RACE AT SARATOGA
In Stakes; Big Chief Presented
to Napa Stock Farm for
Stud Duty

Q. A. Townsend has given out the list
of Emeryville entries in the Saratoga
| fixtures, and, from the list, 1t will be
surprising if some of the horses that
i have raced across the bay do not figure
close up in the running of the big
stakes
Barney Schreiber made about 80 en-
| tries through Townsend, but none of
his stake horses is on the coast The
list includes the mighty Jack Atkin,
rated second to King James; Nealon,
which is coming back to his old form;
Vreeland and Sager, the latter starting
today in the derby at Jacksonville.
w. T. Anderson has entered his good
filly Helen Barbee and JacqueIina, 8
year old. in the Saratoga events. Jac-
quelina has not started here, but prob
ably will be seen in action before An
derson ships east, which will not be be-
fore the end of the Emeryville meet
ing. The entries given out by Town

Big Chief, the racehorse by Pontiac.
for which President Thomas H. Will
liams paid $4,000, has been honorably
retired from the turf. While Williams
retains title to the once great racer,
he has made a present of his services
as sire to the best breeding farm in
California-Napa stock farm. Man
ager Berry will mate him with some
of the choicest mares at the ranch. and
horsemen will wait anxiously for the
result Big Chief was recently declared
from the Suburban and Brooklyn ham
dicaps, after Billy Cahiil had proved
that he was not fit to race.
Preiuicio has a bowed tendon, and
will not race here again this season.
Moore is going to send the big sprinter
down to Long Beach for a summer s
rest, and will prepare him on half
mile track for next winters races.
Guy Grey is going to fire Servile for
a bad ankle today. The horse is good
one at a mile or more, and was sup
posed to have ringbone. The ankle is
of the kind that can be cured and Ser
vile will probably win when he goes to
Salt Lake.
G. NJ. Johnson has fired J. Fl. Barr
for a bad ankle, and will turn him out
for the summer. Raleigh p D is max
- nf
poison. and will go to the pastures
with his stable mate.
Barney Schreiber is going to visit
his Woodlands ranch tomorrow. The
mares up there are coming on with
their foals. and the genial German wants
to look them over
DIR. Gardner has come back to the
track from Los Angeles. He reports
that all the roses have left the south
ern track and the gates are locked, but.
he says, the track is in such perfect
condition that they could race on 1T to-
morrow.
Plunger MacManus sent Sepulveda east
in Daggie Smiths car. Rosslare will
be turned out for a summers rest after
the Emeryville meeting closes. Rocky
O'Brien and some good year olds will
carry MacManus colors in the east.
Jockey Rice will ride here for a week
| or two longer and then go to Kentucky
to fulfill his contract with Johnny Far
ris. who will start some good ones at
| Louisville.
| Colonel Bibbins, who has been an
active bettor in the ring at Emeryville,
| is planning trip to Europe, which will
! include attendance at the English derby.
| When he comes back he may have a
stable of his own across the bay. With
his money and his liking for the game,
he ought to be a, big factor in future
| racing on the coast.
