SEATTLE. July 1S.-An exception
ally good Monday card provided some
excellent sport at The Meadows today
Although only two favorites scored
the racing was formful, and there was
an utter absence of surprising upSets
The greatly improved Belle Of IrOquois
equaled the. track record in winning
the seven furlong dash that furnished
the most pretentious contest of the day
Cricket" Kelly, who was making his
temperance on this mare. was ac-
corded an ovation, both before and after
the race, which demonstrated that he is
prime favorite with the local race
going public. Sugarmaid, the oddson
favorite of the race, was injudiciousiy
waited with in the early stages, and
Iroquois was permitted to obtain too
much of a lead for the favorite to over
come when Jockey Buxton set her
down. In doing SO Buxton was riding
to orders.
Nagazam may have been lucky to
win the opener, for he beat the gate
and then bothered Blondy when that
horse tried TO get through on the rail
in the stretch. For the offense Jockey
Scoville was fined $50. The judges are
waging disciplinary campaign to COM
| pei riders to ride straight and true in
1.-THE stretch.
The st. James stable was decidedly
| in evidence, Anderson and Margaret
Randolph carrying its colors to victory.
Both of these horses were well backed
| by stable connections.
Rudolph Spreckels appears to have
promising colt in IL Tremor. the BOrgia
8 year old that scored his third victory
/ of the meeting in good company today.
| The Keenes had to stand a runup of
5000 to retain NagaZam. Charlie San
ford did the boosting.

with the manner in which his appren-

Shot a few days ago that he an
nounced his intention of suspendinS the
