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.
