PONY RACING AT SAN MATEO.
Exciting Sport Promised When the
Thoroughbreds in Miniature Start.

Exciting Sport Promised When the
Thoroughbreds in Miniature Start.
The officials of the California Polo
and Pony Racing Association are en-
thusiastic over the prospects for their
meeting at Burlingame during
Thanksgiving week. There will be
three days devoted to polo and two
to racing.
The private race course of Charles
W. Clark is undergoing a transforma-
ton under the skillful touch of Sec
retary Robert Leighton of the asso
citation, assisted by D. w. Donnelly,
MIR. Clark's representative.
The finishing post has been moved
down the track some distance, thus
allowing a longer stretch run and
making the finishes more spectacular.
The track has been reduced TO a
width Of thirty-five feet. which is pro-
nounced ample for pony racing, in
which the fiehis are seldom large. The
space saved will be used for parking
the other traps, from which the spec
tators can have an unobstructed view
of the course.
On the two days of racing a special
train will leave Third and Townsend
streets at L o'clock, returning after
the last race. The fare will be 81,
which will include admission to the
track.
w. E. Pedley is due tomorrow from
Los Angeles with fifteen ponies. The
best of his string are Carlotta and
Queen Rucker. H. S. Praed and F.
D. Hudson will also come north. They
will ride in the races and will also
play polo.
The polo games will be played on
the Country Club field at Burlingame.
General A. w. Barrett will act as
presiding judge at the race meeting.
Major ]. L. Rathbone and John Par
rott have been invited to act as stew
ards.
Rudolph Spreckels' string Of ten
ponies will be brought down to-day
from his Napa establishment, where
they have been in training, and will
be stabbed on the Clark place at San
Mateo.
Walter s. Hobart has a number of
smart ponies in training. including
the famous Silver Dick.

SIDNEY DILLON
WILL BE SOLD

Sidney Dillon. sire of Lou Dillon,
the first trotter to reach the two
minute mark. left Santa Rosa Satur-
day afternoon by the Southern Pa
cific for New York. where he will go
under the hammer at the Old Glory
sale in Madison-square Garden on
the 21st inst. At the same sale Arion
(2:07 ~. whose two-year-ol record
of 2:10A z to high wheels has never
been equaIed by any other two-year-
old even with the aid of a pneumatic
sulky and a wind shield, will also be
offered. There is much speculation
as to which stallion will bring the
most money. Arion was sold by his
breeder, Senator Stanford. to the late
Malcolm Forbes for $125,00O. This
is the highest price ever paid for
trotting bred horse. but that was in
boom davs, and he cannot be expected
to bring more than a fifth of that sum
now. The sale will be a noted one,
as sixteen highly bred and we'll
known stations have been consigned
to if, among them Idolita (2:09A),
Directly (2:0S4), Delmarch (2:11 J.,
Jupe (2:07M) and others. Directly Is
a PAGER and holds a champion record.
In 1894 he paced a mile in 2:07 q as
two-vear-old, a mark that has not
been beaten since. He knocked a
quarter second off that record as
three-year-old, but was on the shelf
for three years and was reckoned a
cripple until George West took charge
of him and reduced his mark to
2:0SA in a race.
EXHIBITION BY SWEET MARIE.
Lovers of the harness horse in Los
Angeles are waiting for Thanksgiving
day to give the champion mare Sweet
Marie (2:O4M) a grand reception.
The Driving Club of that city will hold
an afternoon of matinee racing on
that day, and William Garland,
owner Of the mare, has promised to
drive her an exhibition mile. She
reached home in the pink of condi-
ton and does not bear the faded out
appearance that most campaigners
have at the close of the season. Her
rugged strength and vitality are re-
markable.
Monroe Salisbury. the king maker"
reached home some days since from his
successful campaign with the East View
Farm Stable on the Grand Circuit. II
was the largest money winning stable
out this year. with close to $4,000 to
its credit. Charles de Ryder, the
farms principal reinsman, stood sec
ond only to Ed Geers in the list of
money winning drivers. Geers drove
for many different owners.
Since Mckinney left California there
has been considerable rivalry among
horsemen as to which owns the best

Denver, Dec. 24--Three more election
officials were sent TO Jail by the SUI
preme court today for contempt. MAX
ing a total of thirty who have been
sentenced for violations of the court S
injunction issued prior to the November
election.
Clarence 2. Dixon, clerk in precinct
Is, ward 3, was sentenced to Jail for
four months and fined $3.50 and costs.
The court said the evidence showed
there had been repeating and wilful
miscUunt of votes i'm this precinct in
which Dixon had acquired fictitious re-
sidence just before election, and that
Dixon had interfered with the appoint
ment of a Republican clerk and with
the supreme court watchers in the per-
Torrance of their duties.
There remain on the docket contempt
cases from eight other precincts, but
they will not be tried until after the
holidays.
Indictments against Michael Callahan
and Jacob SchurtZ. charged with cleo
ton frauds. were quashed by Judge
John I. Mullins today.
The defendants were election judges
I'm 1908 and were indicted last April for
neglect of duty and corrupt conduct at
the polls.
Judge Mullins held that the indiCt-
ments were general and not specific.
