DOlNGS IN HORSEDOM.
Dan Honig, the st. Louis Turfman,
Arrives With His Stable of
Racers-Notes.


AS the racing season in the East draws
to close the pilgrimage of horsemen and
bookmakers TO California increases.
Among the arrivals at Ingle tide track yes
terday was the Jolly ST. Louis owner, Dan
Honig. accompanied by his brotner-in-
law. big "Bill' Henry. who is manager of
the stable. Mr.. Honig brought the crack
chestnut Magnet; the two-year-old platter
lamar ii, who won over dozen races at
st. Louis; Lizzie II, of Garner and silken
cord fame; Battledore; Tom Elmore, a
very useful horse, and Rosella, filly,
who formerly carried the Morris ali-scar-
let colors. The horses arrived il good
condition, but very weary. Peach"
Honig, the owners son, will do the train
ing.
The stables jockeys are Charley Nc
Donald, who can ride at 108 pounds, and a
79- 9-pound lad named Rector, who gives
promise of becoming a good rider. Mr..
Honig said that he had a large specially
arranged box stall made for Magnet in the
car, but the big chestnut stood up during
the entire journey. Mr.. Honig brought
Sweet Favorable, owned by Burns e.
Waternouse, out with his string.
In the same car with the Honig horse
came four owned by Tom Kiley, the best
Walter NJ. Lemore. t.. e Texas horseman,
will arrive at Ingleside fIom Ell Paso to-
morrow with stable OF five horses. The
Texan was here two years ago with CO.
checo Brownwood, Boston Boy and Rube
Burrows, each of which earned numerous
winning brackets.
Billy" McGrane is also due here to-
morrow from st. Louis with string of
fifteen. McGrap- is well known to the
horse world as the owner of the good colt
of two years ago, Frank K.
Harry Hoffman, partner in the book
making business with Frank Eckert. got
in town from Chicago yesterday. He was
accompanied by his brother Jess.
The recent rains caused several wash
outs in the new Oakland track which are
now being filled in by workmen. Had
the downpour been more severe much
damage to the course would have resulted,
it is said.
1t is understood the California Jockey
Club has concluded to allow Willie Martin
will probably come next, and that un-
popular ruling will be remembered only
as streak of poor diplomacy on the part
of the officials of that club.
Captain Rees, presiding judge at Ingle-
side, accompanied by Mr.. Hunt, one OF
the leading merchants of Memphis, Tenn.
paid the Park and Cliff House visit
fatuated with the beauties of Sutro
Hei hts and the peoples pleasure ground.
