pools contain several large steelheads.
From Glen Ellen the reports received are
very fiattering. The Sonoma Is in prime
condition and the fishing in the vicinity
OF Glen Ellen should be better than an

Track Notes.

The $4,000 Palace Hotel handicap, at one
mile and a furlong,. will be the feature Of
the card at Oakland this afternoon. A
large field will face the barrier, and the
race should prove quite as interesting an
affair as the Burns handicap.
DR.. Sheppard will start for the first
time in the colors of Burns & Waterhouse
to-day.

opening scramble, fell on the back stretch

Tommy Lottridge, who sought to make
a rider of Ruiz, thinks an injustice was
done the lad when the judges suspended
him on Thursday for his handling of
Benamela. According to eye witnesses
the horse was practically left at the post
and the rid ~ came in for cersure when
race Sir Urian was left at the post
Frank Taylcr says BeL Lsmela is a hard
luck" horse and attaches no blame to
Ruiz. The past reputation of the Spanish
boy was not the most glossy, but since
his reinstatement some days ago his rec
orc compares favorably with any of the
jockeys riding. In some instances officials
are prone to let ancient history take pre-
cedence over facts of the present.

THE HOUNDS ARE READY.
Dogs That Are in Superb Condition
for the Racing To-Day at Union
Park

Another gigantic open stake will be run
at Union Park to-day and tomorrow.
With ninety-six crackerjacks in the run

many-times stake-winners and the talent
are at sea in picking the ultimate winner.
Lowe & Thompson start a new Eastern
bitch, Jessamy by Lord Neversettle-
White Lips, but as she is drawn against
the great English dog. Interesting, she
looks to have difficult course to nego-
tiate.
Greyhounds new to the Union Park
sward are st. Ellen, Eleven Spot, Flash
ing Lass, Bonnie Scotland, Handsome
Fortune Olympus and Mamie Pleasant.
They are all said to be fast and clever
and needs must be to win out against
such company.
Many close courses will be decided this
afternoon and In any one of the following
races the short-end should have an ex-
celent chance to raise the flag:
Scout VS. Lightfoot: st. Ellen VS. Lady Gill
Lady Herschel; Soubrette Mira Monte;
Beau Peep vs. Rosebud; The Devil vs. Thad
Stevens; Conqueror vs.. Emin Pasha; Jennie
Wilson VS.. Flyaway; Morning Glory VS.. Vic

Natural Gas wells Run Dry.

Ten years ago the daily capacity of
the natural gas wells in the Findlay
(O.) fields was 200 ,0OO, 900 feet Now it
is down to few million feet, and the
pressure is SO low that the supply is
almost useless. This year will mark
the passing of natural gas as fuel in
all of northwestern Ohio. The big pipe
lines which carried gas to Toledo, Tiff.
fin, Sandusky, Norwalk and many
smaller places are fast being abandoned
and the pipes taken up. The pump sta
tons of the Northwestern Natural Gas
company are shut down, as are those of
the city of Toledo, which cost the mu-
nicipality s1,5oO,OOO. The gas would
have lasted many years longer if in the
early years of it's discovery it had not
been wasted. The famous Krag well,
probably the greatest gas producer ever
opened up, was allowed to burn uncon-
fined for months at time, millions of
feet going to waste daily. All through
the natural gas belt, in the early days Of
the craze, the streets were lit by great
torches, the flames from which some
times fared up 30 feet into the air.
