OVER THIRTY
HORSES AT TRACK
Many More Coming from A
Quarters---Fred Smith Owns
Virgie A.

The meeting of the Jockey Club gave
stimulus to operations at the track,
and yesterday morning was busy one
in several stables. Among those that
worked last Tuesday were Albert NJ
Artie w, Tom Ryder, Los Angeles,
and Faro Bank. Ryder put in
heat in little better than
2:3O, going to the half in Ill. 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 il 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:
Runners-Indra, Weller. Vioris, Wa
tossa, Gaiety Girl, sorrel FLY by Lord

Venus, Jennie H. Total, II.

! Colonel Spaulding's three Hawaiian

Octoroon was logged seven miles on
Wednesday and finished up all right.
| Her blistered leg is apparently doing
| well.
Tom Ryder's mark is 2:131a. He and
Belle Button held the double team rec
ord of 2:161a.
! Ayres P's mark is 2:211s, made at
| Kirkwood, Delaware. Both he and
Tom Ryder are for sale.
Tom Ryder goes to the wire with all
his old-time 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. II I
! 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 G. III. Judd, has gone
away. He was brought here last year
| by H. Deaker, of Maui.
| George Carriers PAGER, Ruby, now at
! the track, is the horse supposed to
have been maliciously blfstered 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.
judas bay PAGER by Dawn Maud, is
bred for speed, and is a 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 a really good looking horse. He is
also not devoid of speed.
George Pippin is helping Aleck Har-
ris with his string.
Nongoose II, the PAGER recently
shipped here from Kauai, was bred in
California, and born in the Islands.
Tom Hollingers new mare is called
Jennie H, 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-
ton.
