the district covered by the Milwaukee

our town and display a big line Of Ostrich
Plumes and throwing the whole open fol
public inspection for our citizens.
According to statement of the manage

Hildreth Leaves for South
With Big String

Fears that the local rainy season had
set in in real earnest induced S c..
Hildreth to forsake Emeryville for Ar
cadia sooner than he had intended.
Hildreth departed last night for Los
Angeles with a carload of the pick, of
the horses. that he has been training
al Emeryville. The shipment included
Dandelion, Fitzherbert, King James,
Uncle, Woodcraft, Veil, Guiding Star
and Vatican.
Two carloads of the HiIdreth horses
had preceded these cracks to the
southern track, and the Emeryville
division of the Hildreth stable, which
was left in charge of Frank Taylor,
now consists of only IA of the 40 head
quartered in the Hildreth stable at the
beginning of the season. The horses
that Hildreth left behind are mudders
of pronounced type, including Mont
gomery, Tony Faust. Transmute, VII
brate, Schmooser, Lady Hildreth,
Schleswig. Ace of Diamonds, Little
Siss and Obey.
Many of the horses that Hildreth
shipped south were not ready for rae
ing and will be brought back here to
fill stake engagements as soon as he
can get them fit at the southern track.
He has transferred his training opera
tions TO Arcadia only pecause that
track presents better facilities for get
ting horses ready than the Emeryville
plant during the rainy period.
But for the doWnpour or tuesday
night. following the rain of Sunday,
which necessitated the closing of the
main track, except for actual riding,
Hildreth would still be here. He dis
likes the idea of trying to get his
high priced horses ready on the local
training track, and so he decided to
pull up stakes sooner than he had
expected to. W. Fl. Spence, who had
charge of the Hildreth yearlings- two
years ago. will assist Frank Taylor
in handling the local division of the
Hildreth string. and Jockey Upton,
who is under contract to Spence, will
do the lightweight riding for the
stable, while Jockey Koerner will boot
here occasionally during the winter.
but for the most part will depend on
Taylor, who is his brother in law, TO
look out for his interests locally.
