Editorial Comment: l shall take
the liberty of speaking for the read
ers and asking for full information
This looks like farming we'll done.
We should hardly expect to find such
farming being done on a place where
there was not good fencing.
We want TO call attention. too. to
the fact that In the midst OF what
must be very busy farm life with
cattle. orchards. cotton. corn. truck.
chickens. and turkeys. there Is found
time also for "a fine flower yard"
The things which minister TO ones

quired.

Leary, not to allow Jockey e. Dugan to
accept any mounts until after the run

with Meelick.
Hildreth is decidedly careful, and
having discovered that hardly a day
passes when horses are not thrown at
the southern track, he has made up his
mind not to permit Dugan to take any
chances. Dugan knows Meelick thor
oughly, having piloted him to victory
in the California, Los Angeles. and
Crescent City derbies. The judges may
force him to carry out previous en-
gagements, but after that he will not
be seen in the saddle again until the
