meeting scheduled to open at Emery
villes two weeks from today. reached
San francisco from the east yesterday,
and Will at once taken up the task
OF getting his department in readiness
for the opening. Besides being looked
upon as one. of the sduarest and most
capable racing officials connected with
the American turf, Nathanson enjoys
a. wonderful reputation for system and
thorouGhness in the discharge Of his
duties. His faculty for keeping the
better class of horses running was
we'll exemplified last season, when he
returned to the coast after an absence
of several years. The policy which he
pursues in the programming OF races
produces results that local race sgoers
thoroughly appreciate, and there Is
general satisfaction among San Fran
cisco patrons OF the turf that he is
again to be in charge of the department
which he managed so well last season.
Nathanson came directly to the coast
from his home In Chicago after having
previously spent several weeks at New
York in the interest of the San Fran
cisco meeting. While in New York he
had several long conferences with
President L. H. Williams of the New
California jockey club concerning the
general conduct sof the approaching
meeting. A policy has been determined
upon that should result in the very
best meeting that the coast has ever
seen. The racing will be kept clean
at all costs, and those who in any
way violate the rules of racing will
be dealt with in no uncertain manner.
Nathanson confirms the reports that
have reached the coast of unexampled
interest among the turfmen of the east
IN California racing this season. After
the election there will be a general
exodus of eastern turf followers to the
coast and many of them are figuring
on staying in the west until the east
ern turf situation becomes more favor
able.
