List of the Lads Who Are to Have Mounts at This Meeting. There has never been such a great num- ber of good jockeys on this coast as there | is at present, and two more celebrated | ones—Fred Taral and Sam Doggett—are to arrive here next week. Those already housed at the track are: Andy Blakely and McCullough, the well-known steeple- chase riders; Marty Bergen, W. Martin, Jerry Chorn, Tod Sloane, Macklin,Cochran, Garner, C. Flynn, Riley, Rowan, J. John- son, Swift, Stanford, Coady. Chevalier, Slaughter, Shaw, Donnelly, , McIntyre, McClain, Burnsand Hinrich These jockeys and their valets haye an immense room under the grand stand, where each is furnished with a separate locker for his colors, whip, boots and the usual paraphernalia. The place is fur- nished with lavatories and every other convenience. The exit from the room 1s through a door leading into a narrow passageway; on the other side is the room where the lads are weighed before mount- ing. In this manner they are kept away | from the annoying throng of people that | usually surround them. From the weigh- ing-room it is but a step to the sadaling- paddock. A STABLES AND PADDOCK. The Two Principal Features Which the Horse-Owners Delight. In There are two features of the Pacific | Coast Jockey Club track at Ingleside that commend themselves particularly to horse- men and make this course superior to any in the United States. They are, first, the stables, built by Campbell Bros. after the plans submitted by Superintendent Allen. There are twenty-two buildings in all, sep- arate and distinct, for stabling purposes, able to accommodate 660 horses in stalls that are ly palatial as compared to anything ever seen on a racetrack in this country. That end of the building facing thé west, from which the wind is more likely to blow, is built up solid and pro- tects all the other stalls, and an eight-foot walk around them all. The roof spreads out on all walk alike from the weather. All the buildings are substantial and are furnished with all necessary conveniences. Within easy reach of these twenty-two stables are the houses, fourteen in num- ber, used as kitchens and dining-rooms for the stable-boys. Inthis way the horse owner can haveall his people in one house, away from foreign influences and living a one united family. Mr. Corrigan, forin stance, has some twenty-five people who dwell in one of these cottages. ca where a stable has but a couple of boys they may join in with others of different stables and form one mess. Besides the convenience and beauty of separ; stables and kitchens there is this inestimable advantage and satisfaction that the dangerof fire or other catastrophe is greatly lessened. The second predominating feature of the track is the saddling padaock. There are twenty odd stalls, such as might be used | at a horse show. Each i surrounded by a wooden fence four feet high and topped with a strong wire netting, through which the horse may be viewed hy the interested, but which prevents the annoyance of crowds pressing about the horses and | touching them. This is safer for the pub- | lic, keeps them away from the jockey and his grooms and leaves less latitude for temptation to wrongdoing. et THE CLUB OFFICE. Those Men Who Make It Easy for Others by Handling the Detalls. It would be unfair to publish anything about the Pacific Coast Jockey Club’s bow to the public on the Ingleside Track with- out mentioning Secretary Leake, Mr. Cul- | len and Captain Merry, the three gentle- men who have arranged all those minutie which are so annoying to the heads of de- partments and to the public when not carefully handled by competent people prior to the opening of any race meeting. Mr. Leake, the present Postmaster of Sacramento, 18 thoroughly conversant with the machine end of a racing club, ana, as secretary of the Jockey Club, he has piloted its meetings through without a hitch aund sides'so as to protect stails and | | | In the | { | with a foresight that isshowing itself now, on the eve of the ovening day, when it can be seen that nothing has been left undone. He has a magnificent assistant in Mr. Cul- len, the essence of poliieness and tact, and who can do more work than anybody else with less labor. Captain B.Merry was born in NewYork in 1834 and came to California in 1853. He has reported races longer than any man living at the present time, having begun in 1856. Not even Joseph Cairn Simpson is longer in the field than the captain, who, how- ever, is a younger man. Captain Merry was master of steamboats on the Oregon rivers and served as United States com- missionerat the World's Fair at Melbourne in 1888 under Hon. Frank McCoppin. He is now the good friend of newspaper men il} t,he office of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club. James F. Calawell is ane of the oldest and best-known starters in America. He will handie the flag at the Pacific Coast Jockey Club’s all pleased to know it. meeting and the jockeys are There is a great deal In_the way of a recommenda- tion when the riders have no “kigk” regarding the starter. It means simply that he is known to be fearless ana though not a martinet, and will- ve the starlers an even chance re- g of stables. Everybody in the racing business will remember ‘*Polo Jim,” Caldwell’s assistant, who died about two vears ago. His fame was almost world- wide, and to this day it seems as though Caldwell is not himself when on the track unaccompanied by his faithful assistant. Caldwe!l is in demand on every racetrack in the United States, but the Pacific Coast Jockey Club has secured him at a salary equivalent to more than the President of | the United States received before the latrer was *‘raised.” — - POLICE PATROL. Captain Callundan of Morse’s Agency Will Be in Charge. Harry Morse, the veteran detective who has so well managed to Keep the rough element down in the past few years on many racetracks, has again been enlisted by thie Pacific Coast Jockey Club to look after the welfare of 1ts patrons. Captain Jules Callundan and a corps of twenty special men will patrol every por- tion of the racetrack night and day, insur- ing the right kind of people against abuse, insult or even inconvenience. TR ANOTHER BIG EVENT. Forty - Five Nominations in the Horse-Show Assoclation Stakes. The next biggest event to take place on | the ninth day of the meeting will be the Horse-show Association stakes. It is to be ahandicap sweepstake for two-yeas- olds. The association guarantees the value of the race $1500. Entrance, $10 each, to accompany the nomination; $25 addi- tional to start.

This Is the second greatest race on the American turf. H.H.Hunn, who trains Mr. Hobart's horses, picked out Bright Phcebus and purchased him for his employer for $5000 only a few days before he won the Realization stakes and pald for himself six times over. The colt is entered and s a probable starter in the Palace Hotel stake on Thanksgiving day at the Pacific Coast Jockey Club meeting at Ingleside track.

Libertine, four-year-old, by Leonatus-Falalse. Libertine holds the world's record for one mile, 1:38%4, achieved on October 24, 1894, on the Harlem track, Chicago. He then carried ninety pounds.

Kamsin has won seven races this season and is now entered in all the big stakes here. He is probably next to Crescendo, the best two- year-old here. At Coney Island, with Griffin up, carrying 115 pounds, he won the Sapphire stakes, $2000. Kamsin, while not a Domino or a Potomac, is a very honest and consistent periormer. A. B. Spreckels’ b. ¢. Cadmus, five-year-old, by Flood, sire of Floodmore, the great steeplechaser, dam imp. Cornelia, by Isonomy, the greatest cup horge of the last forty years. Cadmus’ best achieve. ment is unquestionably his race in the mud last year against the celebrated Lissak in the Spreckels $10,000. He carried top weight, and finished a good second. Carr, his rider, gathered noless than twenty pounds of mud on the journey from wire to wire, Cadmus has always shown great stayiag powers and is amarvelons weight-packer.
