SANTA ANITA sMATTERINes

Sam Hiidreth, one of the plggest
owners on the coast this winter, was
visitor to Santa Anita yesterday, and
stated that twenty head of horses from
his stable would be in either today or
tomorrow. Many good ones are in the
lot. and Hildreth expects to pick up
several purses here before the end of
the season.
While he has many stars in the con-
signment due at the local course, 1t is
not probable that Montgomery, Meelick
or Uncle will be seen here. Every one
of the cracks is laid up with some all
ment or other and Hildreth does not
expect them to be ready in time to do
much on the coast. This is great
disappointment- to local racegoers, who
were expecting Rifleman and Montgom-
cry to get together in one of the stakes
and also to see Uncle, the $4,000 colt
race on Santa Anita turf.
The fuse on Arragon before the sixth
race was either timed too short or Alse
the horse worked it out, for Immediately
previous to the event the Baldwin trick
took a notion to do some high and lofty
tunbling in the paddock. He tore up
everything in sight, and after soaring
everyone in the place over the rail was
finally captured in time to go to the post
and run fifth. Some of these "dyna-
mite naQuleTS are So CdIeleSS.
Harty lis certainly good boy this
year Last season whenever he was up
the wisenheimers would put their money
back into their jeans and stayed off the
race, for he was the prize chief of the
lot. Now the lad can hold his own
with any of them, and the way he pilot
ed his two winners yesterday proved
his right to the bull that was peddled
about him early in the meeting.
Since Goldstein broke. on Chief Des-
mond the other day he has evidently
struck his stride. and yesterday the sec
ond and third winners on the card were
under his care, They were both at good
prices, too, and we'll rewarded those
who are following the little fellow.
About as much rough stuff as could
be piled into one race occurred in the
closing number on the card, when
Gromoboi. with Musgrave up. bumped
everything on the track and nearly
knocked Nadzu off his stride in the
stretch. Some way or other the judges
were lenient with their ruling and not
even a reprimand was coming to Mus
grave.

carman's Progress
BY j. G. GRIFFIN

Colonel Bob, Ed Alvey's grand little
Cesarion colt, demonstrated some real
class yesterday. Pitted against the best
2-year-olds at the local course with the
exception of Magazine, the blackbird stood
thsm all on their heads and won the
feature on the card with ease, running
the 1--WE furlongs in 50 2-5 seconds and
establishing new record for the distance
in this section.
The ease with which Colonel Bob, favor
ite in the betting over All Alone, Early
Tide, Stanley Fay and others, did the
trick male the wise ones ask just how
fast he could go II pressed. While he
broke none too well the colt passed his
field in 100 yards, and after establishing
a nice lead was allowed to go as he
pleased for the remainder of the journey,
winning under hand ride.
Aside from Colonel Bob's race the fea-
ture of the day was Fastosos victory in
the fourth event While the lad who
gathers the dope for the form chart failed
to find anything better than 30 to l as
high price it did not take an overly
strong pair Of field glasses to discover
plenty Of fifty against the Baldwin trick,
and at that price he had some support.
Ever since Lisaro and Diamonito cashed
in for the Czar of Arcadia the moon
shooters have been stringing their scrip
along with the black jacket and red NAL
tese cross, and when Fastoso scored
there were several wild-eyed CHANDELIERS
cIutching their pasteboards and waiting
for the official to toll in on the betting
ring board. Some Of the Baldwin string
also made a bet on their representative.
and there was a commotion when Harty
piloted the long shot across In front of
Giovanni Balerip, who was strong hunch
with the banana peddlers.
After trying Foley on Niblick a couple
of times Henry Mason finally liked the
price and stuck Goldstein on his gelding,
the result being that Niblick scored
easily. Alteration was some of the hot
dope passed out along with Progress, but
neither was good enough to beat Niblick.
despite the latter's apparent lack of form
in his previous endeavors.
w. D. Millard is making great strldes
toward getting together real racing
stable and stuck in claim for Progress
after the second number on the card. On
Thursday Millard grabbed Ed Ball by the
same process. and when he secured the
Carman entry for ss25 he felt as though
the jinks had passed. Progress cost Car
man an even 900. and as he won couple
of the races the New Yorker lost nothing
on the deal.

