Two hundred and thirty-seven nominations have been made for this year's event, which will be run in October. This coast will have few representatives, but they will be of high class. J. H. Rosseter has nominated four by McVey-Fiery Face. They are called The Rowdy, The Rascal, Rear Admiral and Royale Amante. Vie Noble has nominated a black and white dog by Sacramento Boy-May- flower. D. K. Cartter has nominated four by Free-Elf Surprise. They are expected of them. Mr. Cartter has en- { tered a January puppy by Patched Up- Lady Lismore. J. E. Freeman of Rocklin has entered two of the Cronin’s Wild Tralee-Golden Russet litter. These were whelped in January and are of great promise. Blake, Tonkin and Smith have thir- teen nominations by Rocker-Cloud- burs Roman Athlete-Story’s Sister and Northern Express-Lady Newark. M. C. Delano of Rocklin has sold three promising pupples by Cronin’s Wild Tralee-Golden Russet to Frank £sshorn of Denver. Two of them, For- tunate Effort and Favorite Effort, are in the Futurity. Frank Jones has lost by death the great greyhound Little Sister. She was by Emin Pasha-Pride of the Valley. She was pronounced the greatest daughter of Emin Pasha and won many stakes when she was in the kennels of the late Frank McComb. Eugene Geary has some likely pup- ples by Palo Alto, the idol of the coursing men some yvears since. Three are out pf Una and two out of Tamora. The latfer is well bred, being by Fet ter Free-High Born Lady. Una is by Snapshot, a brother to Rocker and out of Bart's Belle. George Sharman has four puppl the Palo Alto-Tamora litter.

S R Can Bir Wilfred, the grand looking bay colt owned by Charles E. Durnell, beat Barney Schreiber’'s sturdy thoree- year-old, Dr. Gardner? On Jooks prob- ably yes. Further the question is open debate and great curiosity is mani- fested to see the two meet in & race. Bir Wilfred, a magnificent dark bay, is furnished for a world-beater, and in re- ferring. to him Charley Durnell said: “I think he is another McChesney,” As an early two-year-ofd in 1905 Sir Wil- fred met but one reverse, then when beaten ‘a head by Daruma., the crack filly owned by A. B. Spreckels, in the first kindergarten event of the season. When I&d into the salés ring after the death of his former owner, D. Cameron, { horsemen sald the now noted colt was either worth $25,000 or $25. This be- cause of the fact that the firlng iron had left its trace on one leg. He was knocked down to the $6000 bid of C. E. Durnell, who wag prepared, it is said, to pay 310,000 should the occasion de- mand it. Sir Wilfred has been a win- ner this season, both at Ascot Park and Oakland, although no horse worthy of especial note has finished behind him. Btill, his victories were gained in such a decisive manner that they left & taste in the mouth that he could ac- complish better things. Critics say Sir ‘Wilfred will never be anything but a sprinter. His rival for stejlar honors, Dr. Gardner, can both sprint and go a route. If the pair meet at Oakland differences of opinfon will furnish an old-fashioned betting bee. A writer in the New York Morning Telegraph has the following gossipy story of Sir Wilfred's antecedents: ““Boots” Duyrnell has his $17,000 flly Lotus In California this winter, and she will present- 1y be in ifirst-class form, he thinks. She ran & fairly good at Ascot Park the other day, when she was not quite ready, Lo- tus'Is not the 3-year-old with which Durnell xpects to. win the greatest number of 3-year- old races on the coast. The horse he is bank- ing on is a colt, and ome With whose form erners are unfamiliar. Bir Wilfred is the colt in question, and he i California bred. He never raced on this | side of the Rockies.

Premler, 4 POWER YACHT S BENC BULT F. C. Havens of This 'City Orders Modern Cruising Craft of Fine Design NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—During the win- ter there will be built from designs and | specifications by Henry J. Gielow of this city an 84-foot cruising yacht for F. C. Havens of San Francisco, The plans show a thoroughly modern gasoline power yacht intended for long distance cruising. It is being put together at the yard of the Gas Engine and Power Company, and Seabury & Company, at Morris Heights. Mr, Havens makes his headquarters at Sag Harbor, Long Island, during the sum- mer months, and for the last two or three years he has used the launch “La Mas- cotte,” which afforded him so much sat- 1sfaction that he had the same designer turn out the new and the larger boat now in hand. The dimensions are 84 feet oveér all, 75 feet 9 inches on water line, 18 feet beam and 3 feet 5 inches draught. The hull was designed to insure an able and a stanch boat, with stability and seaworthiness, in combination with conveniently and comfortably arranged accommodations. The contract calls for delivery about May 15. o L not a son of Ormonde, but :{ allied to Ormonale on his sire’ re was Ossary, g son of Ormonde, out of Countess Langdon, an import also at Menlo Park. Ossary was, Mr. Macdon- ough thought, intended for a good racehorse.

Like mest of tho American fons of Ormonds, Ossary has always been a handsume horse. Since he has been In the stud he has sent several fair horses r the races.
