Matt Byrnes. the horse trainer,
stopped over In Butte a few hours
Christmas day, on his way from San
Francisco to New York, where he took
a car OF yearlngs from Marcus Days
ranch to be sold. He says the new
1ngleside track Is as fine as any in the
East and the racing OF a high grade
order. There are a great many horses
In San Francisco that are hardly fast
enough TO go up against the good ones
OF the East and many owners are fig
uring on coming up over the Montana
circuit with them next summer. Among
them are Burns & Waterh1use, the
California miQlionaires, who own some
OF the best stock in the state, also Ed
Corr1gan says he will send a string. II
these stables and other equally as good
come, which are figured on. there will
be high grade racing on the Montana
circuit. which will leave no show for
crabs and dogs. Mr.. Byrnes says the
outlook FOR racing In the East for next
year ts great deal better than last
year. a great many more stakes being
onered and no probabilities OF trouble
from the anti-racing laws. Mr. Byrnes
has Il horses in New Jersey which win
be put In training as soon as the
weather permits. which is usually
about March back there Among the
colts is a FLY by Tammany called IT,

well-informed turfman. writing to
the Horseman from San Francisco

IL Is positively disgusting that the
safety and prosperity of racing should
De constantly menaced by the pool
rooms. which cling to the sport as bar
nacles to the bottom OF a ship. and
when dislodged proceed to do their
utmost TO destroy that which made
possible their existence. There Is alb
soiuteiy no excuse for the being of a
city pool room, and only the most
stringent and thoroughly enforced
laws Will suppress them. 1t seems as
tnough II was going to prove a hard
TASK to drive them out OF San Fran

sport no stone should be left unturned

races run at New Orleans and else
where. The authorities must be 10
blame for permitting this contraven-
ton OF the law TO continue, and In such
cases the public must do the best a
can or nothing. That the pool room
keepers VIII fight to the bitter end we
have had ample proof. and I'm view of
this the Horseman would counsel unit
ed action on the part of those who
favor and conduct legitimate sport. III |

clearly defined that even the most BIZ |

misrepresentation OF those of the De |

cality and who gain a spurious repu- |
tation by association with others OF |
fair standing and sincerity of pur- |
