Gossip of the Track
DR.. H. E. Rowell. trainer of the williams
stable. returned from flying trip to Arcadia
Yesterday in time to saddle Firestone for his
STAKE victory. Dr. Rowell brought back with
him hin Roalta, The Drake, Prudent and Sonalta.
The property of t. H. Williams, and his own
horse Pnalanx, for which latter DIR. Rowen hopes
10 nnd customer shortly. Besides Phalanx,
RoweI owns only Corn Blossom and a
couple OF cheap year olds, having sold Rubrie
and Mistress Of Rolls during his southern trip
In pursuance of his decision to get rid of all his
own ho-ses In order TO devote his entire attention
to the training of President Williams stable
Dr. Rowell left Big Chief and Perjuicio at Ar
eadla to be raced in accordance with his instruc-
lions by John Broad his foreman at the southern
track. Big Chiefs first at Arcadia few
days ago came fully up to the expectations Of
his trainer, and Rowel is sanguine that he will
train well for his important stake engagements.
1t is unlikely that he viii be brought back from
Arcadia much before Burns handicap day. Rowen
has set his heart on winning the Burns for the
president OF the jockey club and Big Chief will
be given every chance TO come up to the race lit
Tor the supreme eaort Of his career.
This is the closing day of Starter Dryers
present engagement at Emeryyille. Dwyer will
exchange places with Jake Hoffman. who has
been starting at Arcadia. Monday. Dwyer will
go south tomorrow and Hoffman viii come north
on tomorrow nights Owl. Hoffman is credited
with good form at the southern track this
son.
Jockey Walter Miller resumed riding yesterday
after three days suspension for questionable
tactics ON Darlington, and showed the same
suspension. Mr.. Dunphy and Firestone were his
only mounts. He scheduled TO ride Crea-
tion, but could not do the weight of 107 pounds
aud DR.. Rowell, the stable trainer, unwill-
ing to carry overweight. Jockey Butler was
substituted. Miller probably would have
with Creation. esen had the horse carried several
pounds overweight.

Judge Hopper confirms the report from Los
Angeles that Jockey Eddie Dugan will not be
allowed to ride in California until the New York

sequence of the action Of the eastern turf author

all of which horses have creditable races to their
credit. Dunno lost no time in making entries
after his arrival and two of hie horses viii ap-
pear under silks this afternoon. He has the
reputation Of being of the most upright and
conscientious trainers in the sport. and is the
type Of horseman whose accession to the ranks of
the local owners is hailed with qualification by
those who have the interest of the sport at heart
Don Enrique was worked mile for today,s
handicap after his sulking stunt in the stake
feature of yesterday. Charlie Ellison is about
ready to give Don Enrique up hopeless
proposition, and it would not be surprising should
he be running in selling races of the cheaper
sort ere long. A horse that is unreliable. such
as Don Enrique is almost than useless
as racing tool.
Jockey Goldstein has been booked TO do a good
part of Frank W.ir's riding from now on
S. c. Hildreth has for the first time in his
turf career passed the 100000 mark as win
ming owner His California winnings figure al
most altogether in the fine showing that he
made during 1903:
Charles Green was very lame yesterday fol-
lowing his poor showing of the day before at
short odds. 1t is thought that the pricking OF
may have been responsible.

Los Angeles
1t has been suggested in some quarters that
next year the admission fee the New York
tracks should be raised from So TO So and he
idea seems to be meeting with favor.
With q s. tariff the receipts undoubtedly would
be greater. and for that reason the associations
could afford to hang up fairly liberal stakes
and purses
AT present the legal advisers of the jockey
club are passive. but Il Is said that after New
Years many cases viii be tried in the courts
with the idea of finding out just what can be
