EmeryviHe

William Walker will race a strong
son which opens Saturday. November
IL. Secretary Percy w. Treat of the
New California jockey club yesterday
received a letter from Walker at Mon
treal applying for stalls for Is horses.
He did not state when he would ship
to the coast but it is likely he will be
on hand for the opening of the meet
ing.
Walker has enjoyed considerable sue
cess on the metropolitan and Canadian
tracks this season. He has a number
of high class performers. among them
Stanley Fay, a horse well known on
local tracks. Noon, purchased from
John f. Madden, has also figured prom
inently in races. He is year old
by Planudes- s-Greenwich.
Others in the Walker stable are
Chepontuc. Belle Kingston. Lesear. Ell
gin, Prettyone, Adriuche and Apologize.
Stanley Fay should prove TO be an i'm
portant factor in the stakes across the
bay IL he displays his best eastern
form.
Secretary Treat also received a COM
munieation regarding the meeting from
another Canadian owner. He is W. l.
McCracken, secretary and treasurer of
the Thoroughbred Horse Breeders As
soeiation of Western Canada. Nc
Cracken has Lexington Lady, Ruby
Bird and The Shrimp.
Fred Owen, who returned yesterday
from a trip to New York and other
points. reports that there is much inter
est throughout the country in the COM
ing Emeryville meeting. He learned
that number of owners plan to ship
to California for the first time. Owen
says that many visiting turfmen will
spend the winter on the coast.
H. NJ Zeigler is planning to ship
Hermis to France next month with the
idea of finding a market for him in that
country, where racing is prosperous.
Hermis Is represented on the turf in
this country by Helene. a very clever
performer. Zeigler thinks that Hermis
will get his opportunity abroad, and he
most likely will be sent to the stud of
Baron Rothschild, whose trainer, i. d.
O'Khuysen, had a talk with Zeigier
before he returned to this country.
The Napa stock farm bred filly Edda
proved a surprise at Montreal Monday
when she beat Sempronius head. The
Carman colt was an oddson favorite
and was leading in the stretch, but
Archibald went from pull TO drive
and he could not stand of the rush of
the Schorr filly with Guy Burns in the
saddle.
Sam Hildreth's stable-iS one of the
big eastern establishments still quar-
tered at Saratoga. Hildreth was lib
eral nominator in Toronto, Montreal and
Fort Erie stakes, and when he put his
horses in these races he fully intended
to. race on the Canadian circuit. Be
cause of his inability TO get away from
Saratoga at the time he intended Hill
dreth made UP his mind to cut out Can
ada and ship to Kentucky for the La
tonia and Louisville fall meetings. The
only Canadian race in which Hildreth
is likely TO have a starter is the $4,000
Dominion handicap. a contest of one
mile and quarter. Fitzherbert is
likely to carry his colors.
John Walters, acting for Canadian
turfman, has opened negotiations with
Captain ]. T. Williams at Louisville for
the purchase of the crack year old
Governor Gray. Captain : Williams
named $4,000 as his price for the
youngster. and it is improbable that
the sale will be consummated.