SHORT PRICED FAvORlTE
WINS IN OPENING EVENT

Despite a bad humping on the back
stretch and all kinds of poor racing luck
before the wire was reached, La Londe,
the odus-on favorite for the opening
number, was good enough to win from
Teacress in a drive through the last
furlong. Belasco, which ran the best
race of the bunch, came fast enough to
cop the show money and reward those
who played him to run in this position
at to l.
The start was ordinary for the seven
who went out to face the issue over the
six furlong route, Tallarand and Bush
whacker breaking in front. The former
set the pace for half mile and then
FL Bernardo, which had been laying sec
ond, took it up and carried the bunch
into the stretch. Here Teacress and
La Londe got busy and in a drive Harty
was abe to return the Cushing mare
winner. Belasco made nice run
from sixth place and moved down
horses to be third, ten lengths back of
the first two.

PAuMoNoK FAILS UTTERLY
IN LAST RACE OF DAY

Although a horse of some class, Pau
monok showed nothing in the last num-
ber on the card, and finished last in a
field of eight ordinary platers. The win
ner turned up in Gromoboi, at 8 to /,
with Nadzu. heavily backed, second, and
Old Dominick third.
Old Dominick took up the early run
ming, with Stray and Gromoboi close up
all the way When turned loose Gromo-
boi quickly broke into the lead, main
tanning the advantage to the end. Mad
zu closed resolutely and was beaten
only a head for the big end of things,
with Old Dominick three lengths back for
the show money. Paumonok showed a
little early speed, but after going a
quarter steadily retreated.

CHANGE OF JOCKEYS is
GREAT HELP TO NlBLICk

Goldstein was put up on Niblick, in
place of Foley, who has been riding the
Mason ge,ding in his losing races here,
and the result was gratifying to those
who played him. Niblick was an easy
winner over Progress by a length, with
Bellemence four lengths back of the
place horse to get the show money
from Alteration, which ran a bad race.
Eight selling platers went over the
seven furlong chute to try conclusions,
and Hoffman lined them up in short
order. Progress, with Burns usual post
ability, was rated second to Bellemence
to the quarter, where he was moved
up to assume command. Niblick came
along, after passing the far turn, and
led for the rest of the Journey winning
by length. Progress held the place
safe. with Bellemence third. Alteration,
we'll up in the early running and meet
ing with no mishap, failed to run her
race and could do no better than third.

effort established a new mark for the
five furlongs, running the distance in

for the show money.
Stanley Fay broke in front. but before
they had gone 100 yards Col. Jack shot
by on the outside like fash and as
sumed a winning lead in few jumps.
Stanley Fay stuck on in the place posi-

that their opponents would never
fight at all.
From his entrance to the senate
until his exit, when peace was no
longer possible, Houston warned,
begged, prayed for Cancellation and
moderation Andrew Jackson, who
had been his friend and patron, who
was his model in war and in politics,
spoke with his voice to a generation
that knew not Jackson-that knew
only of an issue between William
Lloyd Garrison, who declared the
constitution a league with death and
a covenant with hell, and jefferson
Davis, who had made up his mind
that it was impossible for the south
to remain in a union in which at
any time John Brown raids might be
renewed under a federal admins
etration more favorable to the John
Browns than to the people Of the
states threatened with the horrors Of
Hayti.
Jackson would have cheerfully as
sisted in hanging Garrison and Davis
as traitors to "the best government
the sun ever shone on" and Houston
was no doubt much Of the same mind,
but he had outlived the time when
he understood the spirit Of politics
or could make himself Ineligible
to those who were forcing issues
which he clearly saw must be ruinous..
The old man loved his country, the
whole of it, even Massachusetts. He
was slave owner himself, but, like
nearly all prominent men of the south
in his youth, he did not believe that
one man had right to own another,
and he hoped to see slavery gradually
and peacefully abolished. But, as he
told the senate in his farewell speech
in 1859, the maintenance Of the union
was the paramount consideration.
