At the present time of writing twenty horses are eligible to face the barrier for ihe $10,000 prize,-and everything depends on the condition of the weather to-day as to how many of them.will respond to post call. While ‘half a 'dozen owners are hoping for rain, they are in the minority, for the others are burning Chirnese punks and doing all sorts of things to allay the frowning wrath of the weather god. - Then, too, the Jock- eys occupy the position’ of a prince of the royal blood, being in greater de- mand than a boss politiclan at election time. Fabulous sums have been offered to secure the services of two or three of the cracks. For gameness in this respect W. J. 8piers, owner of Acrobat, is probably entitled to the plum. Mr. Splers once lost. the great Suburban handicap with Major Domo, and s well aware of the fact that a comperent jockey 1s @ necessary commodity. If rain should fall in sufficlent- quantity to make the course muddy Baraey ber will not start Forte, and the bookmaker accepted an offer of $2000 from Owner Splers for second call on Bullman. Several other bids were in for the lad’s services if Forte was a non-starter, but this bold one far ex- ceeded them all. Should by any chance the elements become unruly F. W. Brode, Advance Guard, Olinthus, Forte and Rosor- monde could not be classdd among the dangerous ones, for rone of them has ever displayed a fondness for slushy going. On the other hand, Pat Mor- rissey, Imperious, Monrovia and Boundlee, all mudlarks and now on the doubtful list, will assuredly be start- ° ers. This sloppy footing would also boom the stock of Arbaces, Malay and Acrobat, all notorious mudders. . As the time for the race approaches a review of the weights assigned by Handicapper Brooks will show that he was not 8o severe with that one or 50 lentent with this one as a first glance would Indicate. Indeed, the thing now wears a very hard look. Dr. Sheppard and Arbaces, two of the top welghts supposed to be anchored, have started since the publication of the allotments and created a favokable impression. In fact, both are mentioned as proba- ble winners. David Tenny, one of those - mentioned by the kickers as thrown in, started on Wednesday and WILL SPORI SILK IN THE RICH BURNS HANDICAP. startled his friends by finishing lengths behind the first three. The smart ones are a unit almost in declaring the three-year-olds—Advance Guard, ‘W. Brode, Erwin and Constellator— out of it at the weights, and they may fooled. In the saddle will be seen a great galaxy of stars. Spencer, Jenkins, Tommy Burns, Thorpe, Bullman, Ross, Jones, Piggott, Henry, T.

The stake is lim- ited to eight entries, selected as follows: Connemara, Chicago Boy, Lily of the West, Golden Rule, Flora McDonald, Hawker, Rocker and either Luxor or Beacon from the kennels of Curtis & Sons. Luxor, the winner of the John Grace chal- lenge cup, is the one most desired, but his fall in the sensational final course left him stiff and sore and he may not be in condition to defend his great reputation. The seven gourses required to, decide the possession of the $250 purse offered by the management will all be run during the afternoon, the various rounds being inter- spersed with other coursing. If this Pproves the success anticipated such stakes will be a feature every month during the season. Through the resignation of Frank Moran as president of the California Coursing Committee the governing body of the sport on this coast has been reorganized. . A. Deckelman of Ingleside Coursing Club has been elected president and J. A. Klein vice president. r. Moran contem- plates a trip to Manila, hence his resigna- tion. 2 Both Union Park and Ingleside Park offer attractive open stakes as their re- ;Y;cuve cards this week. At the former ety-six high-class dogs will go to the slips. The majority of the dogs trained for the big cup stake of last week are again in the running. The only notable absentees are: Luxor, Connemara and Whitehead. Among the entries are: War- ship, Crawford Braes, Log Boy, Brutus, Lottie M, Lady Clare, ‘'orget, Maater Clair, Thornhill, For Glory, Kid McCoy, Rock Island Boy, Plough Boy, Rocker, Bad Boy, Flying Fox, Sweet Emma, Green Valley Maid, Bohe, 'Belle Clair, ' Royal Flush, Theron, Forest King, Victor King, Crawford Lad and Beauty Spot. Coursing will commence to-day upon the arrival of the 10:15 a. m. train. There will also be a 1 g'clock train. At Ingleside elghty dogs of excellent class will go to the slips. Coursing will commence to-day at 12 o'clock. _Among the entries are Miss Skyrocket, Hawker, Young America, Manila, Black Hawk, Chlc-lgo Boy, Greenhall, Ben's Babe.

As there are over 150 greyhounds upon which the first t of entry fees has been made It 1§ evident the entrv will be a large one. All the youngsters |- which made their debut in the Belle Bran- don stake are eligible, and the majority of them, barring accidents, will start. They will have become seasoned campaigners b{ that time and high class performances should result. T. A. Gaffney's False Flatterer was bred gno. J.
