The development Of two shipping

country which is supposed to have only
milling ore. is something out OF the
usual order Of things. says the BLAIR

shaft which is now at a depth OF eighty

all of whom are receiving good pay. the

Wilson, besides being one of the princi-

TraIee'S Best and Golden Tralee
to Meet i'm Course for
Championship

The fourth series Of races for the
Grand National Championship stake
will be run today at Ingleside coursing
park, and 1t will bring together the
sensational greyhound Tralee's Best
from Louis Lagarmisino's kennel and
T. Maher's fast dog. Golden TraIee.
This will be the last series OF races
in the rundown of the stake, and after
the winner Of the event is declared 1t
will leave four dogs to contest in the
semi-final round SERIES
Walla Walla, Georgetown and The
Crowd have won their races, and the
winner of today's series will meet one
of these dogs. The dogs will be
likely that Georgetown will meet Ira
iee,s Best In the event that the latter
is successful In taking the measure OF
Golden Tralee.
Tralee's Best is regarded as the
greatest dog in California. and the
greyhound that takes his measure will

Tralee's Best was by the noted sire
Wild Tralee. and was bred by the vet
eran leashman Tim Cronin, who has
raced some of the greatest dogs that
ever coursed in the state. Tralee's Best
mas the envfable record of having won
-FOUR straight stakes He has been the
biggest money winning greyhound In
Golden Tralee also is a speed marvel
and he was selected by the COMMITTEES
which picked the dogs for the Grand
National as the most likely greyhound
pion. He has a rare burst of speed
and the run up to the game should be
close contest between the two hounds.

Record Breaking Feats
at The Meadows
Seattle Track Unquesff0nabIy
One of the Fastest in
the Country
By J. K. Jefery

There is disposition in some quar-
ters to question the wonderfully fast
time made by many horses at the Sc
attic track during the meeting just
closed. Some disbelievers doubt the
correctness of the timing and others
advance the theory that the track dis
much as the distances have been veri-
lied repeatedly by competent engineers
and round to be exactly correct, the
latter theory falls to the ground. While
the timing at the northern course may
not have been all that could be desired
In the way of exactneSs, it was in the
main reliable and accurate. In virtu-
ally every instance when a new record
was made, the time hung out by the
official timer agreed with that caught
working Independently In few cases
when the official timer and the other
clockers disagreed the latter usually
caught the time even trif1e faster
than the official.
The explanation of the phenomenally
fast time made throughout the meeting
is TO be found In the character OF the
soil of which the track is constructed.
The course is very springy, responds
readily to intelligent treatment and is
easy on the legs and feet of the
horses. In the light of the class of
the horses that raced there during the
meeting just closed it should hardly be
wondered at that most OF the track rec
ords established In previous seasons by
inferior horses were shattered and in
asmuch as the track is one of the fast
est in the country, it is after all not
SO surprising that there should have
been considerable invasion of the ex-
elusive field of Americans records, or,
as some turf writers are prone to put
it, worlds records
review of the record breaking
stunts OF the meeting shows that only
the Sh furlongs, the mile and three
eighths, the mile and half and the
two mile marks in existence at the be-
ginning OF the season remain intact
The only reason that these records re-
mained unchanged was that hardly any
races were run at these distances dur
Ing the meeting. The list of the track
records UP to date is as follows:

KAUFMAN,s REApPEARANoE

The temperance In New York ring of
Al Kaufman, the big California heavy weight
will be watched with eager interest by the
fans OF the city. Al is carded to take on
big Fred Bradley before the Fairmont club Of
New York the night Of October Z. Though
the bout is only six round affair." 1t will
give Kaufman chance to show the fasteners
how he has improved.
Billy Delaney, the veteran manager who is
looking out for Kaufmans interests, is very
sincere in his beliei that Al is the master Of
either Burns or johnson, and when he stated
that he would be back here to challenge the
winner Of the Australian fight. he surely meant
what he said. for Delaney always makes good.
Delaney has had Kaufman under his wing
for the last four years now, and. as he
says himself. he does not like to give Al UP
when he believes that the way is paved for
him to gain the heavy weight championship
OF the world. Through all the big fellows ups
and down he has had stanch friend in De-
laney, who has ever believed that the lad was
there.
Kaufman surely has license to fight either
of the big fellows. He has met and beaten
the same men Burns and Johnson. He Is
larger man than either and, though he lacks
their experience. he is young and game. A
meeting between Kaufman and either the so
called champion and the black. therefore. is
very likely to take place within the next
year.
