The meeting Of the Jockey Club gave
a stimulus to operations at the track,
and yesterday morning was busy one

and Faro Bank. Ryder put in
"A heat i'm a little better than
2:3O, going to the half in I'll. Others
worked worse than 2:30. So far, no
really fast work has been done, but
from now on speedy heats may be
looked for.
The runners have, with an exception
or two only done steady galloping up
to the present, but it won't be long be-
fore fantastic daybreak trials will be
the order of the day.
The number of horses in training at
or near the track at present is thirty
two, which is made up of the following
classes:

Octoroon was logged seven miles on
w tuHtSiay anu lIIllSItu up dll liSHt
Her blistered leg is apparently doing
well.
Tom Ryder's mark is 2:13k. He and
Belle Button held the double team rec
ord of 2:161a.
Ayres P's mark is 2:21h made at
kirkwood, Delaware. Both he and
Tom Ryder are for sale.
Tom Ryder goes to the wire with all
his old-tme fire, and the love of rae
ing is surely in his bones. King Dade
stood by the gate when Ryder was
scoring yesterday, and was heard to
remark to himself:
Sweet as a peach; I've bet on the
old horse time and time again, and he's
taken me all over the country. If 1
have fifty cents I'll bet on him again,
and I'll win; yes, I'll cert'nly win"
The 2:14 class, best three heats in
five, promises to eclipse the free-for- all
in point of interest this year. Among
the eligible starters are Octoroon, Faro
Bank, Irish Lassie, Violin, Los Angeles,
Tom Ryder and John d.
George Thomas will receive Amarino
to train for Bob Ballentyne, in a day
or so.
Star. the Hawaiian bred PAGER, re-
Gently trained by c. II. Judd, has gone
away. He was brought here last year
by II. Decker, of Maui.
George Carter's PAGER, Ruby, now at
the track, is the horse supposed to
nave Detn 1ndllclOuSlN DllSteTeu last
year. Ruby was to have been driven
in the gentlemen's race, but was with
drawn on account of the injury, and
the race fell through. Ruby's name
among the help is Steam Plow, but
from a speed standpoint, the nomen-
clature is singularly inappropriate.
Judds bay PAGER, by Dawn Maud, is
bred for speed, and is most promis-
ing greenhorn. His parents could both
go close to 2:1S. He is not likely to be
raced until next season, when he
should be a good one
Gaiety Girl is looking well, and is
liable to make repayment for her two
years of idleness
Wayboy has greatly improved in ap-
pearance, and with flesh on his bones,
is really good looking horse. He is
also not devoid of speed.
George Pippin is helping Aleck Har-
ris with his string.
Mongoose II, the PAGER recently
shipped here from Kauai. was bred in
California, and born in the Islands
Tom Hollingers new mare is called
Jennie II, after Mrs. Hollinger. The
program name has not developed yet
and is being kept a profound secret.
Fred Smith is now the owner of Vir-
gle A, and is willing to meet any
horse on the Island at six furlongs or
under.
Prince David has made extensive i'm
provements in his stabling. and his
stalls are now fit for equine habita-
