assist her sister.
Their screams added to the animals

the Verdugo mountains.
Alex Smith, a Glendale real estate
man, ran into the middle of the ROAD
after the horse had sped three-quarters
of mile and tried to seize the horse
at the same time yelling to Mrs. Messer
to hold on. He feared that If she
Jumped she would sustain broken limbs
or conclusion of the brain from fall.
The horse here swerved into side
lot and fell over a surveyors corner
stake, the stumble throwing 1t In
heap. Smith ran up at this time and
disengaged horse and harness and lifted
the half-unconscious Mrs. 'Messer to
the grass. Passengers from passing
car rushed to the rescue.
Pitt P. Hand, who saw the mishap
from his home hurriedly drove to the
scene in a buggy which he had COM
Wandered for the occasion and took
both victims to a nearby doctors office.
Mrs. Kennady is mass of bruises
and scratches, but sustained no internal
injuries Mrs. Messer was not so Sc
yereIy injured, though her face shows
the effects of the rough trip.

BUT FEW BRUSHES Many Horses Out on the Goffe Street Speedway, But
 Little Racing. ONE SLIGHT ACCIDENT Mounted Officer kecnan Makes Bril- liant Step of Runaway Horse
 Yesterday.
ONE SLIGHT ACCIDENT |

The Goffe street speedway was the scene of many impromptu brushes yes terday afternoon Fully fifty local driving enthusiasts had their horses out on the course speeding up. There were a good many exciting brushes, but with one or two exceptions no real race. Early in the afternoon, the diff ferent drivers were wary, and did not care to try out their horses against each other. good portion Of the af- ternoon was spent in the horsemen driving up and down the course, warm ing up their own horses and watching the actions of their rivals horses.
 Towards the end of the afternoon, however, chance brought Gypsy Boy driven by C J. Atwood, and Sir AL gether. These two horses are exceed ingly well matched. Both on the turf and on snow there has been consider able rivalry. and the number of win nings credited to each horse has been about the same Hitherto this season, neither racer has won any decided victory. Thus it continued yesterday. The two stallions ran a beautiful race and when the horses reached the end of the course. it was impossible to pick the winner so closely did the contest ing steeds run. A second heat was run but this resulted in dead heat also The two competitors then deeided they had had enough, and postponed trying any more conclusions for the day This was about the only race of the day. al- though, of course, there were short

FLOWERS FOR MRS. PARRISH
Frank FicmI and Orchestra Show Versatility in Their Excel

A program that ranged from Boito's
 Mefistofele" to an Irish jig and St Patrick's Day in the Morning. and from the Merry Widow waltzes to Mendels- sohn's wedding music. Such was the cosmopolitan character of the concert given by the Dorscht lodge orchestra in tho Hyperion last night, and a good sized audience appeared to enjoy it all immensely. Frank Fichtl, leader of the Second Regiment band, violinist. and i all around good musician and good fel- low that he is. conducted. A well balanced orchestra entered into the spirit of the evening and the men played as if they enjoyed the mu- sic as much as did those on the other | sideof the footlights.
 The familiar strains of Wiegan's s Dorscht March No. opened the pro gram, and the merry swing of that number and the spirit with which it was played put everybody into the best of humor.
 composition for string orchestra and a serenade for strings. flute. clari- onet and French horn, both by Luders showed that MT. Fichtl and his men could play with delicacy and discrimin- ation, suite from the ballet Egyptien by Luigine, was tho most ambitious thing on the program, and the orches- ira played it creditably.
 An arrangement of familiar old Irish melodies by Myddleton was charming. It was good to hear the sturdy beauti- ful melodies each different from the other, yet all so characteristic and gen uine
 Of course the 'Siamese Patrol' of L1ncke, and the Echo from the Merry Widow had to be repeated

sprints between whatever horses were going over the course. Some of the horses and their drivers seen nm the course were Little Jay driven bv Tames Ferguson: Dewey H driven by George w. Hughes; Quick Silver driven hv Dr. Reilly. The latter beautiful gray horse created as much talk, and comment yesterday. as 1t does when if annears on inc speedway. Other horses and their drivers were, Duskymont Ralnl, Cavellaro: Santiago MT, Kannegeisser: Radium. Mr. Angus; Geo. R.. Dr Law ton. Domino, Walter Clarke. and Pe- tronia Princess driven by Peter strong,
 All the drivers pronounced the course was in fine condition, A gang of five men had put in all Saturday night in getting the course in shape, and to oue uninitjated in snow courses it looked as they did their work up good and proper." Yesterdays speeding served to pack the course even harder. and should, if anything, improve to- days going, An even larger crowd of horse enthusiasts will be present in to-day's speed contests
 Both sides of the Goffe street course were lined with spectators, and con servative estimate of the number of onlookers would put the number at 2,500.
 But ore accident marred yesterdays sport and fortunately that was not a serious one. It was caused by the driy- ing onto the course from one of the side streets of a horse and cutter. The horse got into the way of one of the sprint fests. Before the oncoming hors- es cou,d he stopped, the horse owned by pr, Hemingway and driven by the latters groom ran into the horse which had turned into tho speedway. The re- suit was pr. Hemingway's sleigh was overturned. and the driven thrown out The horse was the first to realize what had happened, and started on a mad eallop for Westyille via Goffe street and the Goffe street hill, Mounted Of ficer Kienan was on duty at Orchard street, and made brilliant stop of the runaway horse. His stop was seen by many people and he was cheered to the echo. Neither horse nor cutter were injured. although the latter was scratched up little. Strange to say neither the horse that was the cause of it all nor it's driver were injured. Neither was Dr. Hemingway's groom.

STEER ADDRESSES STUDENTS
Far Reaching Influence of Bad Deeds
 subject of Sermon.

Robert Speer addressed the Yale students yesterday morning in Battell chapel using for his text the story of Judas. He speculated on the reaction the deed of Judas must have had on his parents and then urged the stu dents to remember that what they did did not have it's effect on them alone. but on every one connected with them.
 He said that the bad deeds of men of the present day dim and sometimes obliterate the noble memories of their ancestors. As an example of this he mentioned a congressman, chairman of the ways and means committee of some years ago, who by his conduct brought to disgrace the memory of his father who had been vice presi- dent.
