1t was somebody's fault that these

to refuse TO weigh in at later hour

NOTED TURFMAN
IS SUMMONED
Joseph Cairn Simpson
Hears Bugle Call for
Eternal Rest.
His Name Linked With
Racing for More Than
Half a Century.

Joseph CairD Simpson, noted in the
development and history of the light
harness horse in California, is dead.
He finished life's course yesterday
morning at 5:55 O'Clock, at his home,
Pill Adeline street, Oakland, where
he had resided since his arrival in
California in 1874. The veteran turf
man attained the age of 81 years and
passed under the wire to the here
after with the respect of thousands of
horse lovers who knew and admired
him for his sterling characteristics
and remarkable knowledge of the
turf and the animals that have added
fame to its annals.
Joseph Cairn Simpson was born in
Scotland and came to the United
States when young man. Prior to
his departure from New York for
California he was editor of the Turf,
Field and Farm in the great metrop-
oils. He was writer of authority
on the harness horse and breeder
on scientific lines. When he came to
this State he brought with him the
great brood mare Marian, the dam
of three Derby winners-Emperor of
Norfolk. The Car and Ell Rio Rey.
Simpson evolved the theory that
the speediest harness horses could be
produced by crossing runners and
tor Leland Stanford to that theory
and the correctness of it was proven
by the many fast equines that were
bred at Palo Alto Stock Farm and
went forth to shatter worlds records
on the turf.
Anteeo and ANtevelo, star trotters
of the early da.S in California's turf
history, were driven by Simpson. He
was associated at one time with The
odore Winters in a breeding farm,
but devoted the most of his energy to
turf writing, 10 which he brought a
fluent, graceful style. He established
the Breeder and Sportsman and also
founded the Pacific Coast Blood
Horse Association. from which the
New California Jockey Club descend
ed Although i'll for more than a
year previous to his demise, Mr..
Simpson labored heroically in prepar-
ing a history of the harness horse in
California. This work he had but
partially completed when the end
came. Mr.. Simpson was true
sportsman of the old school and fol-
lowed the turf purely for the pleasure
he derived from it,
Surviving Mr.. Simpson are a wife.
Mrs Laura Simpson. and three
daughters-Mrs. E. S. Culver, Mrs. E.
B. Bull and Miss Roxaline Simpson.
The funeral of the noted turfman is
to be held under charge of Live Oak

proved too strong for his opponent
The score was 6-3, rs. In the second
set Cornell led at 5-4 and 40-15. but

Some Doubt Expressed as to the Possibility O

Harry Pollok Will Convert Madison-Square Garden
Into Modern Arena for the Occasion.

NEW YORK, May 27.-Terry McGoVern
and Jimmy Britt are ready for their ten
round contest before the Twentieth Gen.
tury Athletic Club at Madison Square
Garden tomorrow night Both of these
little pugS have let up in their training
and are no& waiting for the gong to ring
TO send them into action in the big arena
at the Garden.
A gang of carpenters will be at work to-
morrow building the S36 boxes which will
surround the ring a new stakeless ring
and platform will also be used. 1t will
be twenty feet inside the ropes, In cases
where the contestants demand a larger
arena it can be made the regulation twen-
ty-four feet.
AS the Twentieth Century Club will
hold all of its entertainments from now
on in the big arena, every precaution is
being taken 10 insure the comfort and
convenience of its members. The floor
seats and boxes will be entirely sur
rounded by a railing which will keep
them exclusive of the balance of the
spectators. The roller skating rink which
the club is running at the garden will be
closed all day Monday. The admittance
of associate members" whose dues will
be 81, has made big hit, and the ad-
vance demand for seat reservations both
at the clubhouse and at the principal ho-
tells and sporting resorts, where they can
be had is large.
Present indications point to a packed
house when the two little gladiators step
into the limelight. Britt's first appear
