A starter has not as yet been named, though Sam Morton seems ble man on the scene. Could the gentlemen present be induced to ace-pt the meeting would unaoubtedly be a success.

In an interview Mr. Rose said there was no lacking of funds, but that all along the difficulty had been in securing the proper men to place at the head of the venture so as to secure good racing and honest sport, and it seemed now as though this had been accomplisaed.

For George Barnes was known to two generations in San Francisco, and all the way up tiarough his long liie he bad won friendsnips that clung to him to the end.

Mr. Barnes was a notaoly handsome man. He was tall and straight and built as though for a model, with easy and digni- fied carriage. His manner was marked by old scnool,” and big and dignified as he was the humblest of men and \he gamin of the street felt no besitaucy in approaching him. Indeed, s0 marked was the characteristic that it was & source of great expense to him, though he thought of it as salt.
