GOOD STRING
PAUMoNAK, $4,000 LEMON, is AT
ASCOT
Horse Which Failed to Make Good
and Was PeddIed to Whitney,
Stabbed at the Local
Course

John Shields, one of the best trainers
in America, and owner of Go Between,
Halifax and other top notchers, arrived
from the east yesterday, bringing some
of his horses along to win little purse
money at Arcadia this winter. Jockey
John Hennesey accompanied him, ana
the boy will do the riding for the stable.
In Halifax, Shields has shifty horse
over the sprint route, and will doubtless
win many of the shorter races at Santa
Anita Go Between, because of his VIC
tories in the Brooklyn and Westminster
handicaps last year, is the biggest Win
ner now quartered at the local course,
and will be prepped at Arcadia for the
eastern events next summer.
Shields also has many others entered
in the various stakes to be run here this
winter, and Is expecting a prosperous
season His ability as trainer is second
to none, and he has lived up to the repu-
tation he made as "A jockey years ago
by displaying a. perfect knowledge OF
horses and their needs.
On the same train as the Shields
horses w. V. Conran sent three two-year-
olds and Dusty Miller, the latter the
property of Charlie Van Dusen.. One or
the Youngsters is by The Commoner, the
sire of Kercheval, and has shown some
nice trials Kercheval, which killed
man recently, raced in Conran's colors
when he won the Burns handicap, hav-
ing been leased from r. G. Brien for
the winter season.
Ex-Jockey Sam Greenfield, who rode
with much success in England and
France, also sent three two-year-olds on
the same train, Black Domino being the
class of the lot. She is a filly by Ethel
bert and although she has shown moth
ing wonderful, Owner Greenfield believes
the youngster will amount to something
in her next years form.
Summer Cloud and Paumonak the
property of Keeler and Moyn, who race
their horses under the nom de course OF
Maine stable, arrived yesterday from
New York. Paumonak is the handsomer
horse stabbed at the track, and Newton
Bennington, who developed him, thought
he was a world beater and at one time
refused $25 500O for him. He did not per-
form to his private work, and at auction
sale H p. Whitney secured him Tor Slz'-
900, getting gold brick.
At the Whitney sale Paumonak was
Knocked down to his present owners. he

half brother to that consistent performer
Niblick.
SEYMOUR Bentler, the man with the
eagle eyes, who has charge of the race
tracks in the east, arrived in town yester-
day and will again have charge OF ire
Pinkerton forces at Santa Anita. his
presence at the track insures protection
to racegoers from the light fingered gen.
try and touts.
]. e. Madden will send eight horses
from his farm, Hamburg place, to w. II.
Holland, to race at Arcadia.
w. H. Mosby brought Jockey Mccarthy
from New York yesterday. This boy is
one of the light weight finds of the year.
He rode a number of winners on the
eastern circuit, and his services will be In
demand here, as he can ride at about
eighty pounds.

are booming racing through the south TOT
