago he
went to the men who control the track
and asked to be allowed to purchase some
stock In the corporation. Negotiations
were at once entered into and a block Of
the stock of the association was trans
ferred to him. At a meeting next Tues
day he will be elected a director. Just

horsemen all over this country 1t means
that his interest in turf affairs Is TO be
permanent. The ownership of stables by
such men as he goes far to keep racing
from sinking to a low level. He owns
horses for the pleasure of seeing them
win and not solely to make money out of
them. Notwithstanding this, however
ne mas been very successful in picking
out stake horses to purchase and he must
nave won In stakes and purses alone
nearly enough to pay for his entire sta
bles. At the recent sales of yeariings in
this city he was a heavy purchaser and
secured two gilt-edged youngsters.
