been expected from the mediocre fields
that furnished the racing, it was a
day of disappointments at The Mead
ows. For the second time this week
all the favorites were bowled over.
Colonel Dick, Webber, Mechlin, Ida
May J. Z. Donahue and Wise Child
made UP the list The last named ran
like a false alarm, showing nothing TO
warrant the support Iavished upon him.
Colonel Dick and Mechlin were both
sadly deficient in speed. Weber was
simply not good enough. Donahue was
a victim of a poor ride and Ida May
was unable 10 cope with the steadily
. improving Fern L, which easily scored
her third straight victory of the meet
ing. Abbey and II Tremor, two of the
winners, displayed conspicuous i'm
provement over their last previous per-
fOrmances.
Jacob Schaefer, editor of the Stats
ZeiJunE and Press, has taken the in
itiative toward the organization of q
local branch of the personal liberty
league, and his paper will lead the
fight against the prohibition movement
in this state.
+. +. Friedman, san Francisco turf
man, was an arrival today.
