Out at the Ingleside track is a force
OF men at work beautifying the grounds
and making many improvements.
The Pacific Coast Jockey Clubs new house
will be com pleted by October 1. In order
to avoid the possibility of the electric-cars
frightening fractions teams the carriage
entrance has been placed at the corner
near the 1ngleside House, and the drive to
the grand stand will be on the inside of
the inclosure and away from the cars.
For some time past the management shas
had number of landscape gardeners at
work at the track, and before long some of
the prettiest landscape gardening in the
State can be seen there.
Applications for stalls have been COM
ing in SO fast that the management will
be compelled to build several new barns
for next winter. Advlces from the East
give the information that all the stables
here last winter will return this year. and
in addition will come many of the large
stables that have never been here. 1t is
expected that this will be one of the live
lest racing seasons ever experienced on
the coast.
The Markets street Railway Company is
now putting in machinery for much more
power than it had last season. More cars
will be put on the road, and the large
crowds that are expected to attend the
races will be handled with ease and COM
fort.
