A very good card has been arranged
Nv Secretary Smith for this afternoon
and his allotment of weights in the
handicap is very clever piece OF
work, frhe third race, a purse AFFAIR,
brings out a fair lot of sprinters, ana
Don Domo, the gray ghost ana me
ladies' pet, will make his debut LOT
this season in this race.
The first rae is a purse affair that
brings out some new ones, the pest OF
which is Augustine, the crack filly OF
TIE Pasadena stable. The balance OIL
the card is for selling platers.
As Aquiiine has shown such goou
trials in her morning workouts she is
my choice for the first race as she

zane Swift, which the latter can hardly
give and beat her Barbette is nice
sort of FLY, but can hardly beat the
+op ones. Valley Stream and Baboo
are two outsiders that have a chahee
to get some part Of the purse.
Banthel, Thunder Hill and May Diem
donne look to have the second race be-
tween them. Banthel is fast breaker
and has a good turn Of speed; should
win. Thunder Hill won nice race
here, and if she repeats her perform

The gray ghost, Don Domo, is my
selection fo- the third. He is fit and
ready and can beat these KIND with
GOOD racing luck Escalante will PROB
ably be the runner up and dangerous
factor all the way, as his last race
was a good one. Mary F. and Toupee
will probably fight it out for the snort
chance on figures, but he Is a pad
actor at the barrier and unreliable.
Col. Bob Should Win
The fourth handicap is very open
affair. Colonel Bob, If anybody else
but Taylor rides. looks to have a shade
the best of it, as he is rapid breaker
and has the speed of the party. Mag

ures next, ana has q good chance TO
beat Bob if Chauffeur Taylor rides.
erosion looks to hold Sir Edward safe
for show money. Nettie Hicks, Early
Tide and Mark Anthony are probably
only in for exercise.
The mile race, the fifth event on the
