At Santa Rosa the year old stake

mare that is racing in the east this
year is the only one missing from the

BERTHA MAC A FAVoRITE
On the last day there viii surely be
q horse race when the 2:14 trot is
called From her showing in this class
at santa Rosa Bertha Mac viii be in
stalled as favorite. but she viii have to
trot faster mile than she ever has
gone before II she expects TO bring
home first money. Nogi, the great fu-
turity colt, won the first heat in this
class at Santa Rosa. and he certainly
viii be q competitor at Oakland Val
1ejo Girl and Lady Mckinney will not
prove easy picking for either Bertha
Mac or Nogi and there are a great
many horsemen who would not be sur
prised II one Of these wins the race. at
any rate both Of these game daughters
OF the mighty Mckinney viii be well up
sn front in every heat
In the 2.14 pace Ray O. Light, the
fast son Of Searchlight, has been en-
tered against aged horses, and White
head has so much confidence in his star
that he expects him 10 win even with
this handicap. II the rumors of the
great speed OF this colt prove TO be
true he ought TO take the measure of
the seasoned horses against which he is
pitted- But the youngster surely will
have TO travel up to expectations IL he
beats such horses as McFayden. Me-
1nonia Rockaway and Wanderer II
McFayden Is right IT is hardly possible
that a year old can beat him.
