light attendance. Many horses did not
reach here from Los Angeles until to-day.
owing to the two special days racing in
Los Angeles. Monday and Tuesday. The
racing to-day was very good. and the at

creased during the week. For Saturday
q special race between Klamath and STAN
for purse of 5000 has been arranged
This will be the best card OF the meeting.
Two running races to-day were closely
contested. In the pace. Bastina, local
mare, disappointed the crowd by being
listanced in the first heat, owing to a bad
break on the baekstretch. She was IN
tine condition, and was confidently ex-
pected to win. Bill Nye, another Santa
Ana colt, took second money.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Oct.
21.-The co-eds don't intend to allow in
terest in their branch of athletics TO SUBJ
side, and as proof of the fact have called
for meeting Of all of last years basket
ball players. as well as new players who
are sufficiently interested to come out.
Miss McCrea, the captain of last years
team, which defeated Berkeley, believes
that the team can be made even stronger
this year, and she expects to see it become
even more popular among the women
than 1t has been in the past. Most OF last
years enthusiasts are back and are eager
TO get at practice in q game which those
who play say is "iust too fascinating"
AS soon as team can be organized and
given some preliminary practice, games
will be arranged with some of the neigh
boring girls schools and academies.
The co-eds have also revived the tennis
craze, and on Saturday will hold tourn-
ament to decide just which of their num-
Der are entitled to enter in a champion
ship tournament TO be held still later.
Among the new girl students to enter this
year are said to be several excellent play
ers, and the prospects are promising for
an exciting tournament.

VISITS The OTAy DAM.
A. B. Spreckels Says Construc-
tion Work Is Progressing
Satisfactorily.
When Completed Its Capacity Will
Treble That of Sweetwater
Reservoir.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Oct. 21.-A. B.
Spreckels, who, with his brother, John d.
Spreckeis, is interested in the Southern
California Water Company, which is
building the largest water system in the
State. comprising three dams each three
times as large as the famous Sweetwater
dam, is at Hotel del Coronado He re-
turned yesterday from visit to Otay dam,
in company with e. S. Babcock, president
of the company. Mr.. Spreckels expressed
much pleasure at the progress being made
on the great enterprise. The Morena
dam, now being built by the company,
will supply the city with water. This is
fifty miles inland and Mr.. Spreckels did
not have time to visit it.
1.-THE Otay dam is very great under
taking" said Mr.. Spreckels, "and [ am
much pleased with the way it is being
carried out. Everything thus far has been
done in the most workmanlike manner. l
have no doubt as to the ultimate success
of the enterprise. We went out through
Chula Vista and saw the lemon groves,
and came back by another route and / saw
more rich land than expected to find.
The land under the Otay system is just as
needs is water to make it immensely
valua ble."
'What is the height of the dam at
PRESENT."
'.It will be 106 feet in height in January.
After seeing it and consulting with Mr..
Babcock, we have decided to raise it 10
$50 feet, which will give it capacity three
times greater than Sweetwater reservoir.
Water is what this country needs and we
are going to get it."
Mr.. Spreckels is president of the San
Diego Electric Railway Company. He
was asked if he intended to extend his
lines.
well, we have several extensions in
contemplation, and I shall go over the
line with General Manager Flint to-mor-
row and we viii. decide what to do. The
road is in first-class condition. The SER
vice is, / believe, appreciated by the pub
lie. The returns are satisfactory to u.s."
"Then, taken all around, you are pleased
with the state OF your investments in this
section?'
"Yes. Everything is as good as could
be expected. OF course thereis feeling
of uncertainty here as everywhere else
just before election. If Mckinley is
elected all will be WELL In all parts of
the country there has been disquieting
situation on account of the fear that
Bryan might by some chance get in. But
l notice that the stock and bond market
is easier and more cheerful and that
money is easing up little.
This. believe, is because the people of
the country are over their scare and are
