Murray of Cleveland, Ohio, a prominent member of the celebrated Gentlemen!s Driving Club of that city. Mr. Murray, has been in California several weeks, making quite a stay in Los Angeles, where he saw Mr. Desmond's mare Italia. 2:23} by Zombro 2:11 and purchased her for S3500. He was very much taken with Zombro and believes him one of the most perfect horses he ever saw. He stopped over at San Jose on the way up, saw the great MeKinney 2:11 J and Iran Alto 2:12}, and spoke very highly of both. Then Mr, Murray visited Palo Alto and with his party was the guest of Superintendent F. W. Covey for a day, and while seated under the beautiful oaks Mr. Covey had all the notable horses of the farm led out for inspec- tion. Mr. Murray is one of the most enthusiastic of amateur horsemen, and stated that no more royal entertainment was ever afforded him. On Wednesday, in company with Mr. O. A. Hickok, he visited Pleas- anson and was shown all the stallions and horses at that celebrated training and breeding ground. It was his intention to visit Oakwood Park this week, if pos- sible, although business engagements are calling him home. Mr. Murray is a splendid specimen of physical manhood and a gentleman of refinement and culture whom it is a pleasure to meet. He told us much of the Cleveland club and its members, and if there are any more like Mr. Murray among its members it is no wonder that it is the leading club of the kind in the world. .He is one that looks upon matinee racing as the greatest of American sports, and believes its strongest and most attractive feature is that the contests are for pure glory and not for money or anything that represents it. In common with his fellow clubmen he looks forward with keen interest and the greatest confidence to the third contest for the Amateur Drivers Cha
