october morning. and stopped in to see
the horses at their work.

Schultz, owner of Honolulu, the Allan
IA Derby winner, says he feels sure
that this old campaigner will be able
to foot the circle in 1:S9.

Fred Kraft sent w. c. John for

leg up, and informed the group of
trainers present that he could easily

The two best jockeys who will ride
at the coming meeting are now on the
ground. Jesse Conley, known as
Long. Shot Conley, the colored boy,
can be seen any morning exercising
the horses of his employer, Harry
Schultz. Conley led the jockeys at At
lanta, winning nine races and being
several times second and third.
Jockey Singleton was second on the
list with eight firsts. This boy is now
riding for Fred Kraft. The last sum-
mer he was employed by S. w. Street
& Co., who raced at st. Louis and
Canada. Conley and Singleton both
want to head the list here and there
will surely be some hot finishes when
these boys hook up together in a dr1v-
ing finish.
