At San Jose in the fall "Big" Wells rode like a flond in third mile and in one of the moat sensational races of history, in which men finished inches apart, six within two feet, the judges giving him a victory over Baid, Murphy, Cooper, KIsei and Randall. Wells Is the holder of the three-quarter mile paced record, and is a man that, now that he is acclimated to the 13a stern climate, should do well on the circuit.

Terrlll started his past season on a pacing machine and this seemed to slow him for race work. Outside of two handicaps, early in June, he made no showing. He seems to have started the present season well and may come through all right. He will make the experiment. Walter Foster, the old-timer, met Weils and Terrlll in two races on the "sugar howl" track and met defeat.

Wells' riding on the small track Is but a continuation of hla victorious career on the eight-lap Indoor track at the Pavilion In San Francisco, when he was the star. By winnings he steps to second position In the points and prize winnings table. In his first race of the circuit, at San 'Jose, he fell and his riding of yesterday overcame some of tho defeats at that time and placed him fourth in percentages, with .665. Terr Ill's two first rides net him the same percentage and placed him fifth, with the same mark as Wells. Coulter was defeated by these two riders, his percentage falling to .789.

Foster Injured his percentage by his defeats. Was the First of the Scrips to Df) Held on That Track, and tibon Crowds und Botelnir Postponement Will Be. Taken, Tor Day for the Toronto McctlfesM- lYanuvllle Men'Prescnt. i .1 i Windsor, Ont Mny 20. Despite mors at Nashville to the contrary i' the meeting at this place has been a success-.

Good crowds have been, in attendance and the booking has been good. The first of the series of meetings to be held at this track will closeFrl-day, and, a postponement will be'had for the Toronto meeting, which begins Saturday-and runs through tho next week. All the best of the American horseB are going down to the Toronto meeting, as well as many of the bookmakers now doing business at Windsor, notably Marcus Cartwrlght, Judge Dul-lng, James Parmer, Tim Harry Johnson and John Glenn. Among the stables that will ship to Toronto are R. A.

Smith, with Old Dominion and others; W. O. Scully, with lael, Buckwa, Beguc, J. Hardy, with Booze, Miss Rowett, Miss Young and some eight others; T. C.

Cook, with Truxlllo; William Brlen, with Gov. Sheehan, Storm King, the sensational 2-year-old that cut the record at Cumberland J. Spiers, with O'Connoll, Llzetta, Elano and others. William Barrick will also ship down Maurice and Sunup, both having been entered In the handicap. The Toronto people have been up to Wlndsot and given all the Americans invitations to race with them.

Tho first to engage their horses were the Sohoen-field people, and they expect to pull off several good things with Sublto, Bounding Cecil and Imp. Sauteur, the triple winner at Nashville. In making engagements at Toronto, and having met with such friendly welcome, what little prejudice the Cana dians had against our people and horses has all died away, and many Canadian horses are promised for the next meeting at'WIndsor, which begins one week from next Monday. Windsor will then have a month's meeting in June, and It will be continued right up to the great meeting at Montreal, which begins on the 1st of July. I must not enter Into the other Canadian meetings until I say something of the meeting at this place.

By a glance at the fields from day to; day one can readily see that this meeting has had better fields and better racing and bettor time than either Louisville or St. Louis for the reason thercf better class of horses at this trackjttian at cither Louisville or St. Louis. Wnen I say class I know full well that Louisville has her Ben B'rush and Ben Eder, and St. Louis her Assignee and Buck-massie.

Class does not mean the top notchers, but class as to numbers. There are fully four hundred horses on the grounds here, and nearly every Tiprsa Is ready to race, consequently lrt every event the fields number from eight to fifteen. Tho game here Is growing and each day It Improves, and ordinarily the management would not stop were, it not for the fact that the Canadians have been good patrons and they have been' very sollcltlous that the Americans should move down to Toronto and give her people some high class raolng, and they are going. I must toll you something about Montreal. Tho same management at Windsor has leased the track at Montreal, and will give a high class meeting at the eld English course, Bell Air; the most celebrated of all the Canadian race courses, It being located right In the city of Montreal, the largest city in the Dominion.

The track lies right along the banks, of the St. Lawrence River, and everyone who has visited tho place says the appointments are as good as can bo found anywhere In the States. The people around Montreal are Jubilant that a high class meeting Is to be given there, and to friendly Interest In the enterprise they have subscribed Jo.OOO to the racing fund, besides they have turned over to tho new organization the Queen's plate, subscribed by Her Majesty, and the same will be raced for during the coming meeting; also the Walker cur, a most valuable gift from the millionaire brewers, Hiram Walker Sons. Now it will be of Borne Interest to our American horsemen to know that the gentlemen who will join hands with the Canadians In giving this meeting ara Capt. J.

