plans of the New California Jockey
club 1t will mean a liberal shipment

lonts in the east and Canada in ad-
dition to the horses that are partici-
pating in the meetings of the inter-
mountain circuit

will continue for 150 days. Last sea-
son there was only guarantee OF
sixty days racing, and number Of
owners refrained from shipping over
the mountains, but with the assurance
nd FOL n
increased purses there is every indi-
cation that the sport will be of high
class order.
Roy Selden is proving to be the star
among the riders who are on the Salt
Lake-B Butte circuit. During the salt
Lake meeting he led the list, riding 27
winners, while w. Fischer was second
with 16 victories, Powell & Parker were

According to a report from Charles
ton, S. c., plans are being formed for
the building of a $250000 racetrack
there. 1t is hoped to have racing there
in 1911.
Jockey Eddie Dugan is slowly re-
covering from the attack of pneumo-
MIA which has confined him to his bed
for about a month. The stewards of
the jockey club of New York have
taken no action on the matter of his
suspension for rough riding, and it is
possible that he may not be allowed
to ride during the remainder of the
season.
H. G. Bedwell. who is under suspen-
sion from the turf, still has his big
string of horses at Latonia, but he is
at sea as to Just what move to make.
He has written the Kentucky state
racing commission that he considers
the ruling against him far from fair
in not allowing him to dispose of his
horses.
1t is expected Chairman Clay of the
racing commission will call a meeting
early in August and that Bedwell will
then go before the commission to seek
relief at least to the extent of getting
the assurance that the horses will be
restored to good racing standing when
ever they change hands.
Bedwell does not expect to get any
thing like full value for his horses,
but from the way things have gone he
is willing to make the sacrifice and get
out of racing, though he ultimately
hopes to be restored to good standing
on the turf.
