Losing Plunge Made

Fantastic Wins Feature Event at
The Meadows in Very
Clever Style
By j. K. Jefery

SEATTLE, July 16.-Racing at The
Meadows today was over drying out
track, but there was general alb
sence of upsets that ordinarily mark
such conditions. Adela r, at so to 1,
was the only winner against which the
books laid long odds The remainder
of the card was accounted for by two
favorites, two second choices and one
third choice, the latter, Giovanni Bo-
lerio, being the best played horse of
the day. II. L. Jones, his owner; Frank
Doss, his trainer, and their connec-
tions profited principally. Adela r.
the winning long shot, had been the
property of II. G. Bedwell for but two
days, having been acquired by that
horseman in a trade for Senator War
ner.
Hidden Hand, one of the two fa-
vorites that made poor showing, was
going a mile for the first time in his
career and the result confirmed the
impression that he was simply
sprinter, as he stopped badly after go
ing well for seven furlongs Metla-
katla, the other favorite that failed to
finish in the money, was unfortunate
in having the inside position at the
post, and being a slow breaker, was
hopelessly hemmed in from start to
finish.
A tremendous plunge developed on
Luretta in the race which Fantastic
won in clever style. Luretta might
have made good but for being carried
at killing clip in the early stages
by May l. N, which suddenly showed a
| flash of her old time form. Consider
ing the track conditions the time of
this race was remarkably fast. SUM
