SEATTLE, Aug. 27-Today's program
at The Meadows was run off between
heavy showers, which transformed the
track into a sea of slop and mud. With
the sudden change in the conditions of
the racing was quite unsatisfactory.
Miss Bootless, the lukewarm choice for
the Juvenile event, represented the ex-
tent of public success in picking win
ners. Anna May and Fern l., two of
the beaten favOrites, were victims OF
weak rides, but the balance of the
public choices were beaten on their
merits.
Haoer, Henry and Kerry consti-
tuted a trio of winners that were heav-
lily backed by the smart set, and the
ring had anything but profitable day
despite the poor showing OF the IA
Vorites.
Jockey Walsh. who resumed riding
after an absence from the saddle of
cident, was almost the whole show in
the jockey line, winning half the card.
Jockeys Scoville and Quay were sus
pended by the starter, the former for
three days and the latter for 10 days,
for tncompetency.
Jockey Buxton is riding at Belling
ham.
c. e. Durneil is seeking an injunc-
tion in the courts against the use of
his name in the advertisements of
tipping bureau conducted by former
Jockey bucnanan VINO Was at one time
in his employ. The advertisement that
aroused Durnells ire declared that he
had come here to bring off a coup and
that Buchanan would be in on the al
legged deal. Durnell has filed suit also
for $4,000 damages, but this is not
taken seriously. Summary:
Weather showery; track, sloppy.
