NOTED JOCKEYS
IN THE SADDLE
Riding Talent at Oakland
Will Be Able to Do Full
Justice to Stake Horses

The fates are again unkind to the New
California Jockey Club in the matter of
weather and the eleventh renewal of the
Burns Handicap at Emeryville will be
decided over a race course deep with
mud The officials have shifted the
date several times for this, the richest
event Of the winter season of racing,
but to no avail, inclement weather
being the invariable accompaniment of
this classic of the California turf.
The track conditions naturally in
crease the chances of such stout-heart-
ed horses as Claude and Elliott which
will sport the DAILY colors, while they
reduce the chances of Dainty, Hora-
thus, Ananias and other horses which
are at their best on a fast track.
The DAILY pair will be the public
choice and if experience counts for
anything Claude, the great bay son
of Lissak, should be returned the win
ner. Away back in 1894, when the race
was run for the first time at the Bay
District track under the title of the
Spreckels Handicap, Lissak, then two
year-old, and carrying 106 pounds, won.
In 1903 Claude with an impost of So
pounds finished third. In 1904 he had
gained in favor with the Handicapped
and was allotted 122 pounds. This time
he finished in second place. He will
carry 137 pounds to-day and at his rate
of progression should land in first
place The heaviest weighted winner
of the Burns was Satsuma in 1898, when
he carried 122 pounds. The lightest
weighted winner was Imperious, which
carried Sc pounds.
One of the promising candidates for
the race will be Jimmy McLaughlin,s
Pasadena, which will have the serv-
ices of Fuller as pilot. Walter Jen-
nings will depend much on Rockaway,
which has done well in his preparatory
work
The winner this year must score on
pure ability to run, as under the new
rule the minimum weight is 105 pounds.
This gives good horse a chance as it
precludes the possibility of selling
platter with feather" up. carrying off
the long end of the purse. The work of
Handicapped Egbert has given general
satisfaction and there will be some
mighty figuring on weights, Jockeys
mud and other conditions in an effort
to land on the ultimate winner.
There are enough good jockeys on
hand to go around so that both the
owners and the bettors should get a
ride which will satisfy them

Nature Helps Inventors.

Walking on the outskirts of city one
autumn evening young man became in.
terested in watching the seeds falling
from sycamore tree. He observed that
they acquired rotary motion before
reaching the ground, and, inquiring
into the cause, he found that the two
wings were slightly turned in opposite
directions, which caused them to re-
volve in falling. The idea Of making
screw propeller on this principle at
once occurred to him. Galvani, a nat
ural philosopher Of Italy, was dissect-
ing dead frog one day while a pupil
was making experiments in electricity
by his side. He observed that the
muscles OF the frog, being exposed, gave
signs Of motion whenever the nerves
came in contact with the scalpel Gal
vani discovered the existence of q new
principle In this phenomenon and
originated the fertile branch of physics
known by the name OF galvanism.--N

When for ne comes the shadow 1t
Night.
Forget not; in desolate hours

When for me Lies last music is dying,
And the dreams Of eternity throng,
Forget not; I saw in the signing
The soul OF song.
Forget not. that day when Gods will 10
TO silence the singing that mars,
Inc htanies sweet of your lilies
I read to your stars.
When that dim day men dread round me
closes,
Forget not how Love was my art,
And, giving to Grief all theroses,
Hid the thorns In his heart.
How meath heaven, unveiled in the far
light,
heard, as knelt on your sod,
With the daisy that dreamed in the star
light,
The Footsteps OF God.
How read, on the plains Of Endeavor,
That Love still OF Life is the Lord;
That He is-not Rewarder forever.
But Himself Reward!
o beautiful world! Read my story
When LIES wavering curtain shall fall,
Not on the great heights Of glory,
But In 1ove-that crowns all!

THE sPREoKELsEs REooNo1LED.
Claus and His Son Rudolph Com 9
Together at Last.

] The Newsletter says: Here is the
most interesting piece of news record
ed in many day There has been a
reconciliation between Claus SpreckeIs
and his son Rudolph, with whom he was
at war and involved in litigation for
so many years. Claus Spreckels has
been watching the career of his ban
ished son, and has seen him develop into
a conservative. dependable man of af-
fairs, and devoted to his family. 1t
has always been a matter of great IN
happiness to Rudolph that he should
have been in conflict with his honor
able, if severe father, and So when
he received a MESA e from him a few
weeks ago asking him to come to him.
he was not long in responding. Rudolph
was accompanied to his fathers home
in Van Ness avenue by his handsome
wife, formerly Miss Nellie JOlliffe. The
meeting was an affecting one, and the
father, bowed by years and some in
firmities. was loath to have Rudolph
go. Soon after this reconciliation be-
tween the longparted son and father,
Rudolph Spreckels left for New York to
meet his sister. Mrs. Thomas Watson,
now a widow. who is on her way to
this city from England to attend to her
business affairs.
Close friends of Mrs. Watson and her
father are praying that Mrs. Watson
may go directly to her old father and
mother when she reaches this city. Like
Rudolph. she has not seen her father
for years, not since she married Thomas
Watson against his will. Thoe who
read the signs think that Rudolph has
carried across the continent a message
from the stricken father which Will re-
suit in his seeing his estranged daugh-
ter.
Mrs. Watson is bringing with her this
trip Miss Watson. her stepdaughter.
one of the family over which she pre-
sided since her residence in England.
Mrs Watson's married life was eXcep-
tfonaIly happy. the disparity of age
between herself and husband seeming
to cut no figure. She i said TO be
heartbrolen over the loss of her hus-
band.
