Joseph Mcclure of Pleasanton has
bought from M. A. Murphy Of San
Francisco the Zombro mare, Briquette,
paying $4,000 for her. Briquette is out
of a mare by Woolsey, own brother to
Sunol (2:0S%), and is one of the great
anton track has furnished for some
time. She is now 4 years old and has
trotted a half in 1:051z and quarter
in 80 seconds. She is beautifully gated
and as Mr.. Mcclure will handle her
this year it is foregone conclusion
that she will take low mark.
An innovation will be tried at the
second California circuit meeting at
Fresno in July that will be of interest
The Fresno association has announced
a selling race for trotters and the re-
suit will mean much to the advocates of
the idea. The purse will be $500 and
the winner must be offered for sale at
the close of the race, started at the
owners bid of $500. If the horse is
sold for any more than that amount
one-half of the. amount in excess of
$500 will go to the owner and the re-
naming half to the association. The
purpose of race Of this kind is to af-
ford horses which are outclassed by
hot dc In, tc
an opportunity to race with a fair show
of winning some part of the purse.
If there is anything in breeding the
handsome filly Lily Dillon. by Sidney
Dillon out of the great brood mare Lily
Stanley, 2:17A, that is included in lib
bells string, should trot fast and she
gives every sign Of doing it.. Lily Stan
ley was a great race mare in her day
and has produced Rokeby, 2:13%; Rect,
2:161s, and On Stanley. 2:171a.
Ed Geers has seventeen horses in his
string this year, nine of which are
without records. He will start three or
four of these at the Detroit meeting.
George Beckers has taken Zombro

and will keep him there during the stud

Stewards green PAGER Fearnot gated
n tn O.1O l,a L.
F. e. Wright's string looks like a
money Garner. Kelley Briggs, 2:09A,
has been caught In nice mile at 2:13
with the last half in 1903. Pearl Sin
dair, a green PAGER, worked a mile in
2:16, with the last half 1:O6. All Mr.,

and Wild Bell, an entry in the 2:27
class, has established a mark of 2:1S,
with the last half in 1908. Ora Belmont
has been caught in an easy mile in
2:16. This looks good for something in
the 2:24.
Several OF the steppers now out at
Agricultural park traced" in the meet
of the San Jose Amusement company
Saturday, June II. While advertised
as traces" they were nothing more
than workouts. So say sulky artists
now in Los Angeles who were pres
ent. Dedalion (2:10) and Highly
(2:2414) worked heat. the former lead
ing at the wire in 1921. Just 1t went

the wire in both heats In 2:25 and 2:17h.
Alone stepped a mile in 2:O9k.
Lady Zombro, entered in the 2:24 and
2:17, is one Of the best prospects for
real fast one In California. The mare

erty OF Mr.. Whittier. p. w. Hodges
