formulating plans designed to provide the host o racing enthusiasts in the California metropolis with tjie cleanest and classiest racing that the west has ever seen The peculiar conditions existing at present ore the American turf will permit the con ¬ summation of arrangements by which none but the most desirable stables bookmakers trainers and Jockeys will lie privileged to participate in the sport on the California Jockey Clubs tracks The Jockey Club management alive to the opportunities which the demoralized condition of the sport in other sec ¬ tions of the country presents to them proposes to take full advantage ot the situation quite as much in the interest of the perpetuation of racing n California us for the immediate benefit of San Fran ¬ cisco patrons of the sport AAhile

and aggravating exceptions to the general rule of honesty and honorable dealing It is to decrease the like ¬ lihood f scandal tending to bring the California turf into disrepute that Presiding Judge E C Hopper and Racing Secretary Martin Natlianson who will be in charge of the details of Hie racing with tho sanction of President Williams have quietly deter ¬ mined upon a thorough house cleaning in San Fran ¬ cisco turf circles this fall Horsemen fallHorsemen whose records are at all unsavory or whose horses have achieved a reputation for chronic inandout running will find no welcome at th Emeryville track and will be plainly told that their room is preferable to their company It is hinted that the list of owners who will not be welcome embraces several of the big fellows as well as numerous smaller try Particular attentionwlll like ¬ wise he bestowed upon the Jockeys and only those boys In whom Hie officials have confidence will be encouraged to ride at Emeryville After the meet Ing begins there will be no halfway measures la the meting out of such discipline as may he necessary AArith the close of the summer meeting at The Aleadows only a few days removed owners and othqr turf followers who have participated in the sport here are making their plans for the winter cam ¬ paign Those owners who contemplate making San Francisco the scene of their winter operations are sensible enough to realize that there will be scant opportunity for the cheaper sort of horses at Emery ¬ ville in view of the probable exodus to the coast of eastern horsemen with formidable strings Con ¬ sequently most of them are planning to dispose of their poorer performers in this locality to save ex j ejisa o sljlttmrntbak to California Some of them will be campaigned ovethe bush circuit at

100S will go on record as tlie most successful from every standpoint in tho annals of racing in the northwest The attendance has been far better than ever before the racing has been of the sort that would be designated ii good anywhere and has been at times positively bril ¬ liant Speculation has been keen the association has operated at a handsome profit and the horsemen as a rule are well satisfied with results the purse distribution of nearly 200000 having been fairly well shared in by all An indication of the healthy state of the horsemens finances is furnished by the fact that about 70000 of the total amount won by horses still remains in the hands of the association uncalled for as yet by winning owners Richard ownersRichard Dwyers starting during the entire meet ¬ ing has been uiarvelouslv good Oldtimers declaro that in all their experience they have never seen the equal of it and Dwycr has had to contend with disadvantages in the way of a narrow track and a brigade of very ordinary riders including numerous novices too This makes his showing the more re ¬ markable Dwycr is scheduled to open the season at Emeryville EmeryvilleIt It is learned on good authority that there Is no likelihood of a wholesale reinstatement on the last day of the numerous riders and owners who have been suspended during the meeting The officials have been subjected to considerable pressure in be ¬ half of several riders under suspension hi particular but they have maintained a firm attitude and it looks as though the timehonored custom of ex ¬ tending clemency at the close of the meeting which bad come to be looked on as a condition to bo generally expected will be shattered
