CALIFORNIA BRED
COLTS DO WELL
Two Year OIdS Raised at Napa
Stock Farm Making Good
on Eastern Tracks

Two year olds bred at the Napa stock
farm of Adolph Spreckels and which
carried the colors of George Berry at
Emeryville and on the New York
tracks performed SO well that several
of them were purchased by eastern
turfmen at good prices. Aldria, which
won several times since he made his
metropolitan debut, was sold to p S.
p Randolph at Belmont park Later
he was taken with catarrhal fever,
but soon recovered ani won a purse
for his new owner at Gravesend yes
terday
few days ago Berry sold Antenor
to George Kraus for the reported price
OF $4,000 and disposed of Kormak to
Sam Hildreth for $4,000. Antenor Is a
full brother to Voorhees,, now in the
stud at Napa farm. He is youn gster
of handsome conformation and Berry
was enthusiastic about him all year.
After winning at Belmont park he
started in the National stallion stakes,
but lost all chance at the start, being
bumped when the barrier went up and
Knocked to his knees. After that Shil-
ling did not ride him out.
kormak is a son of Puryear d and
events at Emeryville.
Berry realized good prices for the
youngsters taken east last year and
indications point to even better sue
cess in that direction this season. The
prices realized for Antenor and Kor-
max show that there is still a market
in the east for horses capable of win
ming.
Pat Dunno continues to add to his
stable. He paid John Madden $4,000
for Planter, a colt by Orlando. Dunno
is reported to have a fleet filly in
Crash, a daughter of MCGEE, an English
horse Edward Corrigan brought to the
United States.
Jockey Frank O'Neil is a shining ex-
ample of rider retiring from the
saddle only to return and show fine
form. The American heads the jockey
list in France this season, Stern being
his closest rival
California King and Stokes, two
cross country horses that carried the
colors of Thomas Hitchcock Jr in
France with success, have broken
down. California King was bred at
the Napa stock farm and was presented
by Adolph Spreckels to Enoch Wishard
some years ago.
There is much interest in the turf
world as to the outcome of a confer
ence held with Governor Hughes of
New York on the matter of the recent
legislation affecting betting in that
state. 1t was planned that August Bel
mont, chairman of the Jockey club,
! should be among the Representatives of
the turf interests present, but an in
| jury sustained while playing polo pre-
vented his attendance.
Joseph S Auerbach, attorney for the
Jockey club, appeared at the hearing
and made a final plea for the contin-
uation of racing in New York, urging
Governor Hughes to veto the Agnew :
Perkins bills passed during the last
10 days of the legislative session.
Auerbach delivered some forcible ar
guments. but no announcement has
been made as to whether they had any
effect upon Governor Hughes.
The bills in question, If signed by the
governor go into effect in September.
