There are veral reasons for In the first place the names of members of the club were drawn and many of them had no intention of competing.

Aside from this, however, the regular players seem to prefer practice games to tournament play The biggest surprise in months was the defeat of Y. C.

Mr. Reid hag always bowled well, but it was not thought he would dispose of a man as skillful as his opponent. The match s a scientific one and closer than the re indicates.

Pleasanton Track Turns Out Two-Minute Trotter Again This Summer. e Only a few short months ago the wiseacres among the trotting horse fanciers throughout the country were] ying there would never be another trotter like Lou Dillon. California, the | land of promise for the horsemen, has upset all thes predictions while the laurel is still { n on the proud neck of the trotting queen by giving to the; world another two-minute trotter in J. R. Springer’s Sonoma Girl. A year ago Mr. Springer came down from Idaho, broken in health, and bought the mare, which is by Lynwood W (2:20)-Maud Fowler, partly as an in- | At | expect to make their clever footwork | centive to keep him out of doors. the time there were many sly winks, as the trainers at Pleasanton thought he had purchased a goldbrick. How far from the truth this is may be judged by the following extravagant praise ac- corded the unexpected rival to Lou Dillon by a writer in the Breeder and Sportsman: That's Sonoma Girl. Ain't she a peach? “sne's a goou looking mare, but tney tell me she'll stop, ““Ihey say she'll stop, do the: What makes ‘theni think she i1 stop?’ OB, be she 15 o pure gaited.

It was no mistake; other watches caught it the same.

I have seen many pacers step in and better, but never saw any horse, trot- or pacer, do a quarter in :30 or better with the consummate ease with which that little brown mare did the trick the other day. No man ever saw a trotter that could beat a 2:00 gait with such ease. She is the most per- fect line trotter that ever stepped on a race track; can speed to her limit without a boot on and never touch a halr, wears only six ounces In front and four behind, and an open bridle. How can you beat her? bred than any trotter-or pacer that has ever gone in 2:00; she is full of nervous energy, stamina and courage, and I want to know how are you going to beat her? She can step any part of this track from an eighth to a mile out faster than it was ever done by any of the many champion trotters that have worked on It. If T owned Sonoma Girl I would not go bushwhacking her up through Oregon, Washington and Idaho, but would take her East, where the kings and queens of the trot- ting world will be assembled, and measure her speed with their's and perchance win a crown for the daughter of Lynwood W and Maud Fowler.” —_———— MRS, SOMPS' ALLOWANCE.—The payment of $800 a month allowance to Pauline Eugenie Somps, widow of Pierre G.
