John R. Gentry 2:O31a, was the first
harness performer to beat 2;05 during
the month of June.
The attendance at the trotting events
in the east this year is greater than it
has ever been.
The New York Sun says: IF we are
to take the trotting and pacing of the
past month as any indication of what
might be expected later on when the
trotting season is at it's zenith and the
big meetings. are in progress. the year
1895 Will prove the most successful in
the history Of the sport"
STAN B., 2:l1a4, is the best Agar old
stallion in California this season, says
the Breeder and Sportsman He is a
race horse. His race with Toggles at
Napa Wednesday will compare favora-
bly, with the exciting one in which he
was engaged with the mighty Zombro
over the same course last season. Ha
is a corker! NJ. Delano ploted him on
both occasions.

Don Roberto,s the handsome brown
three-year- colt belonging to NJ S.
Severance of Los Angeles, got a mark
of 2:25h in the trotting race won by
Local at Napa on the Sth inst. Don Ro-
berto is by Sidney, 2:19A. out of Fan.
by Signal. He trotted in a race or two
as a two-year-old. but has grown so
large and strong during the past year
| he hardly looks like the same horse.
The black mare Galette, that won the
2:2 class trot at Napa on the 7th inst,
in 2:161a, 2:19A and 2:20, was bred at

! She will be in the free for all class before

A great many people, says the Exam
iner. were disappointed at Napa when
the free for all pace, in which Waldo j.,
and W.WoOd were entered, was declared
off, The Wood people We're confident
Of victory believing that on Napa's
track w. Wood would redeem the lau-
rels lost at the Ingleside meeting. They
| maintain that Waldo J. was most for
tunate in the event. He drew the pole,
and this fact permitted him to have the
inside of the track, which was quite
hard. Wood had to take the outside,
which was soft and cuppy. The sup
porters of Wood contend that he never
will try to pace on a cuppy track. He
was in fine fettle at Napa, and as the
track was hard, sensational race would
most likely have resulted, had not the
race been declared off. They will prob
ably come together at Petaluma.
Charles Durfee, the veteran reinsman,
was in the city Friday, says the Chroni-
Gle. Durfee has had many a good per-
former on the circuit. but he regards
Zombro as the greatest of them ALL
In discussing the merits of Zombro and
STAN B., Durfee paid high triute to
the son of Stamboul, but stated that
Zombro could have accomplished some
thing last season If necessary that would
have been unparalleled in the history of
| harness racing. In the race at Los An
| geles where STAN B. made Zombro step
| those fast miles, Durfee states that he
| ic nOsitive he could have driven tba
| three-year- son of Mckinney a mile
| in 2:08. 1t will be remembered that
| Zombro went through one of the great
| est campaigns ever made by a three
year-old trotter, and the report that
| Beckers had turned the colt over to An
dy Mcdowell has created no little sur
prise in light-harness circles. Beckers
| originally announced that Zombro was
| not to be campaigned this year, and that
| if he should Durfee was to handle the
| colt.
