. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. THE BRKBDBB AND brjKTSMiN [Saturday, May 29, 19n Eleven Days' Racing Panama-Pacific International Exposition's On a track that the work of the past fortnight has proven to be one of the fastest pieces of new dirt ever laid, the first races of the long awaited race meeting at the Panama-Pacific International Ex- position will be staged next Saturday afternoon, three good fields being guaranteed for opening day. Two o'clock is the time set by the exposition officials for the beginning of each day's program, and promptly at that hour, one week from today, Starter Updegraff will call the horses for the first heat of the 2:30 trot, sandwiching in order the heats of the 2:07 pace and the 2:08 trot.

McCloskey, who has a not yet registered at a California port of call, but the balance are "there like a wolf at the ; Alba- loma, one of the most consistent trotters on the coast and the identical lad that put Maymack into her second position in the world's record table last year, will tangle up for the first time with the big Peter the Great
