Stable Gossip

The turfmen of Butte and the patrons
of the pool rooms have been rejoicing
over the show made on the tracks by the
strings from Montana. There We're sew
eral strings from this state in California
and lately the winnings of these horses
have been frequent and large enough to
take out the wrinkles caused by COM
paratively long absence from the one-two-
three order at the wire.

has been upholding the plaid. black cap
and sash colors with relishable regularity
and some good winnings have been re-
corded by the hackers of the stable Lord
Chesterfield. Dan Dennison's old jumper,
who failed to land more than baled hay
money here last summer has been going
in good form down on the coast and has
given a very good account of himself.
He went over the jumps the other day
heavily backed by Morehouse, who has
recently come into possession of the cam
paigner, and unfortunately stumbled and
fell going over the hurdle. The accident
dumped a large wad Of money the wrong
way.
After the first of the year likely lot
of Bitter Rioters will enter the races in
California when more good news for the
state is expected.

numbers can begin figuring on the win

fornia few days ago Barney was ac-
tually born on the 18th of the month:
Floridan was just 10 days off the cars:
his number on the programme was 10
and Barney's box in the betting ring was
No. 10.
