South Africa, has been shipped to Eng
land for a campaign against the best
horses to be found there. Baluarte
was bred in Argentina and is a brown
colt by Batt-Gypsey. He was taken TO
South Africa as a yearling. From the
outset of his career he has been con-
sistently a high class racer and hav-
ing won about all that is to be won in
South Africa racing, finally reached a
stage where the Handicapped placed
heavy burdens on him. Last winter he
won the rich johannesburg handicap
with 129 pounds up. Since then he
was assigned impossible weights.
Waldo and Donau, two good colts
that raced at Emeryville, are among

General Stephen Sanford, the veteran
New York turfman. declares that he
feels greatly encouraged to continue
his breeding operations at Amsterdam
farm by reason of the success which
has attended racing under new condi-
tions on the New York tracks so far
this season. In discussing the situa-
ton he said:
There are among the American peo-
pie, like the rest of the world, lovers
of the horse, and the community in
general takes great interest in racing.
1t is a recreation that the masses en-
joy. The legislation which has taken
place and the passing of the extreme
laws discouraging to racing are to be
spasms from time to time-political,
social and otherwise-spread over the
country and nothing viii stop them.
They will move along and soon run
their course. Good judgment and COM
mon sense in the end will always pre-
vail.
The colors of the Sanfords are very
popular on New York tracks. Shortly
before the Saratoga season each year
the owners give a matinee race meet
at their farm near terdam, and all
the people of the town turn out for
the affair.

TAKES BURRIS
HILL TROPHY
0LDSM0BlLE CAPTURES CUP
FOR BURRlS HILL
Time is Now I Hour and Minute
and Agents Say "But Getting
Started"

And now there is another cup holder
in the city of Los Angeles, and this
time the surprise of all is that it is the
Oldsmobile that has started a silver
ware chest, with the handsome trophy
of the Burris cup for its initial nest egg
in the valuable department.
Probably there is not a person con-
nected with the automobile business
who would ever have guessed that the
Olds would have been climbing steep
mountain trails in search Of glory, yet
that is just the machine that turned the
trick yesterday. The Oldsmobile has
been looked upon as one of the good
old staid cars, easy of motion, with an
irreproachable reputation for durabil-
ity, an enviable notoriety for endurance
and a substantial character for cover
ing steadily a large amount of the
earth's surface if just permitted to go.
But racing? This was hardly consid-
cred Just in line with the dignity of the
Olds. Yet the people like racing. And
wherever there is speed there will al
ways be the incentive to bat the other
fellows time 1t is an inherent attri-
butte of human nature to excel.
So Mr.. McLarty took a look at his
Oldsmobile and whispered to himself
the old familiar refrain, Twill you ride
with me, Lucille, in my merry Oldsmo-
bile?" patted his favorite car a few
times and looked at the map leading to
the summit of Burris' camp where the
Columbia added fame to its name but a
short time ago, and remarked to Sales
Manager Staunton: "Get your hat on
and We'll take a spin over to Redlands
and run up and bring home that Burris
trophy"
Accordingly, away went the olds.
without the slightest announcement of
the purposes of the cars movement,
put up at Redlands Thursday night
and in the early hours of yesterday
morn, with McLarty at the wheel and
Staunton as his mechanician and open
er Of the five gates on the course, head
ed the dignif1ed Olds toward Burris'
camp.
1t is a stiff, hard grind, too, but stead
ily the car climbed the mountain, with
the Columbia's time of / hour IA min
utes so seconds ever in front of them
When the car stopped at the camp they
had made the trip of twenty and half
miles in / hour and / minute, thus low
ering the Columbia time thirteen min
utes, and becomes therefore the proud
possessor of the Burris trophy.
And the Oldsmobile people state that
this is but the beginning of their inten-
tions to go after more prizes that have
been easy for other cars about Los
Angeles; so Los Angeles has another
