All of the political parties will meet
this week and outline their plans for the
city campaign. 1t is agreed on all sides
that short active campaign is better
for all concerned because il is realized
that great deal OF personal work must

efforts of the candidates.

Just an ordinary rank outsider in the

of excitement at Ingleside yesterday. Joe,

Wyoming, LOOKING all over a winner, re-
sponded to one bell and didn't get two
more in time to. beat Cavallo for the
place, Quite a number of tickets were
cashed over the victory of the long shot.
This was about the only striking feature
of the days doings. Incidentally, three
favorites were rocked to sleep-a common
occurrence. 1t is probable the talent and
books broke about even.
There was nothing to the two-year-old
dash but Ed Corrigan's entry, Sardine.

Doyle charged down upon them. Her
particular points of attack were two
workmen who were preparing to erect
a post on the same corner on which her
house is situated. Mrs. Doyle declared
that 1t would be an outrage TO erect a
post so that g. man could sit on the top
OF 1t and only be few feet from her
window. The workmen endeavored in
vain to assure the lady that the railroad
company had no intention of stationing a
man at the top of the post, which was
merely for the purpose of supporting a
semaphore and few wires.
This did not satisfy Mrs. Doyle. She
took possession of the hole in the street
