SHOWING FAITH IN CALIFORNIA RACING. As a practical indication that some California la hopefuls believe that the coming meeting at Exposition i, Park. San liraneise. .. mrsns a genuine revival U of California racing and not a single meeting as one te of the many features id the Panama Fair, a svndi-cate of owners has purchased the entire crop of ,f yearlings belonging to the estate Of the late W. f OB. Macdonougb. Concerning this important transaction c- the San Francisco Chronicle of last Sunday 1V said: Sixteen thoroughbred yearlings, the last to be e bred and raised on the late YV. OB. MacdoaoughS "s lain His Omiondale Stock Farm at San Mateo, are re to remain in California to participate in the turf rf revival that is now under way. Preparations had id been made to ship the youngsters to New York, k. following the rest of the Macdonougb thoroughbreds Is that departed a year or so age. John II. Rosseter and some members of the ie Golden Gate Thoroughbred Breeders Association m were lot h to see these California horses leave the ic state perhaps never to return, so they banded together o- and purchased the whole consignment. A. L Joseph, Charles T. Boots, Charles W. Clark. Francis is Carolan and J. B. Coleman arc interested with th Rosseter in seeming the promising young horses. Just how they will lie divided is a problem in that the horsemen will have to settle among them 11 selves. Quite naturally, some of the yearling- hare struck the fancy of the bu.crs and in two or three cases several of them want the same Bolt or illy. V- This will likely be settled by drawing lots or else ■* putting the horses Dp at auction. The vearlinss all trace to Ormonde, the stallion "J for which W. OB. Bacdonongh paid 50,000 and 11 brought to California. Duke of Ormonde sired eleven of the sixteen, three are by Oasary anil two " bv Orsini. The dams are well-known mares of hich- , lass breeding.
