weights to be carried by each thor
oughbred have already been assigned.
Oxford will be In with top weight,
122 pounds. Descuento comes next
with 11s pounds, while Gold Rose has
III pounds to lug over the course. Be
cause Of the weight assigned to Gold
Rose there is liable to be a hitch in
the proceedings, for @. B. Morris. who
owns the crack flly, contends that he
should be allowed Ave pounds.
That the match will be of more
than usual Importance goes without
saying. Descuento, the undefeated one
Of the bunch, has started four times
at the present Ascot meeting and in
each instance has won without being
extended Gold Rose has been first
in six out of seven starts, her one de-
feat being due to bad start, in which
Morris flly was left when the barrier
went up. Gold Rose holds several
track records and runs any distance
from FIVE furlongs to the full mile.
oxford the third crack in the triangu-
lar debate for championship honors
has not shown the class and consis-
tency of which he is capable and has
but lately struck his gait. That he
will prove a worthy opponent for the
other two is foregone conclusion, and
the race is expected to be one of unus-
ual closeness from the raising of the
barrier to the finish.
The Seeing Southern California"
Traffic company has arranged to
run a special car to Ascot to-
morrow. About fifty guests have
been invited and the party will leave
Fourth and Spring streets at Las p. m.
Tab Decimo. This one will about do
the trick the next time out.
Lanark ought to be schooled better
before the judges allow him to start
again. In his race on Tuesday he
just managed to crawl over Yester-
day he fell over the first jump. 1t is
dangerous when they fall, as some
other horse might fall over them and
the boys are liable to be hurt.
Cash Box looked so good to the pad
dockites that they backed him from
to to to 2. In false break he ran
away an eighth of a mile, and when
into the stretch and tired badly at the
finish. Father Catcham was the best
but was carried out by Cash Box.
which cost him the race.
ARABIC ran in the colors of kansas"
Price. He bought him from w. B.

ing wide into the stretch.
Albert Enright bears watching. He
led all the way into the stretch in his
race yesterday, and is due to earn

and will be hard to be beat in that
kind of going over a distance of ground.
Heather Honey seems to have
trained off as she swerved badly in
the stretch right in front of the fast
tiring Merwan.
Wenrick will be hard to beat the
next time out in the kind of company
he ran yesterday, especially in
heavy or sloppy track, which suits his
bad legs.
Kenilworth made great effort with
his big package but the weight told
on him and he had to succumb at the
end to the lightweights

be run this afternoon at seven fur
longs with $3.50 added. The best
sprinters at the track are carded to

Victoria S. pulled up very lame after
the race yesterday.
