FIELD TRIAL CONTESTS,
The Judges Selected Are Noted
SportSmen and Good
Riders.
Kittle and Jackson Are Members of
the Country Club and Admire
Settlers.

Sportsmen who are interested in field
trials and thoroughbred hunting dogs are
now discussing the appointment recently
made by the Pacific Coast Field Trial Club
of gentlemen who will judge contests at
Bakersfield on the Goth of this month.
D. NJ. Pyle of Bakersfield is well known
to the sportsmen who have attended field
trial meetings in past years. He is man
OF much experience and good Judgment.
Consequently his awards have given gem
eral satisfaction.
Andrew Jackson OF this City is, com
paratively, young man in teli-trial ex-
perience, but he showed such excellent
judgment two years ago at Salinas in de-
Gliding the merits of some close and excit-
ing races between pointers and settlers
that his friends then predicted tn at he
would subsequently be looked upon as one
Of the leading authorities in this State on
matters pertaining to field trials.
w. 5. Klttle, the third man selected, has
had lengthy experience in field sports
and it goes without saying that he can
tell good dog the moment he sees one
''quartered' on hillside or range" over
level piece of country. Mr.. Kittle is
considered the champion wing shot of the
Country Club, and being passionately fond
of dogs the Field Trial Club committee
selected him as being about as able rep
resentative lin the saddle" as it could find
among the many sportsmen at large
Some people who are not members of
the Field Trial Club, but who, neverthe-
less, are very fond of the sport, do not
hesitate to say that II. T. Payne, the Eng
lish setter man, has had much to say in
the selection OF the judges this year. 1t
has been stated that Payne was guest of
the Country Club not very long ago and
NH 10 a f-s,o 10 Ell l..
Payne suggested to Mr.. Kittle, so the
story goes, that he would make an excel
lent field trial Judge, and that after much
persuasion Mr.. Kittle consented to take to
the saddle.
The contests will be held near Bakers
field on a preserved country where birds
are plentiful, and If the weather should be
fine grand sport will surely result. The
dogs that have been entered for the trials
are being well conditioned, and the owners
are all confident of success-but then all
dogs cannot win, not even in a field trial
contest,

odds on choice, the books holding him at
= to 8. Logan opened at 10 to ], wandered
back to 20, and when a few sympathetic
dollars found their way in on him the pen
oilers largely chopped the odds to 10. a
stiff play on Charles Fairs notorious
sulker, Yo FL Rey, the $27, 500 son of Joe
Hooker and Marion, forced his odds down
from 20 to and 9to1. Lismore and Catch
En- were lightly consid cred IN the betting.
When the flag fell, Lismore started out
to show the way. Down the back stretch
Yo Ell Rey shot to the front with great
burst of speed, leading Lismore hall
length, after half of the journey had Deen
travelled. The order of the leaders was
unchanged as the stretch was, reached.
Logan was now looming up as dangerous
factor, the favorite to all appearances
being hopelessly beaten. The old fellow
soon moved into second place, and oppo-
site the draw-gate had the race to all APP
pearances at his mercy. 70 Ell Rey
responded to Chorn's urging, and Ballard
had to resort to the whip with Logan. AS
the wire was passed, the dark nose OF the
veteran showed in front, and he gained the
verdict. II was the most exciting finish OF
the day. The mile was covered in 1:4012.
The balance of the racing was above the
average. Favortes were successful in tax

was to 5 favorite for the opening event
on the card, seven-furlong run, but only
won in a hard drive from the long-priced
outsider Joe K, who made all the running.
The second event, at six furlongs, was
another stubbornly contested race. Tim
Murphy was slight favorite over Red
Glenn, with Emma D strong third
choice. Passing Oregon Eclipse and HUI
eneme, who had been cutting out the run
ming to the stretch, Toano looked likely
winner. He was joined by Tim Murphy
and Red Glenn the last hundred yards,
the three passing the wire heads apart,
Red Glenn finishing in front of the favor
lite, the outsider third.
The mile and half selling event went
to the 6 to 5 favorite, Red Root. Bergen
kept him back until the stretch was
reached the second time, when he made
his run. In drive he beat Articus, who
had made the running, a neck on the wire
IN 2:36 Fl Fl was third.
Chartreuse was to favorite for the
slx-furlong dash for Mares but Gree, the
to second choice, carrying SO pounds,
made runaway race of it and won by
three lengths, with the favorite in the
place.
The last race was captured by the s to 5
choice, Sea Spray, who was in front most
OF the way, and won handi!y by three
| lengths in the good time of 1:1414. Jack
Atkins nipped the second choice, Don
Cara, out for the place.

There were no new faces on the block

Ed Purser backed his horse, Red Glenn,
in every book in the ring. Frank Cody
got him to the wire first in clever fashion.
Riley Grammar had his checks down on
70 Ell Rey for the place.
Jimmy" Mccormick, who trains the
Burns 81 Waterhouse horse, backed Logan
to win, and told friend he evened up his
losses on the meeting.
The judges fined Jerry Chorn $25 for his
rickety-rackety ride on Tim Murphy.
Jerry engaged in altogether too much
humping for safety's sake.
The California Jockey Club has secured
an extension OF its lease to the Bay District
track, which expires on March 1, and will
continue racing on the present course to
the end of the season.
At a meeting of the board of directors of
the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, held yester-
day, they decided upon making Thursday,
the opening day, ladies' day. A splendid
programme has been arranged, and there
will undoubtedly be a crush. Wednesday
is the closing day of the Bay District
track.

stake will be decided under the December

The steamship Walla Walla arrived in this
port last evening at IL o'clock from Victoria,
B. c., carrying "a cabin passengers and 81
steerage passengers. The Walla Walla con-
sumed seventy-four hours in making her voy-
age, about twelve hours over the usual time
required to make the trip. She encountered
strong head winds during most of the voyage
which accounts for her hardness.
