Jimmie Delaney is expecting a mare
from up north that from all accounts
has the making of a pretty good kind
of trotter. She is credited with a mile
as a three-year-old in 2:17, last half in
1907, last quarter in 1914 seconds; and
1t is said, could have gone in 2:15 If
asked to. She wears practically no

Sam Watkins, the silver-tongued auc-

his good and promising PAGER, Josh. s.,
(terms priVate); So the only real race
horse he has now is the roam gelding,
Fire Plug, record hours and So sec
onds for fifty miles, made at Agri-
cultural park this fall. Sam says, as
he only cost him $3.50 at auction and
won him nearly $500 in that race, he
can afford to winter him. 1t will not
be long, however, before he picks up a
matinee candidate; then If one does
not think he can win he can go and see
Watkins and back the opinion.

Discussing the good horses that raced
around New York last season, the
Morning Telegraph of that city has the
following to say about woodcraft, the
Hildreth starter in the fourth race to-
day: HE was not started until the
first race opening day at Saratoga. In
that race he won from some good ones
at a long price. He was next started
in the Seneca selling stakes, which he
won. Shortly after this race he won
from some good ones at a long price.
He was next started in the Seneca
selling stakes, which he won. Shortly
after this race he was sold to r. G,
Doggett and proved an excellent pur-
chase. He lost his first start in the
Doggett colors, but he followed it with
four victories in a row-one at Sara
toga, two at YonkerS and one at
Sheepshead Bay. At the end of the
season he was purchased by S. C. Hill
dreth and since his arrival at Oakland
he has won three races and once been
second out of five starts. He is a g.
year-old son of Octagon and Wood
Nymph, and started in all thirteen
times since the opening of the Sara
toga season. He has won nine of these
races and been second once. making
only three times that he has not earned

Texas Growing Prize Fruit.

As an illustration OF what can be
grown on Texas soil in the way Of
fruit, Harry Locks Of San Antonio
has on exhibition a branch bearing
oranges, another bearing lemons and
still another bearing grape fruit all
the specimens Of which came from
Beeville. The fruit on each branch is
out of the ordinary. both as to quality
and as to quantity. A noteworthy
feature about the orange display is
that the variety was originally grown
at Beeville and has become known as
the De Cat orange for the reason that

matters legislative and administrative.
We have adopted broad and progress
