BedWell Comes
To Emeryyille
Next Thursday
Successful Owner May Change
Mind About Shipping His
String to Juarez

w. H. Christie of Emeryville received
telegram yesterday from II. C. Bed
well at Latonia saying that he will be
out here next Thursday. The messag
did not state whether he would bring
any horses, but it is thought that the
successful owner may change his plans
regarding shipping to Juarez and bring
the stable west. Five horses owned
by Bedwen are at Emeryville, having
been raced at the northern tracks dur
ing the summer. Dainty Belle is the
best of the string There are oyer 90
horses in the stable at Latonia, and
among them are some very clever per-
formers Taplin has been visiting his
family at Fresno and Bedwell may de-
eide to leave him here and race at
Emeryyille exclusively.
The Bedwell horses and Jockey Tap
lin have been very successful since last
spring and they viii have many fol-
that the owner decides to race there.
1t is expected that about 200 horses
will arrive at the Oakland track within
the next two weeks. The blockade at
the Shasta tunnel that delayed six car
loads of horses coming from Vancouver
was raised yesterday. One carload
came in from Salt Lake City yesterday
and another is due from Ogden tomor-
row. In the latter are seven owned by
f. j. Ramsey, three by f. E. Baird and
three others are in the stable of Stew
art Polk. The Blakeley string and the
horses of Walter Jennings, James Mac
Manus and w. T. Anderson are other
additions.
Secretary Treat received a letter from
Williams & Walker at Arcadia saying
they would ship 16 horses from that
track. Six are scheduled to leave to-
day while the others will be sent north
as soon as a car is obtained.
There was much excitement in the
vicinity of the Emeryville track Thurs
day night, owing to a fire which com
pletely destroyed a building close to the
track fence. Only the prompt work of
a force of men under Superintendent
James j. Grant prevented much further
damage. Some colored men were cook
ing when one of them turned on the
gasoline in the stove and struck a
match. The flames shot up and quickly
spread. Grant, Jim Neil. Paddy Lynch
ans others in the vicinity quickly
manned the track fire apparatus and
had the flames under control before the
enoines of the fire department arrived.

eryville will be the Opening handicap
