Racing Promised for the Ad mission Day Tournament Wheelmen will effectually own San Jos during the next week in fact for two weeks past the cyclers have had large share of public attention The medals and prizes for the coming races are on exhibition and they are certainly all that the Garden City Cyclers have claimed for them The notice medals are very handsome especially the gold one which has a large diamond setting The diamond alone eost over 40 It is undoubtedly a fact that the rider who wins the medal will lower the fastest time ever made on this coast for the novice event San Jose is going to make strong bid for this event especially the Garden City cyclers who have several very speedy riders entered in this race and as two food novice men Long and Nisson ropped out last Saturday the Garden City cjclers will evidently capture the diamond The work the riders are doing at the track is becoming exceedingly interesting and attracts large crowds there every afternoon The attendance out there Sunday numbered in the neighborhood of 300 including a number of the San Francisco riders who came down on the century among whom were if Yarney Walter Foster a Wells Walter Hern don and

miles than Grant and it is rumored that he stands a splendid show of winning the 75 overcoat offered to the rider breaking the coast record for that distance Grant was very much delighted with tne track and expressed his opinion that very fast time would be made on it Edwards and Alexander are now riding rival wheels and it is rumored they will ride for blood off the 9th which means some of the prettiest jacing yet seen on this coast In preparing their track the Garden City cyclers have taken special pains with the upper part of tlfc turns which will enable the scratch men to make much faster time The finishing touches are now being put on and the racers are all very profuse in their praise of its condition Southgate the champion cyclist of Texas is training a the track and is said to be getting into fine shape His brother who resides in San Jose is also training and is looked upon as a very promising dark horse Hellar of the Capital City Boad Club is another speedy dark horse of whom great things are expected All things considered it will not be surprising if San Jose captures a few of the eleeant prizes offered Captain Wyniw of the California Cy cling Club at San rancisco

brought to America were1 Iroquois St Blaize Diomed Priam and Ormonde The former was bred in America and was sent to England as a two year old to be prepared for the classic race Diomed and Priam died many years ago The story of the purchase of Ormonde is a little bit threadbare but a gentleman who was a subscriber to theib er PUUe Sport and Patlime a weekly paper of Buenos Ayreshas kept in his scrapbook the following interesting account of the incident says a writer in the New York Mail and Ezprett which may be prefaced by tnctober 1891 by a syndicate of whom the late Hume Webster master of the Midland Park stndwu the head The suicide of Hume Websterearly in 1893 put an end to these negotiations however and then OB Macdonougn a young and wealthy horseman of California planned to get

its drawbacks Nevada still has courage to raise and train a few horses The most prominent breeder In tha State is Theodore Winters His place is situated about fifteen miles south of Reno on the edge of Washoe lake in Washoe valley It la a model breeding establishment Mr Winters is the possessor of some 5000 acres of grazing and grain land and owns nearly the entire water right of the valley Since his removal from Califor nia he has made vast improvements in his barns and breeding establishments He has erected a barn with sixty stalls each stall being 20x20 feet and padded with canvas stuffed with excelsior stuffing The floors are filled to the depth of two feet with white sand There is a center court in the barn where winter training can be carried on At Mr Winters place there art twenty six yearlings undergoing the first lesson in race life The most prominent in the bunch is a big fellow by Joe Hooker dam Marion a full brother to To Tara bein and Yo El Rey He is nearer like El Rio Rey in contour and general lines than any of her colts Mr Winters has declined to have any bid made on the horse In fact he is a trifle superstitious on this question When The Czar was in his prime and showing to the world the promise of a world beater Mr Winters refused S20030 for him In ten days the grand youngster contracted a cold and died Later when El Rio Rey was the sensation of the season Mr Winters again refused a fortune and within a few days the horse came down with lung fever It was only after months of nursing that he could be moved to the coast and placed iff the stud He can never face a flag again as ho is a pronounced roarer mere are a numoer oi cons oy itey at the ranch and all bie fine ones His colts resemble himself in size and color They are all big boned and plenty of daylight plays under tnem here is every reason to believe that El Rio Rey will prove him fiotf tatrTtT ft it thanMin his ftlft Uorlolk Mr Winters no has a higher class of mares to breed to and will he more careful in the selection of blood lines Old Marion did not have a foal last year and as she is growing old it may be that she will never brine into the world another Rey If this is the case she deserves a home and good care for the good she has alreadv done Among the promising ual9 LIC1C is vuc Ij tiuiwi vsctixa asy Question a full brother to Penigreen and Bo Bo He is about tne

went back to Thompsons place a cripple Hewas fired for a blind splint and at last account was credited with being all right He is now taking stow work on the track at the ranch The Drummer will face

oi weignt sne nan to carry Centinella never went back to Nevada as she was disposed of on this side of the mountains Sen wick one of the four that went with Martinett is still a maiden He has been running in the Northern California circuit and as yet has been unplaced Bessie Shannon hag a filly colt following her by El Rio Ref It has the same appearance in size and form that mark the other colts from Rey Bessie Shannons yearlihg by Nee Ban died in a very mysterious way and some of the hands are of the opinion that fool play was used in this case Mr Thompson can not look for much success as he has neglected his line of brood mares With the exception of Bessie Shannon and Gersta by Wildidle he has nothing but cold blood Mr Thompson expects to start at the Glenbrook meeting and to go from there to Ren Key and then to Susan ville and Quincy In the programme the Nevada State fair holds out better conditions and more liberal purses than any small meet Lie on the coast This meeting rives the bang tail contingent more chances for their money than any of the meets in California The purses are divided into three monevs instead of the two that rule in Californias county fairs This always means a chance for get away moifey On the Carson track Lew Alien holds forth with four gallopers His pride and favorite is a two year old by Idle A dam May Blossom by Joe Hooker He is a fine big fellow and shows more of the Wildidle than the Hooker in his makeup A three year old filly by Idle A dam by Condor is a promising one and seems to be able to go the route The other two are short horses by Coftdor and hard to guess Carson seems to be the stronghold for the harness brigade IL Taylor is training six In his list be nas three coming stars Dexter by Dexter Prince should be his
