Sunol is queen of the turf and
Palo Alto is King. Marvin drove
the latter at Stockton on November
18th, breaking the worlds stallion
record, and winning for the Palo
Alto stables all the records of the
world. He made the mile without
slip in 2:0Sa, but broke after he
passed the finish. Stanford may

District Attorney Barnes has re-
uuested Governor Markham to de-
mand from the Canadian authorities

question.

the officers are loud in their pr aises OF
the big cruiser and commend the
construction and equipment in the
highest terms.