W. Price, Ira E. Bride, George C. Fuller and W. O.

Parmer. By commoncliig tho meeting on June 80 several holidays will be had during the time, tho first of Importance being Dominion day, which is on the first of July. Already the papers throughout Canada are flooded with notices of the coming meeting and great crowds are expected. Montreal is a city of 300,000, is one of the most beautiful of all cities, and It has more wealth than anyi two cities In the Dominion of Canada. After the close at Montreal the horses' will be shipped back to Windsor and the meeting continued until the commencement of the fall meetings South.

jH the stables here will be shipped right back down the line. The first of thb fall meetings of any Importance wlU be held at Nashville, after which Montgomery will open up her Initial meeting, and then Birmingham will give her meeting, after which, horses that do not go to New, Orlenns will go Into winter quarters at Montgomery, Nashville and Birmingham. Having such a good lot of horses wintering in tho South the largest number that has ever before wintered below the Mason and Dixon lino, good mcetlngB in tho South In tho spring aro assurrod. Judging from the number of stables already engnged' more people will winter at Nashville than over before. W.

O. Palmer, although very busy shaping programmes for the meetings at Windsor, Montreal and Montgomery, yet never mlsseB an opportunity to put In a blow for the coming yearling sales at St. Louis May 30 and June 6. He has already arranged for many buyers to accompany him from here, to the sales, he having made arrangements for a very low rate to that city. As racing Is on a boom here in Canada the Canadians should be liberal buyers at.

STAT80I The percentage and prize winnings One of the prominent riders of the path was engaged In conversation the other day, and In the course of an Interesting talk, he said: "In the old dais they sold races. I could never sell a race.

That would be rank dishonesty. I am not In this' business to make all that I can In any way that I can, but I nm here to make all I can honestly, and that Is the way I am going to make it. I do not believe that it would be possible in these days to ever fix a ruce, especially on the national circuit, for the entries are far too numerous and tho men have too much at stake. Why, all the racing men on the path, expect some day to go into business, and who under the sun would hire a dishonest professional. Yes, I know that the old timers who faked are now In positions of trust, lots of them, but what of that? When they raced there was but few of them and they were admittedly fakirs of the cleverest sort.

We are not fakirs and we want people to know It. We are In the business just the same to-day as in those days when we were racing for diamonds and when the race meet promoters were the fakirs in cheating us as they did. To-day It is different. In raping for cash we have the best of the race promoter, for he must pay in the coin of the realm. He must pay what he advertises ahd there is a method of finding out that the prizes are up to value that of the touch.

No, you may say that no races will ever be faked that I compete In, for I shall go and give It all away the very first time that anything of the kind is broached to me. Thnt is one point that mtaTccs it certain that faking will never go. Some of ui expect to race next year and th2 next year, and all of us want to come from the race track with as clean a record us though we had been keeping books, selling wheels on the road or filling any position of trust. This we can do by keeping "racing honest and this Is what we (I speak for myself and for 90 per cent, of racing men, anyway, and I hope, for 100 per cent. want to do and will do.

The 10 per If there Is 10 per can never make racing dishonest, for 90 per cent, will outvote and outride them, too, at every turn of the game. That, I think, is the way to put It and I trust to see racing men revered at the end of 1S9G as the followers of no other Bport have ever been, and I trust to see cycle racing on a plane that will give It the name of the national Bport of America." This racing man Is a man of good education nnd his Ideas are certainly those of nil good, true sportsmen In tho cycle racing line to-day. The crowd that enters tho professional field Is one of gentlemen all through, and men tion toward the promotion of the sport at heart. The result will be seen in the attitude of tho makers towards the sport In '97, for It. Is generally thought that the makers are laying low at present, und that when they see tho professional sport received by the American people with open arms their position toward the promltlon of the sport will be changed.

Sanger predicts that within six weeks the makers will bo tumbling over themselves for riders, nnd Sanger may bo right. The turning out of tons of thousands at the early meets of the year, The enthusiasm over all professional races, the good clean make up of the fields of professionals the fact that all of tho best amateurs are going out after tho mighty dollar, and many other things will serve to show the makers that a mistake was made when it was thought that the people would never accept professional sport. Tho racing men themselves are keeping a stiff upper lip in these days whan many of tho most makers nre opposing their Interests. For Is opposition when these makers give It out that no teams will be supported. Meet promoters gnln the Idea that no teams are to be present at their moot and thus lose interest in the sport.

The American racing man is indepndent. His American blood is strong. He wlllgo tho circuit and if not nt the expense of, those that should be wilting to pay his expenses, at his own expense. The meet promoters will necessarily then, in order to secure tho entry, give prize of sufllclnt value to enable a man to Blngly and alone wage the battle and to enter tho field without backing. It Is generally conceded that one year of success will bring a reign of cycle vnclng for the year of '97 the like of which was never planned by the most enthusiastic.

The year of '97 will bo the greatest In the history of the sport, and those who help by good riding and horn est racing to bring this about the present season will reap the harvest in tht THE PBRCENTAGia TABLE.
