Platers Run Well to
Form at Seattle
Four FavorifeS and Second
Choice Lead Mediocre Fields
to the Wire
By j. X. Jefery

SEATTLE, Aug. 25.-Sell1ng platerS
the card at The Meadows today and
the racing was of the commonplace
and uneventful sort, but withal so
second choice Were included in the
list of winners. Alma Boy, which
misguided plunge made false favorite
/ in the opening race. was the only first
choice that failed to place.
NJ ]. Hayes good colt Listowel made
a show of the clever company that he
was meeting in the Juvenile event and
bears all the earmarks of a useful
platter
Rudolph Spreckels' cerise colors were
borne to a sensationally achieved vic
tory by Sachet the only winning out
slider of the day.
Jockey A Morgan was suspended in
definitely at today's session of the
day. Morgan's saddle form here has
not been of sort TO enthuse over.
Captain E. e. Caine. vice president
and father of The Meadows racing en-
terprise, died suddenly today of apo
plexy He was wealthy and one of
Seattle's solid citizens.
