LEXINGTON, KY, Nav 2.-This was
the sixth day of the Kentucky Associa-
tons spring meeting, at which there was
a good crowd, while the weather was fine.
The track was fast and the sport good.
The feature OF the day was the Phoenix
Hotel stakes, in which Halma lowered the
track record for mile and an eighth one
second, doing the distance in 1924, which
is about a quarter of second slower than
the fastest time for the distance on cycle
track, the record being held by King Lee,
who won the Merchants stakes at Latonia
June II, 1894, in 1921. Halma and The
Commoner were even money favorites.
Halma was away in third position, took
the lead at the quarter and held it all the
way through. The Commoner forced him
at the three-quarters and turned in the
stretch nose behind him. In the stretch
the pace was too hot for The Commoner,
and he quit like goat at the wire. Prince
Imperial in the second race lowered the
track record for fifteen-sixteenth of mile.
Carrie ID, in the last race, ran away three
miles with Jockey Houston pulling like a
demon on the reins.

Prices Still Breaking.

Crockery and chiuaware are no exception
to the rule. The Great American Import
ing Tea Company advertise dinner sets at
exceptionally low prices. This company
control their own designs in semi-porcelain
ware, and as further inducement to pur-
chasers they will sell half sets or single
pieces at proportional prices. In case any
piece of any set is lost or broken the firm
agrees to duplicate it at the original cost.
Customers can secure complete sets by pur-
chasing one or two pieces at time. A
perusal of their advertisement will show
the addresses of their stores, seventeen in
number, located in all portions of the City,
and in Oakland and Alameda.

WAS DETERMINED TO DIE.
An Unknown Suicide Picked Up Off
the Ocean Beach.

An Unknown Suicide Picked Up OFF
the Ocean Beach.
The body of an unknown man was found
on the ocean beach yesterday. The head,
arms and feet were gone and the remains
must have been in the water at least
month. The news of the "foater" having
come ashore was telegraphed from the
Cliff House and a Coroner's deputy at once
started for the ocean beach. 1t was at first
supposed that the suicide was that of Char
les S. Smith of McGlauflin & Co., but an
investigation showed that il could not pos
sibly be the missing bookkeeper. Smith
disappeared last Sunday and the corpse
now in the Morgue must have been in the
water at least month. Weights were
fastened to the body around the arms, and
suicide must have been premeditated.

When a horse opens in the betting at 8 to 5,
is backed down to z to 5, and at the last
moment recedes in the ring to 2 to 1, with the
bookies clambering for the money, it is a sure
indication of a hard winter. Had Thomas
Lundy, the owner of Thornhin, seen his horse
run yesterday he would have traded him for a
"yaller' dog and then invited the luckless
mongrel into sausage factory.
