| SAN FRANCISCO, July 31-Lovers
of the harness horse turned out in full
force to-day at the Oakland track, the
| occasion being the initial meeting of
the California Grand Circuit. Not for
years has there been such a large as
| semblage, and the Directors of the
| Breeders Association feel highly graft
fed at the substantial indication of a
revival of interest in the sport of the
sulky. The sport was clean, exciting
in spots, and punctured with uncer-
tainty. Rudolph Spreckels' mare An
ME Rooney captured the 2:25 pace in
creditable style, her hackers getting
| good odds for their money. The SEN
sation of the day was the splendid
form shown by Jack W., the winner of
the opening event. He is by Waldstein,
and is from Eureka, and this is his
| first appearance in this part of the
country. The fast time of 2:1212 which
he made in the first heat shows that
he ranks among the best trotters now
in California. For the opening event,
2:19 tICt, Dione was the favorite, but
could not give Jack w. a run, the
latter winning the first heat in 2:1215.
Peko took the third heat. In the fourth
Jack w. led all the way. The 2:13
trot narrowed down to a duel between
Galetee and Jasper Ayres, the former
| winning in straight heats. The pac-
| ing, 2:2o class, was taken by Annie
Rooney in three straights. Summaries:
