A DrCmnent Butte sportsman ex-
pressed himself the other day as being
satisfied thar there VIII lie 4ap.us nera
next summer. Dave Lawrence went
east last week, but will he hack early in
DecaTiaer. There seems to Zee a great
deal ofdOubt as to the real situation, and
sC-ne horsCrs,sn have little or no faith
in the prospect. Time will doubtless
eluc!date things, and in the mean time
those who like to see the ponies go can
only hope.
Bulslnan ussd to gallcp horses at the
Butte track the season before he made
his debut as jockey, and 1t was a COM
mon remark among the horsemen that
1e was a likely bit of riding material.
He had ma auraily perfect seat, hands,
temper and judgment, and that most
necessary ana least plentiful quality, the
ability to set along with his horse. In
exercising or warming UP, it was very
noticeable how easily his mounts would
work, without. fretting or temper, while
the little frecked kid sat quiet and
haJpy, a born horsenan.
asst Friday Bul.Inan took exception to
some remarks Of Jockey COburn. and
..nardsl him one" on the jaw in the
jockey room that put Coburn Temporal
rily cut of business. The result was that
Bulinan was suspended and excluded
from tine course for thirty days. As he
is about The only tirst-class jockey in
Frisco at present. this is rather serious,
particularly for Hildreth who has first
call on his services.e However, it is re-
ported that the only "Tod" is on his way
10 ct nj |
so the dearth Of g ID jockeys will not
last long.
Gauntlet has developed into sulker.
In his race last week, Bullman had to
:'fan' him to some purpose. 1t seems
to be Bulfnan's specially to take some
stale sullly or soft hearted brute, and
simply make him run whether he wants
ITO or not. He lights into them with such
vigor that they never set time to throw
their tails up.
Tanforan Park opened last Monday
with q new coterie of officials j. +.
Pettingill is presiding judge: Ed. Cole,
associate; Ed Power, clerk Of the scales;
and Richard Dwyer is starter. Mr..
Dwyer will not use a recall flag. 1T re-
mains to be seen whether starting with
out it will be more satisfactory than with
it, If Mr.. DWyer Dis man enough to make
the Jockeys toe the scratch, and 1t is
reported that he is it is dollars to dough-
nuts on the gate without the recaH
nbuminat tion There may be horse left
occasionally, hut that happens anyway.
THE first time the starting gate was
used in America r. e. de B. Lopez start
ed seven races in one afternoon, and the
longest time at the post in the seven
was 80 seconds, every start being prac-
tically perfect.
Tod Sloan says he can get along with
put the Prince of Wales, but doubts If
the Prince can get along without him. 1t
may be possible for the British gov
ernment to survive Tods departure.
Grand Sachem,, a Bitter Root horse,
did not do much to them last Saturday
at Oakland. He won at mile and
sixteenth with only IS to l against him.
On the same day Horton won the Golden
Gate selling stakes, and after the race
.Daggie" Smith sold him to Sam Hill
dreth for $1,000. Horton ran here in 1897.
He then belonged to BY Holly, who
died here. Holly owned Hor, as dam,
grand dam and great grand dam. and
won good races with all of them. Hor-
ton was a good colt that year.
Old Osler Joe. the idol of Butte racing
men. won at five furlongs at Tanforan
on Wednesday, slow race, as the track
was heavy. Osler Joe could always car
ry wagon load of Butte money.
Jockey McGint was probably fatally
injured at Cincinnati last week. His
horse fell and the others ran over and
trampled him
1t is reported that Jockey Lester Reiff
and Trainer Wishard will sue Lord Dur
ham for libel. The talk about Americans
pulling and ''doFing'' horses appears to
have ended in a fizzle
Rolling Boer seems to be pounds the
best two-year-old in San Francisco thus
far. He is somewhat of a loafer in the
stretch, but if his jacket is properly
busted. he gives the others of his age
from 20 pounds up and walks in.
AT a dope" meeting in London on
Monday last the audience, composed of
interested "touts' who had been losing
rnoney because of the winning races that
the American jockeys had been riding,
made great harangue about American
methods of riding, the way they cared
for their horses, and almost everything
except the subject for which the meet
ing was called, that of proving i'm
proper and dishonest methods of racing.
THE chairman stood it as long as he could
and then called the house to order, de-
manding that all those who had any
facts and direct accusations to make,
should hold up their hands and be reg
fstered for order of speaking. Not a man
