ing.
All the kennels have a number of
puppies from which to select and there

Der of nominations. These estimates

1fty-four. The progeny of Roman
Athlete will start for the first time

Lou Dillon Q:5S1s), queen of the trot-
ting turf. is holding regal court these
crisp February days at Agricultural
Fark, San Jose, where willing hands
minister to her wants and watch her
practically every minute of the twenty
four hours to see no harm befalls her.
The admirers of the light harness
horse the world over will be pleased to
learn that the peerless Lou is regain
ing the form she showed in Memphis in
October, 1903, when, as a five-year- old,
she accomplished the feat of trotting
mile faster than two minutes. This
was feat the theorists had shown to
their satisfaction could not be accom-
plished, and its achievement by the lit
tie California mare electrified the
world.
The great mare is in the master
hands Of Budd Doble, and she shows in
every move the benefits of his intelli-
gent care. The silken sheen of her coat,
the complexion of the horse, denotes
the rudest of rude health She is gain
ing In weight steadily, having increas-
ed from $50 pounds, which the scales
indicated four weeks ago, to more than
800 pounds. Mr.. Doble is anxious to
put on every possible ounce of flesh,
as 1T will mean just so much material
on which to work later on when the
seri"us preparation begins for record
trials.
1t Is all holiday with this capricious
queen at the present time She has her
first feed Of oats at o'clock The max
Ing OF her toilet commences about
o'clock and continues until nearly IL.
During this time she Is polished and
manicured until her coat is like bur-
nlshed gold and her hoofs are spotless.
Ii the weather is favorable she is then
hooked to road cart and driven on
the road by Mr.. Doble at walk or
jog for from two to three hours. This
steady driving Is causing her to forget
the track, and she Is losing all the
nervousness which she developed last
year.
Lou Dillon in her stall and the same
animal In harness are as different as
the poles. In the former she is quiet
and her ears have way of Tapping
about which gives her a plain appear
ance The instant the harness is put
On she is transformed. She then has
all the airs and graces of show horse
and is as notional as q prima donna.
Mr.. Doble is ever on the alert when
driving her. but never fights her. He
is using plain bit. heavily covered
with rubber and with his light hands
there is never any strain on her mouth.
She Is absolutely fearless Of auto
mobiles and bicycles. while the on
ward rush of the interurban cars has
no terrors for her. She has a healthy
appetite for her midday feed After
her siesta she is led out where succu-
lent grasses. which put those of the
blue grass country to shame, grow
luxuriously. She nibbles at the dainty
morsels and enjoys the air and the
sunshine. There is another feed at
o'clock and at o'clock she retires
for the night. Her blankets are

Half of Match.

On Tuesday morning, the 21st inst,
the members of the Women's Annex of
the San Francisco Golf and Country
Club will hold foursomes over eighteen
holes. medal play, on the Presidfo
course. Among those who are likely
to take part are: Mrs. ]. r. Clark, Mrs
R. Gilman Brown. Miss Ives, Miss Car

On Washington's birthday the men of
the San Francisco Golf and Country
Club will hold handicap tournament
over eighteen holes, medal play. There
will also be competitions for members
of the San Rafael Golf Club and the
Claremont Country Club.
Next Saturday the representatives
of the San Francisco Golf and Country
Club will journey over to Rockridge
Park to play the second half of the
first home-and-h match in the in
terclub tournament. The Claremont
team is seven points to the good on the
first eighteen holes, which were played
over the Presidio course on Saturday,
the 11th inst. In previous tournaments
the San Francisco players have nearly
always secured a considerable lead on
the Preside course. so that, as 1t may
be presumed that the Claremont men
are more familiar with the new course
than the visitors from San Francisco,
the odds are in favor of Claremont TAX
ing the first match. Captain J. r.
Clark Of the San Francisco team and
Captain w. P. Johnson of the Clare
mont twelve will exchange lists next
Friday.
Though the Claremont Country Club
course is to be an eighteen-hole one,
only the first nine holes are ready for
play. The distances OF these holes are

Twice a day the queen smacks her

shortly and it would not take an ex-
pert on solving puzzles to guess where
he will first pay his respects.
At present Lou is being given only
sufficient exercise to keep herin health.
In due time Mr.. Doble will send her
along and will put her in rough form
for the campaign in the East. 1t is
not known to what track nor to what
trainer her owner will send her when
the time comes for serious training
