, ■ I t 1 c c -, / 1 , , J , HURDLE RACES AT RENO, NEV. I Silver State Jockey Club to Offer i Jumping Races During Twenty-Five Day Meeting. t RENO, Nev., May 22. — Steeplechasing has proved so popular on the Pacific Coast that general manager William P. Kyne intends to offer hurdle racing at the meeting opening here July 1 for twenty-eight or more days. Kyne, who i3 now in Kansas City, j directs preparations for the meeting by long £ distance telephone. I The success of steeplechasing at Del i Monte and hurdle racing at Tanforan as- 1 sures that it will be popular in Reno. There I will be no shortage of good jumpers as i many of the best in training have been as- * signed stalls by the Silver State Jockey Club. j The addition of Reno to the list of coast tracks offering hurdle racing will do much T to strengthen the sport in California, accord- ing to S. H. Dennis, Irish steeplechase rider, , who will campaign his band here. Dennis became one of Californias leading gentle- , man riders at Del Monte and has a powerful , band of horses. It is expected that many of the socially prominent who are interested in the sport J in California will take an active interest in the Reno hurdle affairs. Among the many good jumpers in California this last spring J were Lizard, New York stake winner; Adol-phus, racing for Miss Grace Hamilton of Burlingame, Calif.; Shasta Nut, Cycol, Pal : Jose, The World, Ruddy Glow, and others j of like caliber. ! As soon as Kyne returns from Kansas , City he will confer with Dennis on the laying out of the course. It is Kynes inten- tion to leave nothing undone that will add to the quality of the sport offered by the Silver State Jockey Club.
