JUnk, Jr's. handsome chestnut colt. The Fob: Polonlus and Organdie each had three pounds off, and the winner and second horse each ran with a maiden al- i jowanco oi ten huuuub. Whether Krishna would hae won with full weight up It 13 hard to decide He certainly won easily, and another live pounds would not hao stopped him, but he might not have liked ten extra. Nexvator ran a really nice race.

He has a line turn of speed and Minder's Instructions evidently were to use It and tiptoo the field. Good policy with speed and light weight, and It would hao been eminently successful but for Krishna having just as little weight and rather more speed. But the Brutus colt ran a wonderfully game race, for after being rushed to the front, and making all the running, he was ridden out all through the stretch trjing to keep company with Krishna and then, when beaten, hung on and stood off Organdie's and Tho Fog's double rush in tho llnal sixteenth. The Tog lost the show money by a head to Organdie, which, next to the inner, ran the best race, when weight Is considered. She is a Bweet bit of horseflesh and can beat tho second horee, Ncrvator, both with full weight up.

though ft. year from now ho probably will be tho better race horse. The Fog unfortunately Is not quite sound In front, considering which he ran a ery nice race much better than his two preparatory efforts, when ho appeared to be looking on. Had the track been Eoft or Floppy last Saturday he would have been very dangerous. He Is a well-built colt, a little more compact than the winner, and but for a bad knee would be a high-class race horse.

This big filly. Honlton. Is fast, and she can carry her speed six furlongs and further, though she str kea me as too long in back and waist toynake a great race marc.

5IECTING CRUSHED IN BUD. "What at first promised to develop into a pretty turf war throughout the State of California has died a-bornlng-, or practically so. J. W. Brooks, who waa the official handlcappcr and secretary here last season nnd who had been dropped from his position, sought to pull off a midwinter meetings of forty days' racing at Los Angeles.

But Thomas H. Williams hended him and his principal backer, Caesar Young, off by Issuing an announcement that tho New California Jockey Club holds the reins of turf government in the whole State, and that licenses for all meetings must be obtained from it, or the promoters and all horses, owners, trainers and jockejs would be outlawed. This drew Brooks on to ask for a license, which promptly a refused him for any dates earlier than April Brooks howled and vowed he would apply to the "Western Jockey Club, but he seems to have flattened right out.
