RACING AGAIN
ON THIS SIDE
Ingleside Furnishes a Great
Card of Running
Events.
A Number of Eastern Horses at
the Barrier for the First
Time.
Damien and Salisbury II Will Try
Conclusions Over Mile-The
Coming Winters Sale.

BY far the most attractive card of the
season is the one offered race goers to-day
at Ingeside, the opening day OF the semi
monthly meeting. The good horses who
have gradually been keyed up to it, are
beginning to make their appearance and
the splendid 10. of entries in the different
events TO be decided this afternoon has
awakened renewed interest in the game.
The action of the Ingleside Association
in offering $500 purse each day for race
over distance of ground, meets with the
hearty approval of all owners and the
Pacific Coast Jockey Club is To be con-
graduated for its enterprise. Too many
dog" dashes work detriment to the
sport and are not popular with the public.
Among the starters which will face the
barrier to-day for the first time on either
OF the local courses are: Tom Gilmore,
Morte Fonse, The Dragon, Salvation,
Woodchopper, Clisse B and Gutta Percha,
all very good performers. In the mile
dash Salisbury Ii, who was worked on a
full mile, which he finished in 1:40L at
the concl usion of his winning race at oak
land on Saturday, will lock horns with
Pat DUNES Damien, and it will not be
surprising if the track record of :4iN is
lowered.
Charles Carmichael, owner of the WELL
known racehorse, Cash Day. registe red at
q downtown hotel last evening from Chi
cago.
Alb Stemler has been obliged to retire
some of the Ell Primero stable horses
temporarily on account of various all
ments. The speedy Fleur de Lis broke
down and Lodestar is also in bad way
from lameness. Pueno, the black horse,
is not doing well, and altogether the
string is in badly crippled condition.
Marty Bergen, the quiet and gentle
manly jockey from. New York, is back
with us again this winte-. Marty may
possibly not ride with the same dash and
vfgor of former days, but he is honest and
his mounts always come in for substantial
backing.
Reports from New York say the popu-
lar trainer James Mccormick is not
mending very rapidly. His little son and
daughter will leave here for home on Sat-
urday next and rumor has it that the
trainers condition is very prscarious.
The yearlings from Theodore Winters
Rancho del Sierra-twenty-one in all
will pass under the hammer on Wednes-
day evening, December 3, at Kilip & Co.'S
salesyard, Market street and Van Ness
avenue, and a superb-Iooking lot they are.
james Grant, manager for Mr.. Winters,
has charge OF the youngsters. and with
great deal of pride shows the racy-looking
sons and daughters OF I'll Rio Key and Joe
Hooker to visitors. Among those to be
sold are a brother to Belle Boyd, full
brother to Bonanza and a brother to
Quantrell. In abiding TO the latter hand
some colt, Mr.. Grant says if he is not
racehorse he will quit guessing. filly
by Ell Rio Rey from the great mare Louise
NJ is considered one of the stars OF the
sale. In 1892. at Chicago, Louise NJ
showed the way to Racine in mile and
furlong stake event. the first mile of which
was covered in 1881.
Speaking of Ell Rio Rey, who swept
everything before him as a two-year old
and was the idol of American racegoers,
Manager Grant says the big chestnut
looks in grand condition and acts as
though he would like once more to an
swer the post call. What a rare drawing
card he would be if Mr.. Winters could be
induced to exhibit him at the coming
Horse Show.
The California Jockey Club will put a
large force of men at work tomorrow
