the silversmith's and engraver's art. 1t is
the most beautiful trophy yet offered in
connection with race in this part of the
country, and is admired by all. The
Spreckels cup is down for decision IN the
near future at 1ngleside track.
The action of the California Jockey Club
in setting Fe bruary 20 as the date tor the
decision of the four mile stake race, TO be
decided at the Emeryville track, is shabby
to say the least yet perfectly in keeping
with the greedy, grasplng policy OF that
track. Some weeks ago the lDgleslde man
agement, following the custom observed
by all first-class racing organizations, an
nounced that the four-mile stake event
would be decided on February %. Wash
ington's birthday, thus affording the gen.
eral public an opportunity of Witnessing
the big race. Now at this late date comes
the ultimatum of the California Jockey
Club folks announcing that the long dis
tance affair on its calendar of events will
be run on February %, just two DAYS
prior to the Ingleside race. 1t looks like
a bit of sharp practice on the part OF the
people across the bay.
The Ingleside Association is boasting
over it's card for Wednesday Cradles
day'') and Secretary w. S. Leake grows
iubilant at mention of it. Seldom has
track in the West offered the public such
an excellent programme of events, all at
distances of a mile or over. The idea of
getting up such a card originated with
Ingleside's energetic and hard-working
secretary and Mr.. Leake is entitled to
much credit for doing away with the
short bred" distances that have such
little charms for patrons OF the turf.
Wednesday bids fair to be a banner day at
the local track.
Collins, winner of the opening race, mas
undergone the operation of nervlng and
altogether is a pretty bad cripple.
"Curly" Shields says he thinks hoodoo
hovers over his brown colt Scimiiar. He
is an uncertain performer and has cost his
owner many losing bets.
Captive didn't appear to be up to much
Yesterday. He must have been sadly out
of form to have been beaten so badly in
the ordinary time OF 1 :42 for the mile.
In letter received by turfman in this
City recently the news was conveyed that
the pooling privileges for the Montana
circuit will be controlled the coming sea-
son by Ed Upton.
Secretary Leake of the Ingleside asso-
citation is in receipt of letter from
Colonel Sanders D. Bruce, in which that
gentleman states that the Jockey Club
does not and never will own the Stud
Book The Turf, Field and Farm of Janu-
ary also publishes the following i'm
portant notice to breeders from the pen of
Colonel Bruce:
Dear Sir: desire to call your attention to
the following notice from E. c. Hopper, secre-
tary of the American Turf Congress: ''All
horses will have to be registered in Bruces
American Stud Book before they will be per-
mitted to start on Turf Congress tracks"
No foals of 1896 reported to the Jockey Club
and paid for TO them have been reported to
me, Notwithstanding l have frequently re-
quested them to do SO and to pay over to me
one-half of the registration fees in accordance
with the agreement between me and the Jockey
club.
Reports to the Jockey Club were made at my
request by circular issued in compliance with
that agreement with the understanding that
the pay ment of the registration fee OF 81 per
head for native and So for imported horses
would insure entry in the Stud Book and half
the fees would be paid to me for such entry.
AS the Turf Congress rules require reg
istration in the Stud Book before horse can
race on Turf Congress tracks the action
OF the Jockey Club as above stated there
ported to them from racing on Turf Con-
gress tracks, and disqualifies as we'll the
foals of other years reported to them and
not registered in the Stud Book. If, therefore,
you desire your foals regis tel ed in the Stud
Book, it will be necessary for you to send me
mares as were barren, slipped foals and
were not bred in 1895 10 make the record
complete. The Jockey Club has been paid 81
and So respectively for native and imported
horses, and by virtue OF my agreement with
the Jockey Club entities them to registry in
the Stud Book without additional charges to
the breeder. The rules prohibit the repetition
OF names, except by the addition of a numeral'
and claims Tor names Will be registered in order
of priority. BY the Withholding OF the foals
of 1896 the compilation of volume VII of the
Stud Book has also been greatly delayed.
