Brought From Last for
Winter Meeting
By J. z. Jefery

Yesterday morning. having lost less
time en- route than the railroad Off
Gals counted on. The stable left New
York last Wednesday, and the long
trip across the continent was made
close to schedule time, despite delays
occasioned by washouts in Arizona,
The horses came off the cars in ex-
cellent condition. and after day or
TWO Of rest viii be shaped for their
California engagements. Besides sew
enteen yearlings, principally by Odd
Fellow, the horses in the Forsythe
string are as follows:

Lady Augusta

The Forsythe stable should cut con-
siderable figure in California this win
ter. Dorante viii be its main reli-
ance in the distance fixtures of the sea-
son. This son of the dead PesSara
comes mighty close 10 being first
class horse, and there will be few in
training on the coast capable of taking
his measure when he is at the height
OF his form. He was one of the few
horses that ever had the mighty Colin
strai ghtened out to win a race, and
he has raced creditably all season with
the best of the eastern handicap divi-
sion. He can go any kind of a route,
likes all sorts Of going and is a horse
10 be feared in any kind of company.
Berrymaid undoubtedly viii acquit her
self creditably in sprints. as she made
good showing in competition with
the eastern cracks during the season
just closing. High Private was &C
counted a topnOtcher among the jul
Neniles Of the eastern turf, but was
q bit unfortunate and has not started
for some time because of a mishap
shelVed him. He is a youngster that
showed several sensational trials in
private before he was raced.
J; Lee, the crack colored jockey. who
VIII do most Of the stable riding dur
ing the winter, did not come to the
coast with the horses, but will arrive
here next week. Lee went from New
York 10 his home at New Orleans at
the close Of the Belmont park meet
ing 70 visit relatives for a few days.
JOckles Shreve and p. Kelly and the
apprentice riders Fox. Fitzpatrick and
Hagan, are attached TO the stable, and
probably all of them will be given a
winter.
This is FOrsythe's initial trip to the
coast He was formerly associated
with Phil Chinn, who raced southern
horses here some years ago. Forsythe
enjoys an excellent reputation. and his
colors-White, with black belt and vel
low cap-will doubtless become popu-
lar with local racegoers. Raleigh Col
ston, the colored trainer who devel-
open Montgomery and other good
horses for Forsythe. is stiil connected
with the stable and will train the
horses for their California campaign.
Forsythe expressed satisfaction on
learning that Montgomery was train
ing nicely for the opening handicap.
His interest in the son of Pessara
remains almost as keen as though the
Burns handicap winner were still in
his own string.
G. H. Keene returned to the coast yesterday
from bis Kentucky trip and announced that his
bfother Jack, who went to Japan last Summer
would return TO this country about December J.
coming directly here from Yokohama Jockey
ScoFihe viii accompany him back 10 America
and VIII be depended upon TO do the stable
riding during the winter Raeonteur and the
Gold Heels yearling that Jack Keene purchased
~ New York last summer viii be shipped from
kentucky 70 California with the stable OF the
INST horseman that may happen TO come
this way. J. H. Miller is about 10 shin ia

has car engaged 10 transport his stable from

teur was raced on the Kentucky tracks this fall
win anything but selling races unless he shows
marked improvement upon arrival on the coast
Raconieur ran some clever races here in bis .
year old form, which led to the belief that be
might develop into horse Of some class.
Secretary Treats mail was burdened yester-
day with belated stake nominations from various
sections Of the country. An especially large
number came from Arcadia and all Of the i'm
portant stables CHARTERED there viii be well rep
resented in the stakes. Ed Alvey who will
have a formidable stable in training at the
southern track. was among the owners from
whom a grist Of nominations came yesterday
y rs Impossible as yet 10 form any accurate
idea OF the volume Of the nominations as COM
pared with previous seasons as distant points
remain 20 be heard from. S. c. Hildreth is the
greatest individual nominator as was TO have
been expected in view Of the caliber of his
racing establishment. Hildreth named all Of his
cracks very literally for the various events
and made total Of 17e nominations.
II. G. Bedwelrs speedy mare. Luretta. sue
eum0ed yesterday TO the severe attack of fever
and pneumonia with which she was stricken
Bedwel had counted on Luretta being one of
the most useful horses in his string the coming
winter and her death Just at this time Isl
especially regrettable. Luretta ran some shark
ling races at the recent Seattle meeting and
achieved a very creditable record before John
Lowe brought her to the coast last fall having
been especially shifty performer on the New
York tracks In the early part of her career.
The horses with which Trainer Frank Weir

Der include Jim Gafney, Roseben Milford
Cressina. Fancy. Strike Out Sir Lynnewood'
Rockstone. The Vicar and two yearlings Dayy
johnson. F. II. Milden and Weir himself are
the owners represented in the stable.
While there were a great many horses on the
track at Emeryville yesterday. few of the work
outs were especially notable. S. c. Hildreth
worked his opening handicap candidate. Dande-
lion. mile IN AS. The horse was only breez-
ing and pulled up nicely. Fitzherbert another
Of the Hildreth cracks. breezed q mile in 40
Fitzherbert is a year old and this is the first
indication that he may be a starter in the
opening stake Sewell, another prospective con
testant in the opening day fixture, went SIX
furlongs in ZIG 3-5 very handily. Nadzu a
selling platter in the Ramsey string, worked q
mile in 1:44.
Jockey Herman Rettig put in an appearance
st Emeryville yesterday and reported Tor 5uty
