Special to The Herald.


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14.-Paul j.
Rainey, the Cleveland young millionaire
who came into the llmeight on the turf
through his purchase of j. o. Keenes
contract to Jockey Herman Radtke for
$4,000 and his subsequent purchase of the
$45, 600 colt, De Mund, from Newton Ben
nington during the spring of 1906, will
campaign a stable of five horses at the
Emeryville track the coming winter.
This announcement, one of the most i'm
portant of the season to date in view of
the prominence of Rainey in social and
financial circles, was made by secretary
Treat of the New California Jockey club
yesterday on the receipt of telegraphic
information to that effect from New
J York.
1t is believed that the famous De Mund
will be one of the horses that Rainey
will ship west. De Mund is a great
sprinter and has been running creditable
races this fall, after having shown ather
disappointing form as a 2-year-old last
season.
The coming to the coast of sportsmen
of the Rainey type cannot fail to give
added impetus to the local popularity of
of racing and will do much to elevate
the tone of the sport.
William Garth has been training the
Rainey horses, but it is hardly prob
able that he will come to the coast, as
he has big string of thoroughbreds to
look after at his Virginia farm, where
Ginette, Horace E and Sir Wilfred the
property of Paul Rainey's brother, Roy,
spent last winter.
Secretary Treat was notified yesterday
to secure stalls for Dr. T. M. Cassidy,
who is coming from New York with
Gieeno, Right and True, and other well
known performers. D. Kelly also applied
for stalls for 10 horses that he will ship
to the coast from New York soon.
Go Between, the Suburban winner of
1906, which John Shields will bring to
the coast in the stable he is collecting
for the winter campaign at Oakland, will
be raced in the Bennings special, the
Washington cup and the maximum stakes
at Washington before Shields departure
from the east.
Shields Is confident that Go Between
will be a good horse this winter. He is
going along nicely now. Shields probably
Is capable of getting more out of Go
Between than other trainers who have
been handling him. 1t was under this
young mans training that the little
Meddler stallion won the Brookdale,
Westminster and Suburban handicars
ldSl year.
When he reaches here Shields will pre-
pare Go Between for the Thornton stakes
and other long distance specials, Shields
is looking about for another good horse
or two to bring west.
John Shields, brother of the late Alex
Shields, the father of Go Between's s
trainer, was once familiar figure at
Oakland and Tanforan. He was especial
ly successful on the coast the year Ad-
vance Guard was 3-year-old. Advance
Guard ran some famous races with r.
w. Brode and Yellow Tail 1t was on
the Pacific coast that Advance Guard
discovered the courage which was to win
for him the name of the iron horse.
DR.. Rowell is expected to reach Oak
! land on Sunday with the Williams sta
BILE, the star Of which is the crack colt
Firestone. Ffrestone's race in the Tri-
umph stakes, his farewell appearance at
New York, was disappointment to his
trainer, as the colt had worked yell for
the race. 1t is probable that the con-
dition of his feet, which have been troub-
| ling him. prevented his running up to ex-
pectations. He finished the mile reso-
lutely, proving to the satisfaction of his
owner and trainer that he will be a good
horse when right over a distance of
