Uncertain form Of many of the start
ers in the various events to BE- decided
this afternoon at Santa Anita, with the
equally uncertain weather and track
conditions, makes the job of picking
winners rather hazardous and extreme
ly difficult. The prospect is good for
at least a slow track, and the selections
made herein are based upon this as
sumption.
Half dozen good ones will go to the
post in the Introductory scramble.
There is a great deal of speed in this
race, and as 1t is sprint affair most
any old horse in 1t may be expected
to show that form indicated in work.
outs. ColIoquy would be my selection
on a fast track, and with the prospect
good for a slow or muddy course this
ones chances ie increased. She is
not as quick at the break as Center
Shot, but she is a gamer and speedier
racer over this course. Center Shot
breaks away from the barrier like a
singed bat out of Hades, but she is a
bleeder, and with such great speed OPP
posed to her she is apt to bleed today,
or at least be outrun. Ida May Is
another good one that has been work.
ing well, and II she runs to her work.

what Hildreth thinks about his chances
and he is as foxy as Abe Attell when
it comes to "stalling' for a price in
the ring. On a muddy track the Hill
dreth entry will about do, but if the
track is only slow or, even better, if 1t
is fast, Dominus Arvi is the one all of
them must beat. This gay old speed
marvel never was half as good as now
and he believes in going out and taking
the lead right away and sticking there.
Lee Rose is the choice of the average
horseman who has no entry and his
light weight is sufficient to attract
many supporters, but it remains to be
proven that 2-year-old can go out In
front and make an older horse of good
class quit. Old Timer is a dark horse
in more ways than one and may be q
surprise right in this race. Lisaro will
cut no figure whatever in the running
and Green Seal hardly will ever get
close enough to the front to be danger
Gus. Vox Populi must be passed up as
being too uncertain and hardly good
enough for this bunch. Jack Nunnally
has failed to show anything that gives
him a chance in here and Gemmell
probably will be started in the last
race, while Stanley Fay hardly can
beat this kind today. The finish should
be Dominus Arvi, IIildreth entry, Lee
Rose.
The fifth race appears 10 pc tnTee-
horse affair, Miss Officious, Husky ana
Bye Bye II seeming to have it all to
themselves. Miss Officious is fit and
ready and should beat the others with
out being any too much extended.
Husky is cherry ripe and fresh from
a winning race at Oakland He should
be the conteder and Bye Bye II cannot
be worse than third. The others do
not count for much in this field, and
ST. Ilario is the only other one that
could have an outside chance. the
finish: Miss Oncious, Husky, Bye
Bye II.
The last race of the day looks like
one Of the oldtime stake races. 1t mas
a better class of horses in it than the
average Ascot park stake event usually
boasted. If Gemmell starts in this
race he will be the best bet of the
day. as there is nothing in against
him that can make him run just now
Dominus Arvi hardly will start here,
having such a good chance in the stake
race. but If he does he surely will be
no worse than second. Neva Lee also
is dangerous and may split the first
two named. Neva is good now and
has been showing it in races and work
outs. All the others are boomers just
vet. either lacking work or good hard
race to put them on edge. The result:
Gemmell Dominus Arvi, Neva Lee.

horses represented Ill the tdlu 1OI To-
day is concerned. and assuredly there
can be no disappointment for those
who have builded hopes upon seeing
classy horses race at this meeting. II
the card for today is to be taken as a
sample the sport throughout the season
should be of the highest class.
Patrons of the sport will find an i'm
proved transportation service sched-
uled for the season. The electric rail-
way and the Southern Pacific will fur
nish not only adequate accommodations
for the public, but a quicker service
TO and from the grounds will be main
tanned, with a supply of cars and trains
at all times that win fully accommo-
date those who desire to see the ponies
run.
Practically the same old officials will
be In charge of the meeting. DIR. J. s.
Gardner, one of the few race track
managers who can lay any claim to
popularity with the public, will be in
active charge. Col. A. W. Hamilton,
whose long service has so uniformly
pleased the local racegoing public and
in whom the public has entire conf
dence, will be back in the presiding
judgeship and will have his same as
sistants, Ed Cole and p. P. Pomeroy.
Jake Hoffman, who has off1ciated al
ternately with Dick Dwyer as starter
at local race meetings ever since Los
Angeles got on the big turf map. will
send the fields away from the barrier
for the first five or six weeks of the
season and then go to Emeryville to
relieve Dwyer, who will come south for
several weeks. Handicapped E. Q.
Smith, whose work last season was so
eminently satisfactory that no other
name was mentioned when 1t came TO
choosing the Handicapped and racing
secretary for the f908-09 meeting, is
back on the job and will furnish the
conditions of all events, except the
stakes, and assign weights in the han
dicaps. Gene ElTod, and no race meet
ing hereabouts could be properly held
unless he was here in an official posi-
ton, will again be in charge of the
ring, and since he always has been
the court of appeals for the public,
that had any differences with the
bookmakers, and usually decides in IA
vor of the aforesaid public, he is both
well known and popular with the pa
irons of the sport.
1t is probable that the ring will be
larger by far this season than last, and
it already is assured that the book
makers will put on more big stores
than ever before, and this means more
active competition for the public busi-
ness and better prices for those who
desire to invest. Many members of
the NETS" organization will be in line
this afternoon and probably will con-
tinue throughout the season. It is
probable that not less than twenty-five
books will cut in this afternoon for
the first three days run, and it need
not be surprising if the number is
much greater. The first race will be
called at 1850 O'clock

HOW TO TEST LINSEED OIL

There is nothing that VIII make
paint go wrong on the house more
quickly than poor oil. 1t is as bad in
its way as adulterations in the white
lead. Petroleum oil cheapeners may
be detected by placing drop of the oil
on black painted surface. If one sees
the characteristic iridescence or play
of colors which kerosene exhibits, it
is evidence of adulteration. Corn and
fish oil can be detected by the smell.
Adulteration in white lead can best
be discovered by the use of blow
