TROTTING SITUATION CLEARS
Grand Circuit Accepts Ruling Of the
National Biennial Congress
Relative to Stewards

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The Herald
today says:
Following close on the heels of the
biennial congress of the American
National Trotting association, the
stewards of the Grand Circuit held a
secret meeting at the Hoffman House
yesterday.
THE fact that it had been called so
soon after the adjournment of the
congress which ousted, as it had been
said, from the board of review four
of the stewards of the grand circuit,
besides refusing the demands of that
organization for racing stewards of it's
own selection, led to the belief in some
quarters that the big circuit might
break away from the national associa-
ton and either join the American or
come out alone as an independent body
on the lines of the Jockey club. No
such action was taken.
THE Grand Circuit accepted the
situation and proceeded to avail itself
of the provisions of the new rule re-
lating to the selection of racing stew
ards.
THE men who thus smoothed over
any possible trouble as to the incorpo-
rated Grand circuit were C. X. G. Bill
lings and James Butler, both of whom
were on the board of review until
Wednesdays congress; d. j. Campau
and H. K. Devereaux.
Acting under the new rule of the
national code, which authorizes each
member of a regularly formed circuit
to recommend not less than two per-
sons for appointment by the National
as racing stewards of the circuit, the
conference yesterday agreed that each
track should name five, instead of
only two men for the positions and
that each track should name the same
five.
1.-The men agreed upon were Senator
Horace White, Col. w. Perry Taylor,
Fl. N. Balm, Albert II. Moone and H.
*. Devereaux. j. M. Johnson. presi-
dent of the New England Trotting

special to The Herald.
SAN PEDRO, Feb. t6.-"More
Trouble is to be the name of new
racing yacht which Walter Folsom,
the yachtsman, has given the boat
building house of Joe Fellows a COM
mission to build at once. The yacht
Mischief has been owned by Mr.. Fol-
som for some time past and with it
he has won many races, but he sold
it few days ago to an Arizona man
and is to have a new one built entirely
along his own plans which he thinks
will be a world beater. The keel for
the More Trouble" was laid last
Monday and work will be rushed on it
as fast as possible.
Secretary Hyatt of the chamber of
commerce has received word that at
least 10 people will be on hand Sunday
morning for the Southern California
editorial excursion. A sail around the
bay and out to the breakwater will be
a feature. Luncheon probably will be
be served on the boat and then a trip
around the town on the electric cars is
proposed if time enough can be spared.
The members of the chamber of COM
merce will meet the editors in a body.
Plans are being drawn this week for
a new three-story brick block to be
erected as soon as the old buildings are
moved away, at the corner of Fourth
and Beacon streets. The building will
have a frontage on three streets and
will be of the latest style of archi-
lecture
Captain M. Duffy's new gasoline
passenger boat, the Orient. is the
latest acquisition to the shipping in the
bay. 1t is now completed and has
made one run to test its engines. 1t
has carrying capacity Of $50 persons
and a speed of fifteen miles per hour.
1t will be used for pleasure parties
who desire to visit other cities and
places of interest from here.
The new time card which went into
effect on the Pacific Electric yesterday
gives San Pedro thirty electric trains
each way per day. This together
with the excellent service on the Salt
Lake road and the new gasoline motor
service on the Southern Pacific, gives
good train service between San Pedro
and Los Angeles.

HOLIDAY ENTRIES
POURING IN FAST
PASADENA CLIMBING CONTEST
ExCITES INTEREST
Probabilities Are That 1907 ormond-
Daytona Meet VIII Be Held in
March owing to Climatic
Conditions

Entries for the Pasadena hill climbing
contest to be held on Washington s
birthday continue to pour In rapidly
and indications point to q large entry
| list for the holiday events.
The fact that the Agricultural park
races have been called off appears to
have had the effect of creating a
greater eagerness for entry to the
Pasadena tournament and as q result
arrangements are being made for a
big field.
Although nothing definite has been
decided upon, it is not unlikely that the
1907 meet of the famous Ormond-Day-
tona course will be held i'm March. The
uncertain weather of January has
caused this change of date to be Sc
the Cuban race will be the beginning
of the southern series instead of the
Ormond-Daytona meet.
Henry M. Flagler, the railroad and
hotel magnate of Florida, was an in
tereSted spectator at the January meet,
and as a result of his observations
there will be some decided improve
ments another year. Assurances from
him make 1t a certainty that Ormond
and Daytona will be connected by
gasoline railroad, making the course
easy of access no matter at which end
of the beach the race takes place.
Weather conditions compel eleventh.
hour revision of plans for the Florida
meet, and often this has occasioned
much inconvenience to the spectators,
principally because of the lack of trans
portation to the scene of activities.
A new automobile map has been
brought out in Paris which will con-
stantly indicate to the driver his posi-
ton on the road and will roll out be-
fore him automatically in proportion
to his speed. The apparatus consists
of glass top box about inches long
and 3 inches wide attached to the top
of the dash.
On the right-hand side is exposed a
strip map of the road supported on a
roller at each extremity and made to
unroll at rate proportionate to the
speed of the car, but always in such
a way that miles of the road ahead
can be seen.
On the left-hand side of the road
map is a narrow strip giving an ex-
PLANTATION of all the signs shown on the
map. At speed of 81 miles an hour
every obstacle or change in the nature
of the road Is known 8 minutes before
it is reached. At "a miles an hour, the
same would be indicated minutes in
advance.
The map is made to unroll by means
of gearing on the front wheel of the
car, imparting motion to a gear on the
chart box by means of a flexible cable
exactly as is used for speedometers.
When passing through towns the map
indicates, left, right, so that it is pos
sible to go right through without stop
ping to ask directions.

ferences and rough-riding tactics that
have married some of the mounts at
Ascot this season. Practically all the
rough-riders have been suspended, in
vited to leave or otherwise disciplined
by Judge Hamilton, and the probabili-
ties of unfair tactics in the great race
today are remote, yet it is appropriate
that the jockeys who ride in this event
today be properly impressed with the
duty they owe to the public and own
