taking off, and his leaving is due to large
quantity of correspondence that has lately
taken place between II. B. Gleezen, the
manager of tie Stearns racing team, which
is now at Santa Monica, and E. c. Stearns,
who is the president of the Stearns Manu-
featuring company and vice-president OF
the Syracuse Cycle company. Rigby had
agreed to train with Gleezen, and under
his guidance to go for records. When Rig
by was made an offer by Shafer he at once
accep ed, and then Gleezen protested 10
the house that he represented. As a con-
sequence, Rigby now finds himself out of
the going at both ends. for he has been re-
leased by the Syracuse people, and will not
be hired by the Stearus company. Verify,
the life of the record breaker is a hard one
Gleezen seems to be amply satisfied with
the men that he has selected to break rec
ords for the Stearns wheel. 1t is we'll
known that Wilbur Edwards can follow
any pace that may start in front of him,
while the limit of X d Kiser's speed behind
pace has not yet been found and seems a
long way off yet. With proper training
Will Hatton should be able to cut his own
pace for distances as fast as any man in
the country, and when he &c 8 to work on
time something will probably drop with
that peculiar thud which the intelligent
reader has heard SO much about. More
over, the pacemakers that Gleezen has got
together are a set considerably out of the
ordinary, and 1t will not be for want of
pace that the records cannot be cracked
Altogether there is very bright outlook

AT AGRICULTURAL PARK

Out at Agricultural park the horses are

of racing. When the rain comes they will
of necessity be laid off for while, but in
The herald., 1896-01-13

The absolute destitution of events in the
sporting world lately has been no doubt
due largely to the fact that the holidays are
just over and horsemen and athletes are
getting ready for summer work. Locally
the sporting circles are in a state of stag
nation, though there are faint rumors of
events to come.
The end OF the Pasadena meet is not yet.
In addition to complaints concerning the
value of prizes, there are other and graver
rumors involving we'll known business men
of Pasadena in wrong-doing. While there
is no definite foundation for the implica-
ton of any of these gentlemen, still there
is plenty of foundation for charges being
made against someone, and there is no
doubt of the ultimate outcome. 1t would
be great pity if monetary scandal should
