BIG MONEY FOR HORSE MEET
Four Stakes Of $4,000 Each Among
Attractions Held Out for Horse
men at San Francisco.

Four stakes worth $4,000 each, for
both trotters and PAGERS, will be
among the attractive features Of the
harness race meetings to be held In
connection with the Panama-Pacifc
international exposition at San Fran
cisco in 1915. Two Of these stakes
will be made the leading inducements
to international racers from all over
the world. These, with but two excep-
tions, will be the richest stakes ever
given on the harness turf.
The best stake given in America to
date was the $4,000 pacing division Of
the $4,000 American derby, raced
over the Readville track. Ten thou
sand-dollar events for PAGERS have
been given out rarely; purses with a
total value of $4,000 have been the
customary allotment for side-wheelers.
Daniel o. Lively, chief of the de-
partment of live stock of the Panama
Pacific international exposition, has,
officially announced that two harness
race meetings will be held at San
Francisco in 1915. The two meetings
two weeks Of racing in June and
two weeks in 0ctober-will be held
under the auspices of the Pacific Trot-
ting Horse Breeders association.
Chief Lively has already directed g.
schedule to be drawn up by ]. @. Kirk
patrick, l. L. Borden, J. A. McKerron
and Secretary F. w. Kelley Of the Pa
oific association.
The race program will approximate
$225,000 offered In stakes and purses
In addition to prizes in trophies and
plates.
At an early date there will be pub
lished simultaneously for distribution
IN America and abroad a diagram and
tentative program which has been pre-
pared in 80 simple and yet so COM
prehensive a manner that horsemen
win easily grasp its most salient fea-
lures. The liberal conditions that ac-
company the program are such as VIII
readily appeal to horsemen from all
countries.
