Show FAMOUS BURNS HANDICAP TO BE SEEN FOR LAST TIME San Francisco, Jan. 30. An enormous enor-mous crowd is expected at Emeryville today to witness what will probably be the last running of the famous Burns handicap. The anti-betting law has already passed the assembly, and, as it is conceded that it will pass tho senate, the followers of the track figure fig-ure that the classic of tho California turf will bo seen for the last time. There will in all probability bo thirteen thir-teen starters for the 10,000 money, and a better or more evenly balanced field was never sent to the post for the : rich stake. Not one of the horses I named to go is denied at least an outside out-side chance of winning. J. A. Forsyth's Dorante was thrown in with the little impost of 114 pounds by Handicapper Nathanson, and with this pull in weight he is looked upon as a likely winner. S. C. Hildreth's king James was assigned top weight, and has been specially prepared for the event at Santa Anita. The follow-ers follow-ers of the turf from the south are confident con-fident that he will land the race. Thomas Thom-as H. Williams, president of the New California Jockey club, will send Big Chief and Firestone to the post and each has an undeniable chance to win. The other probable starters are: R. L. Thomas' Llghtwool, C. R. Ellison's Elli-son's Don Enrique, Barney Schreiber's Animus, C. Lowman's Colonial Jack, Keene Bros.' Clamor, S. Emory's Arasec, H. G- Bedwell's Naduz, D. C. Johnson's Milford and Reld & Relff Maltbie. |
