1 AGUA CALIENTE TURF NOTES S C. J. Gamble will send the horse Boilermaker to Agua Caliente from Santa Anita to participate in the feature races offered at the Mexico course.

Bradley, the venerable Kentucky owner and breeder. Included among the owners who shipped to Caliente during the past week were Lee Hankins, with Bens Hope and Nojoqui; L. B. Jeffers, with The Trainer, Fella and My Mint, and M. McPherson, with Alice Byrd. Trainer George Ellis, representing Mrs. G. Grantham, sold the horse Cledis to Mullin and Hannah. The horse will be trained by C. T. Mullin. A. B. Hudkins has appointed R. Hall as trainer for the horse Black Hair, which arrived recently at the border course. The present condition of the Agua Caliente racing strip is a fitting tribute to track! superintendent Frank, Rinehart. The horse-Imen are loud in their praise, as not one horse which has engaged in races this season has pulled up lame.
