Two Montana horses. Ostler Joe and
/ Yule ran first and second i'm the last
| race at lngleside yesterday.
Mat Storm came mighty close to kill
| ing the ring in the first race with De-
fiant. Backed down from 80 to II 10 J.,
! the colt was away from the post poorly
and then ran a bangup second.
In the East, judging from her rec
ord, Miss Lyman found five furlongs too
/ far. IL seems as though California at
mosphere must have already worked
wonders with her staying qualities.

News comes from ireland that the
starting machine which was tried at
Leopardstown recently. created a most
favorable impression upon all unpreju
diced spectators. Ten horses went to
the one selected for the trial. and al
though of course none of them were
used to II, they were sent off to an eX-
cellent start without the slightest de-
lay or diffieulty.-English Sporting Eek.
Mr.. james X. Keene's colors will be
seen more frequently in England next
season than they have heretofore, so it
is rumored. Mr.. Keene is so careful to
conceal his plans, however, that one
cannot say positively anything con-
corning either Mr.. Keene or his stable
but the rumors of his sending half a
dozen two-year-olds to England have
good foundation. 1t seems to have be-
come very fashionable for Americans
to be represented on the English turf,
especially since the indomitable Tod
Sloane met with such success on the
other side. This does not mean that
Mr., keene will do as Mr.. Lorillard has
done, withdraw from the American turf
altogether. but will have good horses
on both sides of the Atlantic.
The sensational race of the California
winter season, the Burns so, 900 hand1-
cap, has secured no less than eighty
seven entries. and the class on the ag-
gregate, is the best ever known in the
West and compares very favorably
with either the Brooklyn or Suburban
handicap. Neither one of the crack
eastern events this year secured any
thing like such a big entry list. The
Wheel of Fortune captured the Burns
handicap in 1885, while the brilliant vic
tory OF Ruinart in 1897 over The Ro-
man and Salvation will long live in
the memory of those fortunate enough
to be present
If anything the coming Burns handi-
cap should not suffer in comparison

The judges are investigating the run
ming Of imp Trance and her trainer,
Dan Halliday. Snider. who rode the
mare the day Horatio and Libertine
beat her, We're sent for yesterday by the
Judges and stated that Halliday asked
him TO ride the mare and that he said
she has no chance TO beat Libertine
and Horatio will he better price for
place. Snider understood by this con-
versation that he was TO place the
mare. Halliday denies that he ever had
such a conversation with Snyder. The
judges announced late yesterday after
noon that they had suspended Snyder
and would in all probability rule off
Trance and Halliday.-Chronicle.
