Charles J. Glidden's automobile trip
from Chicago to the City of Mexico
was brought to a sudden end within
cember 81. The car was being oper-
ated over the tracks of the Mexican
National Railroad, and when within
less than two hours ride of the Mex
lean capital a front wheel struck a
small rock wedged between the main
rail and the guard rail at a road
crossing. The car was thrown of
the track and partly demolished, and
the occupants were scattered over the
right of way. Fortunately none was
injured. The details of the wreck are
told in letter which has just reached
this city.
Those with Glidden at the time of
the accident were: Mrs. w. S. Hill of
Ell Paso, Miss Martha Waldron-
Barron; Charles Thomas. the engineer;
w. S. Page, trainmaster of the Next
can division of the National. and a
Mexican newspaper man. Mrs. Gid
den had left the party at San An
tonic.
The car was damaged so greatly
that 1t had to be removed to the City
of Mexico by a wrecking train. 1t
will be shipped to the factory in Eng
land for repairs Glidden and Mrs.
Glidden will get 1t next summer and
then tour England and Scotland, 60
ing later from the British Isles to
Cairo and making a tour of Africa.

STANFORD's RUGBY TEAM
BENEFITS BY NORTHERN TRIP
Coach flanagan Says the Players
Learned Much About the Game
and HIVE Improved Greatly

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. a.
Coach flanagan returned from the
northern Rugby football trip today.
Speaking of the showing made by the
Stanford team he said:
We had a fine trip. and were treated
royalty by the northerners. All the
games were very close and the scores
indicate the relative merits of the two
hfteens- The Vancouver team was
much stronger than the aggregation
which came south a few months ago.
Marshall being the only one who played
both here and in the north. All of the
games. including that with Victoria
were far better than anything we have
had In California, The fellows learned
a great deal of Rugby on the trip. and
the experience obtained will prove OF
the utmost value"

j. ]. McCafferty and afterward re-
instated. The trouble with Nealon's
entry probably is a purely technical
one, the dispatch states, as the Pacific
Coast Jockey Club failed to send an
official notification of DurnelTs re-
instatement to the New York Jockey
Club.
Durnell, in an interview yesterday
afternoon, said that he had not re-
ceived any notice from New York of
the holding up of his. entries to the
metropolitan stakes, which were mailed
from here last week Secretary Treat
OF the jockey club was unable to
say definitely last evening that
he had notified the New York
Jockey Club of Durnelrs REIN
statement, but it was his impress
sion that he had. He will give the
matter his attention today and will
communicate with the New York turf
authorities, from whom he has heard
nothing officially concerning the case.
s. G. Hildreth has wired to Secretary
McFarlan of the Memphis track to re-
serve his former stable at Montgomery
Park for him, as he is planning to par
tcipate in the spring meeting, which
will open there in early April. Hildreth
Will leave here in 4larch with the pick
Of his string for his usual Eastern
campaign at Memphis, Louisville and
New York. His poorer performers will
be turned out here for the summer and
will be taken UP next fall, when Hill
dreth will return to Emeryville for
another winter campaign. He is thor
oughly satisfied with his move in com
ing to the coast this winter, instead
of going TO New Orleans, as has been
his custom in recent years.
c. z. Durnell entered a protest with
the stewards yesterday against the val
idity of the claiming of Neptunus by
William Game, on the ground that
Game claimed the horse in the name
of Game & Co. without the sanction
of his partner. Should the stewards sus-
tain the protest. claims put in for the
horse by several other owners who had
horses in the race will be recognized in
their proper order, SO 1T appears unlike
ly that Durnell will get Neptunus back,
regardless of the disposition of the
protest. Neptunus is generally con-
sidered choice offering at s725, and
several of those whose horses ran
against him would be glad to get him
at the figure named.
James Fitzsimmons, Jockey Miller's
manager. was at the track yesterday
but the crack rider, who is expiating
his misconduct in the saddle by week
on the ground. failed to put in an ap-
pearance. Fftzsimmons. commenting on
the decision of the judges, expressed
himself as satisfied that the punish
ment melted out to the lad was merit
ed and added that the lesson undoubt-
edly would be taken to heart by the
boy.
Jockey Mcintyre has been set down
by Starter Hoffman for five days on ac-

Gossip Of the Track

S. c. Hildreth closed a contract yes
terday for the services Of Leroy VIII
liams, the crack colored jockey. for
one year The boy. 1T is understood,
is to receive $500 as his retainer VIII
liams is regarded as Miller's most
formidable rival among the riders at
Emeryville and his connection with the
Hndreth stable will afford him an ex-
cellent opportunity to increase his per-
centage of winning mounts from this
time on, as Hildreth unQuestionably
has about as capable a lot of perform
ers as any owner racing in the West
williams rode for w. B. Jennings at
New York last summer with marked
success and probably will do even
better when he goes East with the
Hndreth stable this year. as he will
have had the benefit of the Metro
politan experience that Jennings gave
him last year. The boy has large
following of admirers at Emeryville
who will be glad to learn OF his good
fortune. He resumed riding yesterday
after a layoff of several days on
account of injuries received when CAL
mar fell in a race last week. He has
entirely recovered from the effects Of
the fall and is in condition to show
his best form in the saddle.
The stewards yesterday instituted an
Official inquiry into the circumstances
connected with Hector's victory at a
long price in the Geheimness Handicap
on Tuesday. Louis Marshall, trainer
and part owner of the horse was
summoned before the board and said
that he had bet only $50 straight and
$50 place on Hector on Tuesday, while
he had bet hundreds on him at to !
when he ran last on December 81. He
produced tickets TO back UP his con-
tention and said that he was at q loss
to account for the horses poor show
ing upon the former occasion.
S. c. Hildreth was asked for an ex-
PLANTATION of Van Ness poor perform
ance in the race which Hector won
and could assign no cause except that
the horse might have found the hard
bottom not 70 his liking. Van Ness
carried a substantial stable wager. The
stewards viii pursue further their in
vestigation into the race.
A dispatch comes from New York TO
the effect that the Coney Island Jockey
Club has not announced the nomination
of Nealon for the Suburban Handicap,
in spite Of the fact that the entry
OF the horse was made by c. Z. Dur
nell. The entry is being held up until
such time as the stewards Of the
