GOOD HORSES
FOR STAKES
AT ARCADIA
ENTRIES POURING IN FROM ALL
POINTS
HoRsEMEN AT OAKLAND STATE
THEY WILL BE HERE
Many Bookmakers Now Here Waiting
for Santa Anita's Opening Day,
and More Are Expected
Daily

HyttESE are busy times at the offices
of the Los Angeles Racing associa-
= tion. and Secretary Randle and his
assistants are kept on the jump opening
the mail which pours In every day. En-
tries to the stakes closed Tuesday and
yesterday over one hundred blanks were
received nominating horses to one fea-
ture event or the other. These were all
accepted, as they were mailed previous
to midnight on Tuesday.
The class Of entries is beginning to pick
UP a little, and several real horses are
down to start In the features of the COM
ing meet at Santa Anita park. More
stable room is an absolute necessity, and
the carpenters will be put to work on
other barns at once in order to accommo-
date the big bunch which is expected.
According to letter received from
Jack Atkin, the shipments from Oakland
in less than two weeks will be enormous.
The northern brigade will send down
several hundred thoroughbreds, and
their arrival is scheduled for few days
before Thanksgiving, when the meeting
is to begin.
George Rose is expected home from
Oakland today, and he will doubtless
know of many owners who are expecting
to have a try at the purses offered at the
Arcadia course. Rose cut in on the
booking end of the game at the northern
track and from all reports experienced
his usual luck in separating the public
from all the change in sight The ring
at Emeryville is crowded with chalk
consumers, and in all probability enough
of them will come south to swell the
numbers in line on opening day to at
least twenty.
Bookmakers Coming In
Several of the knights of the book are
already on hand, and more are coming
in every day, preferring to rest here un-
til Arcadia opens to going north and
booking there Hughey Jones and Nose
Raphael drifted in yesterday, as did Bob
Chambers. The latter had a most sue
cessful season on the Canadian circuit,
the Chambers and Walker book being
among the heavy winners.
J. w. Young and carlond of good ones
got in from Latonia yesterday and I'M
loaded at Ascot. Ed Alvey, with Col.
Bob as his chief bread winner, is due
from Louisville today, and others are
expected before the end of the week.
Dick williams has grabbed a contract
on the services of e. Martin, the boy who
rode with more than ordinary success at
the recent Latonia meeting. Martin $
a lightweight, and those who have seen
him in the saddle predict that he will be
a wonder with little moro experience.
Some fair hores were enrolled yester-
day in the list of stake candidates, among
which were the following: ]. S. Hawkins
has his fast Wing Ting in for three
stakes; e. l.. Krip expects to start Beau
mont in the Woodlands and other events;
Love of Gold will go to the post for H
Mack in three of the richer races; J. 7.
Robbins has extensively engaged Fair
Faggot. and ]. c. Glen will carry w. ST.
vincent's colors many times.
The old standby distance horse, Los
Angeleno Is due to carry HI. G. Bed
wells silk in the important features. as
are Reservation, Legatee and Judge Mel
son; the good mare Logistella will run
for r. H. Hoag. and Wherewithal Is due
to perform for r. H. Harris. Peter Ster-
ling and others go from Ed Trotters'
barn; J. D. Millin has entered a number,
and r. Friedman has nominated Fisher
Boy in five different stakes. frankie
Neil w. p. McCrane and Pete thinner
have picked out their good ones to turn
loose for the coin, and the Oakwooo
Stock Farm comes in with Firm Foot,
Tim Payne, Rey Hindoo and any num-
ber of yearlings.
DR.. Leego May Start
Tn all probability DR.. Leggo will be got
To the races this winter, as G. c. Nc
Caffery has nominated the son OF Pur-
wear D. for the Norfolk stakes. This is
a four-rnile event of exceptional value
and If the sensational performer is ready
he will start with the rest of the cracks
in what will prove formidable rival for
popularity to the Thornton stakes, OAK
lands greatest distance race.
The same old story in regard to WORK
on the course at Arcadia must be record
ed again, for the task of completing the
plant in time for the opening on Thanks
giving is going ahead without hitch OF
snv kind. The only serious accidents
recorded occurred late Tuesday night,
when two men who were rushing the
work of unloading lumber were crushed
to death. The grand stand is rapidly
nearing completion, and will be ready Tor
fine painters in few days.
Work on the souvenir book of the track
which will be issued on inaugural day, Is
heing rushed by the printers, and it is
exnected that the little booklet will be
about as handsome as anything of the
Kind ever sent out. The demand will un-
doubtedly be great, for in addition TO
eneravings of scenes right at the track
many Southern California show places
are reproduced, as well as the mos
beautiful features of Lucky Baldwin
famous ranch.
