I , RACE STEEDS FIT Portland Hunt Club Completes Plans for Meet. . 25 TRY OUT ON COURSE Cars to Leave Every Three Minutes. to Handle Throngs Next Sat- nrday's Track Contest to Be Stellar Meet. Portland Hunt Club members have completed arrangements for their annual race meet, which ts to be held Saturday afternoon at the Country Club racetrack. This will be the tenth annual Spring meet, and the club expects it to be the greatest ever held under its auspices. In fact, there will be twice as many thor oughbreds in the races this year as ever before. For the last two months mem bers have been carefully grooming their horses and at present the steeds are in the pink of"fcondltion. About 25 of the club members were at the racetrack Sun day trying out their animals and they are all satisfied that each horse will be fit by Saturday of this week- The streetcar company is fully prepared to take care of the large crowd expected, and cars will . leai e Third and Yamhill every three minutes, direct to the race track. A larger attendance is expected this year than ever before, and to make the races popular, the club has reduced the admission price and expects to charge 50 cents, including grandstand. The money raised will be used to construct a fine racetrack on the club's grounds at Garden Home. Great Rivalry Shown. There is a great deal of rivalry among entrants as to which has the best horse, and, strange to say, this rivalry exists more among the members wlio expect to take part in the heavyweight race. Dr. W. A. Cumming, the owner of a fine, big thoroughbred, the only horse in this event that has never been tried out on a race track, gave the animal a try-out last Sunday at the racetrack. The steed made a quarter in :2T, considered phe nomenal for a green horse. D. A. Patullo will ride Kentucky Babe. This filly has a fine record for a quarter of a mile, and Mr. Patullo expects, at least, to keep in the shadow of Dr. Cumming, H. C. Campbell is programmed to ride the great race mare. Rose of Hilo, a big thorough bred bought by Mr. Campbell, a few years ago. It has a great burst of speed, as well as being able to carry weight. There is not a horse in the Hunt Club with a better record on the racetrack than Rose of Hilo. Dr. Emmett Drake, the owner of Tom Fox. expects to ride in the heavyweight race. Tom Fox is a 2-year-old that sold for and has A great record In the Eastern circuit. He is a thoroughbred standing 17 hands high. W. M. Davis will ride J. H. Bennett. While J. H. Bennett is not a quarter-of-a-mile horse, Mr. Davis expects to be as good as fifth, as there are only five, horses in the race. All the riders will be com pelled to weigh at least 2t0 pounds to enter this event. First Chariot Race. The chariot race will be a new feature of the Hunt Club races. There has not been a chariot race in this city outside of the circus ring. and. with four thor oughbreds hitched to each chariot, to be anven around a rmle track, rare sport is expected, especially as great rivalry ex ists between the drivers. The two-mile steeplechase will be the most exciting of all the races of the meet. The in-field of the race track has been arranged with about 18 jumps, all of which can be plainly seen from the grandstand, and the -finish will be on the main track. The five-eighths-mile dash is well filled. and will be an exciting race. 1 he one-mile trot for women Is reallv creating more excitement than any other event on the card. The women who will take part in this race are the best rideia among the fair members of the Hunt Club and they have trained their horses with more care and perseverance than any other members of the club. The quarter-of-a-mile dash for the junior members of the club will bring out the largest field of any of the races. tne relay race will also be excitlnir in the extreme, as it will be necessary in mis event for the members to show their skill in mounting and dismounting. Another feature added to the Spring meet this year will be a polo race. This has been arranged exclusively for the benefit of the Army officers of Vancouver, who will ride their polo ponies. This will be an entirely different race from any ever seen in Portland, as it will be necessary to ride the mounts around ob stacles placed in the track for the pur pose of showing the quickness with which the horses can be turned and still nn lose speed. This will require more skill and dexterity by the riders than any other race. SPLENDOR AWES THRONG (Continued. From First Page.)
