State Fair opens today. Two harness and three running events will be given each day. â The greatest live stock show ever held in Califor- nia will be seen. * The Alameda County Fair opens at Pleasanton on Wednesday, September 13th, and will continue five days. . The season's pacing record on a half mile track is 2:04%, made by Billy M. at LaHarpe, HI. «> Write to Secretary' Daken, Pleasanton, for a prem- iium list of the Alameda county fair. The fair opens t September 13th and continues five days. ; The three fastest miles made by stallions in actual iL races are the 2:02 of The Harvester, 2:02 by Peter * Volo and 2: 03 %' by San Francisco. ' The fastest three consecutive heats by a trotting mare on a half mile track went to the credit of Wilkes Brewer when she won at Goshen in 2:10, 2:10% and 2:09%. Hal B. Jr. scored his seventh consecutive victory by winning the free-for-all pace at the Flemington, I N. J., fair on Thursday of last week, and he won that " race in straight heats. He is owned in Canada. A new high-wheel sulky record was made at Goshen, N. Y., August 17th, by Al Mack, who trotted the mile in 2: 14. The previous record over a two-lap .course was 2:15, made over the same track last year by Harry J. S. <§â Lotto Watts, by Gen. Watts 2:06%, established her right to be numbered among the season's good three- year-old trotters when she won the class for her age at Goshen half mile track in 2:14% and 2:14%. â¢Â» Graham Bellini won a heat in 2:16% and got sec- ond money in the 2:19' trot at Burlington, Iowa, half mile ring August 17th, and Rapallo got fourth money in the same race. â $> «⢠Colleen by Charley D. 2:06% out of Cricket 2:10 by Steinway won a race in straight beats over the i Burlington. Iowa, half mile track week before last, the heats in 2:09%, 2:09% and 2:11. Rapallo, son of Greco B. and Oniska, dam of San Francisco 2:07%, won the 2:18 trot at Burlington, Iowa. August 18th. It was a four heat race and Ra- pallo's best heat was in 2:17%. Half mile track. Helen Chimes, a chestnut mare by Magnet that has been racing over the half mile tracks in the Middle West this summer, won her eleventh straight race at Burlington, Iowa, August 18th. <£⢠Hugh and Perry Smith, of Yamhill, Ore., recently sold twenty-two head of yearling Cotswold rams to Frank Brown, of Carlton, Ore. The price paid was $19 per head for the bunch. That good trotter Al Mack, by McLintoek, set a new world's record for a three-heat race over a half mile track when he won the 2:12 trot at Goshen last week in 2:08%, 2:09% and 2:10%. «> The State Fair track is said to be faster this year than it has ever been before and if it remains in con- dition during next week the horses should show faster than they did at Santa Rosa. Peter Scott was driven a mile at North Randall last week against his record of 2:05%. He was driven by Murphy and lowered his record one- quarter of a second. The time by quarters was :31, 1:02, 1:34, 2:05. <& «> It was White Sox 2:05% that made Roan Hal pace in 2:02% to beat her at Columbus, Ohio. They went to the half in 1:01 and paced the last quarter in 30% seconds, Durfee having White Sox's nose right at Roan Hal's shoulder as they came under the wire. Louise de Lopez by Kinney de Lopez, owned by the Hemet Stock Farm, won the Bingen Silk stake for two-year-old trotters, worth $250 to the winner, at Omaha last week, and broke the Nebraska record for a two-year-old trotter on a half mile track by a heat in 2:23%. Geers won the $5000 stake for 2:08 class trotters at Poughkeepsie last Thursday with St. Frisco, the three heats in 2:05%, 2:07 and 2:05. Mabel Trask did not start in this race. Ima Jay was second and . Director Todd third. Virginia Barnette was outside the money. Ed Geers has a record that will hold for a while. He bred and drove to his record Napoleon Direct 1:59%, his sire Walter Direct 2:05%, and his grand- sire Direct Hal 2:04%. «⢠The Real Lady, with a record of 2:08% made at Poughkeepsie last Tuesday, is the fastest three-year- old trotter of the year. «> Peter Stevens 2:02% paced his mile in, 2:00 flat when he was second to Napoleon Direct in 1:59%. He is by Peter the Great and is expected to be that sire's first two-minute performer. Moko is making a wonderful showing this year with the two-year-old trotters. Not only is he the sire of The Real Lady 2:09%, but he is the grand- sire of Mary Coburn (2) 2:10% and the sire of the dam of Emma Magowan (2) 2:11%, while Harvest Gale gets a dash of his blood through The Harvester, whose dam was a daughter of Moko. «â Deputy Sheriff 2:16% and the California bred mare Colleen by Charley D. 2:06% out of Cricket 2:10 by Steinway equaled a world's record at Des Moines, Iowa, last Monday, when they won a double team pacing race for a five hundred dollar purse. 'Their fastest heat was 2:07%>: which equals the rec- ord for a team in a race on a half mile track, made bv Doctor M. and Billy M. in 1914 at Springfield, 111. Just phone to David West, Park 1253, if you haven't time to write for a set of hopples, a pair of boots, a pair of toe weights, or anything else used in racing your horses. If you have time to call at his sales- room. 1018 Fillmore street near Golden Gate avenue, San Francisco, you will find there one of the most complete stocks of horse goods, as well as trunks, valises, and all leather goods at prices that are right. Fred Ward will continue racing on the Kansas- Nebraska circuits and will probably not go to the northwest at all. He has sent Mart Lowe to Idaho with Allie Lou, Oro Lou and Dr. Wayo and Lowe will race them through Idaho, Montana, Washington and Oregon. All three horses were in good shape when they left Nebraska and should get their share of the money up north. On the last day of the Solano county fair at Dixon, Harry McFadyen, president of the fair association, lost his large barn and some smaller buildings on his ranch, about two and one-half miles from town. The fire was a large one and many men hurried in automobiles to the scene, but