SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

( SEATTLE, July 24.-Todays racing
at The Meadows was in keeping with
the card-commonpIace. Ida May and
Novgorod represented the extent of
[ public success in picking winners. Both
of these horses were heavily backed.
Ouardi, another favorite, was extensive
/ ly plunged on, but wasn't quite equal to
the task of beating Harry Scott and Ar
court, which made an exciting nose
finish OF the mile and a quarter event.
/ Nivant and Sahara, two choices that
finished out of the money, were both
victims Of crowding and jamming on
the turns that destroyed their chances.
Jockey Harris, William Walkers ap
prentice. distinguish hedshimSelf by pilot
I ing three winners.
Barney Oldfeld's showing in the race
won by Harry Scott will be the subject
/ OF judicial investigation tomorrow. This
: horse, with Jockey Gungel up, failed to
show even fash of the clever form
lowing.
Interest in the outcome of tomor-
rows derby contest is exceedingly keen
tonight, and if the day is propitiouS
record breaking attendance is ex-
/ pected. Conditions tonight are threat
ening and the racing tomorrow may be
over a wet track.

ingly scant chances have left the con-
test TO the quartet all along regarded
/ as the only contenders worthy of con-
sideration.

biltty in the added starter line. The
