CORRlCAN SECURES
THE WORTH TRACK
Now Has Control of Enough Good
Plants to Control the
Game
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Ed Corrigan
now claims to have the Worth track in
line for his new circuit which is to be
organized at Hot Springs. If this state
ment is true it adds great deal of sta
bility to the new organization, whose
weakness has been a lack Of tracks To-
Gated in the big cities where horsemen
could find money in sufficient quanti-
ties to make it worth while to jump the
Western Jockey club.
With two tracks in Chicago and one
in st, Louis there should be a larger
field for horsemen than was at first
in sight
However, the Chicago tracks are of
little benefit just now, as the prospects
are very strongly against local racing.
If there are no local tracks in action it
will weaken the circuit materially, as
at least two big money makers are
needed to make the new circuit sue
cess. The Western Jockey club is said
to have offered Worth dates set aside
for Washington park to remain in the
fold. Worth spurned this offer because
it was made as a war measure and the
Worth people had to fight for what fa-
vors they'were able to secure last year.
That Nashville will be a member of
Corrigan's circuit is the latest an
nouncement, and Tom Mcdowell will
in all probability be elected president
Of the new turf organization.

TRACK NOTES

Sand Storm was heavily backed to
win the first race. She worked three
eighths in :S5 in her morning trials
but ran as if green in her race and will
about win next time out.
Tab Ila. She showed a lot of early
speed and hung on tenaciously but
was not quite good enough to run in
the money. Will do when put where
she belongs.
The hackers of Ray thought they had
easy money when the horse was about
fifty yards from the wire when e.
Walsh sent along Position and just did
manage to nose out Ray.
Prestolus is worth remembering when
in poor company as he showed a flash
of early speed for three-quarters.
Cigarlighter is good and fit and when
in a race about one mile or over he
will be hard to beat. In his race yes
terday he finished like cyclone.
Had Treubel stuck to whipping Flo
Bob he would have won. AS it was
he allowed his mount to swerve slightly
at a critical moment when he stopped
whipping which cost him the race.
Throw out Princess Tulane's race as
she can do much better. Was poorly
ridden and cut off several times.
Padua came out steaming hot and
hattered his hackers until the head of
the stretch, where he stopped badly as
if short. Is a good future prospect.
Borghesi showed a little early speed
and belongs in the selling-plater class,
where he can win.
Tyrolian showed her usual early
speed but tired badly in the last hun
dred yards when bod Anderson came
very fast and won easily.
MeJetta will win soon. Showed speed
and when put where she belongs will
be hard to beat.
The Lieutenant is worm putting OF
your list for next time out. Was
given what appeared an easy ride and
can do better.
Two of the principal events Of the
season will be decided at Oakland
within the next two weeks. Next
Saturday the California Oaks will be
run, while the following Saturday the
$4,000 Burns handicap will be the at
traction.
Some very clever fllies are eligible
Nor the Oaks which is at a mile and a
Los Angeles herald., 1905-01-26

furlong, with $4,000 added. Among the
principal candidates are Sea Air, Lady
Goodrich, The Mist, Del Carina. Sea
Voyage, Bolgna, Awakening, Marie j.,
Estella j., Babow, Meada, Arisbe and
Mabel Bates.
The Burns handicap which is at
mile and quarter for three-year-olds
and upward, promises to be one of the
best contests in the history of the
event. There are 105 eligibles, includ-
ing the best horses here and at Ascot
park. NJ. J. Daily has his two clever
performers Claude and Elliott to repre-
sent him. Dainty, Gold Money, Rock
away and Tocolaw are among those
named by Walter Jennings. Joseph
Yeager entered Leonidas, Jack Ratlin
and Glisten. NJ. H. Tichenor & Co.
have three eligibles, including Flo Bob,
Dalvay and Flower King. Among
others entered are w. r. Condor, Eos.
Sill Military Man, Schoolmate, Honi-
ton, Pasadena, High Chancellor, Mar
tinmas, Horatius, Bombardier and
Mendon.
Jim Blute started all of his string at
Oakland yesterday and finished second
with both Sais and Cincinnatus, and
third with Tramotor.
The boy on Varro had to pull up just
before the finish as Ray crossed in
front of him, but at this stage of the
game Varra was beaten and could not
have been second even with clear
sailing.
Wee Girl, Stubenbord's recent ac-
quisition, has certainly proven herself
handy filly, considering the purchase
price. In her first race for Stubenbord
she equaled Pinkerton's track record
for the distance and yesterday she beat
Father Catcham, considered by some to
be the best colt shown this year at
Ascot.
Sandstorm had quite a following in
the first race and was backed from 10
to to to on the report of fast work
in morning trials.

RAINDR8pS TYpIFIED WEATHER.
Good Entertainment At St. Mary's
Hall Last Night.

The little rain drops ON the stage at
ST. Mary's Hall last night more than
typified the conditions of the weather
outside. The rain poured, at intervals,
in heavy showers, there being three
separate and distinct thunder storms.
1t is TO be regretted that oD both
nights the entertainment was given,
the weather should have been so un-
favorable. The audience was only Of
fair size, the storm having prevented
many from coming out, as on the pre-
vious night. In many respects the
entertainment that was repeated by
request was a greater success than on
its first presentation, on May Is and l6,
There was moro finish TO the per-
formance aud the stage settings were
more attractive. The boys put more
vim into their parts and they made
a great hit in their "shower" chorus
at the May day ball when they drive
the flowers in out of the rain. The
boys brought down the house" to
use theatre parlance. The rainbow
drill was also improved upon and was
particularly effective. The children
received much applause. The general
finish of the entertainment in all its
details required much work and care
on the part of the Sisters of Notre
Dame, to whose efforts the success is
largely due.

PROMISES A GOOD SEASON.
0ystermen Are Much Pleased At
The Prospect Of Good
Catch.
HAVE INVESTIGATED BOTTOM
The Slow Thaw This Spring Was
Good For Growth of The
Young Stock.

There has just been completed 10y
the local boatmen and fishermen a
close, careful and searching investiga.
tion into the conditions of the oyster
beds with reference to the promise for
next season. It was feared by many
that the large number Of small oysters
in the beds had been seriously dam
aged by the late thaws dep0siting mud
over the young oysters or flowing foul
water over them TO such an extent
that they would be-suffocated
The very fact, however, that the
thaw was gradual is what has militat-
ed in favor of the oysters. Never be.
fore in the history of the local oyster
industry have so many good beds been
found. Some of them were very badly
torn mp by the dredgers, hut have re-
covered to a considerable extent. At
Hollands Island, the Three Sisters,
Sandy Point and at other we'll known
points where the oysters have yearly
dwindled in numbers a great improve
ment has been found.
Some of the new spawn will not be
available to the oystermen for at least
two years, but the understood oysters
which were left on the bars last season
show good and promising growth.
The mussels seem to have deserted this
part of the bay for good, and at pres
ent no serious enemy to the oyster has
been found. Much of the increase is
also attributed to the fact that the
weather was too bad last winter that
the oystermen were unable to take the
usual large catch. Taken altogether
the oystermen claim that the next sea.
osn will show greater abundance of
oysters than in many years.
Bottoms which lit was intended to
sell under the terms of the Haman
bill tor So per acre could not be bought
today if owned by private parties for
ten times that amount. 1t is claimed
by the oystermen that if the dredging
laws are properly enforced during the
coming season there will be absolute
ly no need of replanting the beds aud
that the natural increase will soon
place the oyster industry where ii was
in years gone by.
