The Crack PAGERS w. Wood and
Waldo ] Will Once More
Try Conclusions.
INGLEsIDE's GREAT EVENT
General Interest Manifested in the
Result-An Immense Crowd Will
Witness the Contest.

This is the closing day of the trotting
ana pacing meet at Ingleside, and the big
match for $2500 side between w. Wood,
2:O7, the Oakwood stock farms great geld
ing, and Waldo j., 2:0S, the gray ghost
from Santa Paula, is the attraction, and
the affair is attracting widespread atten-
ton among lovers of harness horses
throughout the State. Both horses are in
superb condition, and barrel of coin will
be wagered on the result. In the East
great crowds flock to see the pacing
wonders, Joe Patchen and John r. Gentry,
and with propitious racing weather the
management expects to see the grand
stand and betting ring at Ingleside
crowded with lovers of the noble animal.
As on the preceding days of the week,
ladies will be admitted to the course with
out charse. Seldom are two horses so
evenly matched brought together on
the Pacific Slope, and an equine battle
should result that will go down in the
annals as one OF the memorable contests
of the California turf.
James Mack, the owner of Waldo j,
stated yesterday that the gray ghost is
not eligible to the 2:l0 class, and tnat this
will probably be his only appearance in
this part of the State during the year. The
As the programme is composed of four
well-hlled events, the starters in the first
race Will be called out by Starting Judge
McNear at 80 o. clock.
Second only to the big match race is the
Z:19 trot for purse of $1,000 with field
of ten starters. Prince Ira, 2:I91I, the
crack Chico mare, Mamie Griffin, and Gil
patrick, the fast Salinas horse, are among
the starters.
In the 2:35 pace, Sindwood, said to be
the most promising son of the Orange
County IDOL, Silkwood, will appear along
with other fast ones.
The Butchers race, best two-in-three
heats, will hardly prove less greater at
traction than the professional trials of
speed. All the gentlemen entering horses
in the race are members of the Butchers
| Board of Trade, and that body, it is said,
will be out in full force.
The board OF appeals met yesterday, and
alter hearing all OF the testimony, exoner-
ated j. K. Albertson from all blame in
connection wit the peculiar showing OF
the horse Strathmont some days ago, and
removed his two years sentence OF sus-
! pension. 1t was shown that Mr.. Albert
| son, who IS not an experienced knight of
the sulky, was i'll on the day of the race,
| and that the owners had demurred about
letting him drive. James Dustin also let
the owner OF the green PAGER off with a
| 500 fee for his services in the suIky, in
stead of accepting hall or his net win
| nings.
| Following is complete list of the en-
tries:
