ed. Mr.. Caldwell's excellent average of
work last season and his present good
form makes his appointment a piece of
welcome news.
Kentucky John" Owens has 16 Of J.
Naglee Burke's horses at the Oakland

time. and the winners first out.
Gold Finder, by imp. Cliveden out of
Mistake, the dam Of Gilead and other
good ones. is a two-year-old that will
bear watching in ordinary company. He
is owned by Matt Storm, and if he had
any other boy than ]. Woods up last Fri
day would have won the fifth race, which
Jones took on Gundara. He was played
down from Is to 31a, and a big coup would
have been brought off by his victory.
That speedy mare, May w. scored
twice this week. making four successive
wins in as many starts this season. She
has filled out wonderfully, which deceiv-
ed superficial observers on her first APP
pearance, who thought her fat and above
herself. The a in which she disposed,
on a heavy track. of Pat Morrissey, flush
proves that she will be a hare horse to
beat in almost any kind of a race this sea-
son.
Plan and Forte are two more winners
the first time out, but Barney Schreiber's
bay geldlng, brother in blood to this
year . Los angeles Leroy WINTER. uiu
not make a good showing his second APP
p~earance.
Bathos. who was a fast youngster last
spring, is a two-year-old that will do to
keep a watchful eye on this winter. He
picked up to Ill to los pounds on Bit of
Fashion and 101 pounds on Princess Zeika
in a seven-furlong race last Wednesday
and made these two fast 1illies look
pretty cheap. Distance Won't trouble
him now.
The Los Angeles meeting, which closed
We Sterday, has been the most successful
one ever held in that city, over Is 1000
people turned out both yesterday and
last Saturday 20 witness the battles be-
tween the three pacing stars. Joe Patch
en-. Anaconda and John r. Gentry. The
last named on both occasions proved the
victor in straight heats, lowering the
wood at Santa Ana two years ago, by two
and three seconds respectively on OctO-
Der q. and again yesterday still further
reducing it by three quarters of a sec
ond. his time being 2:O4A and 2:03I. Tom
Heating appeared in the sulky for the
first time since une at Denver, II held
the reins over Anaconda on the 21st,
getting the Californian into second posi-
ton, but he only drove in the one heat
yesterday. In both heats yesterday the
California PAGER led to the quarter in $3.50,
half in 1:01a. and three quarters in 1:32.
but in both finished from a length and q
half to three lengths behind the winner,
in third position.
"Curley'' Shields''s br. g. Forts. by
imp. Fortissimo, GU. of Philura, clearly
showed he can go a route by the manner
in which he won the Los Angeles Derby,
Rey del San Juan and others. The horse
would not work before the race. being
quite sore, and Shields did not think he
could win.
The success of the Los Angeles meet
ing should be productive of efforts next
year on the part of the different agri-
cultural districts to secure big attrac-
tons. If in a town like Los Angeles. not
given to racing, 5000 people will turn
out. what would they do here?