on account of the lack of water were unable to save the buildings. The loss is probably $2000. The growing prominence of the family of Axworthy 2:15% was in evidence at Goshen, where five of the eleven starters in the race for two-year-old trotters were by him or his sons, Guy Axworthy, Morgan Ax- worthy, Dillon Axworthy and General Watts. De- scendants of Bingen 2:06% were equally prominent in this race, and four of them, including the winner, were by J. Malcolm Forbes 2:08, son of Bingen and Santos, the dam of Peter the Great 2:07%. «> "Shoeing and Balancing the Light Harness Horse" is the title of a little book by James Clark that has recently been issued by the Horse World Company of Buffalo, New York. It is a small book, pocket size, but contains a vast amount of information by a very practical mechanic. Joe Markey says he spent an evening reading this book and learned from it more than he ever did from similar works that con- tained ten times its type matter. The book is priced at $1. «> Just to show the young folks of today what an old time race 'looked like and to bring back the scenes of former days more vividly to the old guard, the Goshen, New York, meeting put on a mile dash for trotters to high wheel sulkies. There were three starters, and Al Mack won in 2:14, which is the world's record for a trotter to high wheels on a half mile track. The same stallion won a heat in 2:08% hitched to a bike during the week, which is the fast- est heat ever trotted by a stallion in a race on a two- lap ring. The two-year-old colt Will Bing by Binjolla set up a new world's record at Springfield, Ohio, on Thurs- day, August 17th, by trotting a heat in a race over that half mile track in 2:12% and the day previous Emma Magowan by J. Malcolm Forbes trotted the Goshen. New York, half mile track a heat in 2:13% in a race. The former record for a two-year-old stal- lion was held by Suldine that trotted in 2:13% on a half mile track in 1915, and the former record for a two-year-old filly on a two-lap ring was held by Nowaday Girl that took a record of 2:16% in 1912. «⢠' Basing their predictions on the way in which sum- mer trade has been keeping up this year, dealers in New York are expressing the opinion that more work horses will be sold in New York next fall than in any other autumn season in ten years. Old timers like Henry Benson and David Dahlman, of the Fiss, Doerr & Carroll Horse Company, say the semi-weekly auctions on Mondays and Thursdays are as full of business in August as they have been in some years in June, with every prospect of a big increase next month.â (New York Herald. Hal Boy won a good race at Poughkeepsie last Tuesday. Three straight heats in 2:05%, 2:03 and 2:03. Directum I has made two attempts to beat 2:02 to wagon within the last two weeks and failed both times. Walter G. Baker, who ships Kentucky saddle horses to the New York market, sold a pony for $2,500 to Louis Leo Haggin during the recent Blue- grass Fair at Lexington. «â¢. Three different times, according to the Horse Re- view, has Tommy Murphy been around a mile ring in two minutes this year. He drove Directum I in 1:59% at Pittsburg, Peter Stevens in 2:00 when that horse was second to Napoleon Direct at Columbus, and Russell Boy in 2:00 in his race at Detroit. In the Detroit race Single G. won the heat in 2:00%, but RusselLBoy was timed in 2:00 from wire to wire, but was beaten at that. On Thursday morning, August 24th, at the North Randall track Curt Gosnell, driver of the pacer Single G.. while jogging the pacer Hazel Armstrong, was thrown out when the mare stumbled and fell, and was picked up unconscious and taken to a hospital, where it was found that his left arm, collar and chest bones were .broken, and there were two scalp wounds. Little hope is entertained for his recovery as Mr. Gosnell had not been in robust health for some time. Suldine (1) 2:24%, the greatest yearling trotter of his year, (2) 2:12, with the world's record over a half mile track of 2:13% for two-year-old trotters, trotted a mile recently to wagon with his owner driving in 2:10%. This, if an official record, would probably be the world's record for a three-year-old to wagon. He is a son of the six-year-old stallion Worthy McKinney, and his dam is the great brood- mare Carrietta 2:18. dam of this season's new 2:10 -.â¢otter Silent Brigade 2:09%. yearling record 2:26%, two-year-old record 2:10%, and other fast trotters. Suldine was sold by Mr. C. A. Harrison of Seattle at the Indianapolis inter for $2000. MATINEE AT OAKLAND. The Oakland Stadium and Driving Club held another matinee Sunday, August 27th, but unfortu- nately two races on the card had to be called off on account of scratches. Senator H. and Charley D. not showing up in the free-for-all pace. Little Dick and Allegro started, Little Dick winning in straight heats. What horses were left in the 2:30 and 2:15 pace started in one race and Mr. Reisman's good little mare Berkeley Girl won in straight heats. In the 2:25 mixed Lena Lee looked like the class after winning the first heat, but got on her old-time bad behavior and lost the next two to Gen. Villa. In the fifth race Mr. H. F. Silva's colt driven by Al Hanks had little difficulty in winning after a kicking spell in w-hich both horse and driver went down in a pile. The colt trotted a good race for his first start. In the sixth race Mr. G. W. Sawyer and Dolly Grey, a new beginner and a new horse, had no trou- ble in winning in straight heats, although Teddy made Mr. Sawyer's mount a little uneasy in the last heat. This finished the races, but we had another attrac- tion to amuse the crowd when Mr. Robert Seals, the owner of Burbank, drove on the track with Dr. Henderson's beautiful team of Arabian stallions which he was getting in shape to show at the State Fair. Sunday after next the club will hold another mat- inee and invites all horsemen to participate. Send your entries 10 A. S. Hanks, 392 Eighth street, Oak- land. The judges last Sunday were M. C.
