Cra btrce, will not be included among
the horses facing the starting judge at

Up to date the best mile that Sonoma
Girl has been asked to so this season

On the other hand Andrews has been

preparing her to be fitted to the min
ute when the call comes. week ago
she was stepped in 2:11A, the final
quarter in 81 seconds, while last week
she was asked TO beat that time a lit

Gregori was standing within three

The bullets entered the right arm of
his intended victim, but the wounds
are not considered serious ones. The
party, including Dreyfus, was leaving
the Pantheon to review the troops as
they passed Gregori was in the press
stand when he fired With great cool
ness President Fallieres and the dip
lomats proceeded to the reviewing
stand without manifesting concern,
thus preventing stampede.
Gregori was arrested. The prisoner
was badly beaten by bystanders be-
