SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
SEATTLE. July sO.-D. A. Ross Mag
net mare. The Mist, recently ordered
on the schooling list because of the
mixup for which her bad behavior at
the post last time out was responsible,
was permitted TO start in the Skyko-
mish handicap today on probation, and
the outcome was so unsatisfactory that
the stewards ordered that further en-
try Of the mare be barred until such
time as her trainer can demonstrate be-
yond all question that she is on her
good behavior at the barrier. She acted
as badly as ever when the field lined
up today, and spoiled what probably
would have been one of the best sprint
ing contests of the meeting. Interfer-
ing with other starters when the bar
rier was sprung, she beat her field
away from the gate and Immediately
established a lead of several lengths
that was as effective as If the race had
been presented to her in advance.
Sugarmaid, the first Of the balance to
start in pursuit OF the flying leader,
gamely closed part of the gap, but the
effort was futile and a creditabIe sec
Ond was the best she could do.
Tony Faust was the public choice Of
the race and did very well to finish as
good as third, considering the inter
ference that he met with in the early
stages.
The results as a whole were much
more satisfactory than those of the pre-
ceding day. Force and Darlington
made good as favorites, but bettors
We're lucky TO cash on the latter, as
he palpably interfered with Hidden
Hand and Litholin in the stretch drive.
InasmUch as neither of these horses
would have prohted by the disqualified
tion Of Darlington the judges decided
not to allow the claim Of foul.
W. 7. Anderson's Taxer was the me-
dium of a mild killing in the fourth
race.
St. Francis. the Maple stables one
time good sprinter. was plunged on in
the opening race to beat the most or
dinary field that he ever ran with, but
Miss Fairbanks took his measure with
ease. AIetlakatla, the only favorite
that ran unplaced, was the victim of
rough riding that destroyed her
chances.
The stewards today fined William
Walker $50 and ]. Hardman S10O on
account Of yesterdays fisticuffs.
W. H Chambers is the latest arrival
from Denver with his stable.
Summary:
Weather cloudy; track fast.
