Three years ago these brokers proposed
to take UP the old bonds and to give
new cnes therefore at a lower rate OF
interest and more convenient terms of
payment Coffin & Stanton did not pay
cash for the bonds as required by law
and soon afterward failed, claiming to
have disposed of the refunding bonds,

The Racing Season Promises to be
a Brilliant One.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 31.-The rae
ing season for 1S91-9S which begins
tomorrow at Ingleside promises to be
an exceptionally brilliant one At a
rough estimate there are at least 500
horses ready to start, including about
100 from the East and many more are
headed Westward, so that there will be
no lack of horses and the class will
be as good, if not better. than last sea-
son, which is saying a good deal.
Everything is N readiness for the
barrier to fly up on the opening event
of the first days sport, and as some
S30,O have been expended between
seasons, racegoers will probably find
many improvements both in the
grounds and accommodations. The ho-
tel corridors We're crowded last evening
with horsemen, bookmakers and race
track habitues from all over the coun>
try and the interest displayed in the
meeting is keener than ever before.
Several hundred people watched the
horses work out early this morning and
during the afternoon thousands drove
out to the track and inspected the ar
rangements and such of the equine eel
ebrities as were on view in their stalls.
The judges stand will be occupied by
Joseph A. Murphy, j. W. Wilson and
Harry Kuhl, while James F. Caldwell,
the Prince Of starters" will do the
starting and for the first time on a
regular racing day at Ingleside will use
the recall flag.
The card for the opening day is a
fairly attractive one. The feature is
