The horsemen were especially busy
but found time to show the reporter
around and extol the virtues of the
seventy or more trim animals installed

paratory to showing an admirng public

is quite we'll known hereabouts, being the
property of A. d. Eglin. He has a one
eighth record of IL seconds.
Ida H., black 5-year-old mare, bids
fair to carry off some of the laurels at the
coming meet, if training and previous
records count for anything. She was
bred on the big California horse ranch of
j. B. Higgins, and made her record of
| 40 at the St. Louis races. She is here
in charge of William Empey, who has
made the races in Butte and Anaconda

| Begonia, the little sorrel who will be
remembered by all the patrons of the
track as the winner of the derby two
years ago, is again here prepared to DO
good work. Nervoso, brother to Luz
cretia Borgia, the mare that lowered the
famous Lenbrook's record IL seconds last
spring at Oakland, is doing good work
on the track and will doubtless show up
some of the fast blood from which he
springs.
All in all, the horses now on the
grounds, and those expected in this week,
make up an aggregation that is hard to
beat in the west. Those who claim to
know say that the races of next week
will be the best, weather permitting, ever
seen in this state.
