SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
SEATTLE, Sept. 2.-Smiley Corbett,
William Cahill's gigantic 8 year old
Toddington colt, made a new track rec
ord for four furlongs when he can
tered the distance in :46 As in winning
all aged field at The Meadows Cor
bett only galloped all the way and
good judges expressed the opinion after
the race that had it been necessary he
easily could have shaded the American
record of :461a for the distance on
circular track and perhaps the
straightaway record of :46. This colt
Is in splendid fettle just now and prob
ably is the fastest horse in training on
the coast. Because of the interest that
Sam Hildreth retains in him he was
coupled in the betting with Hildreth's
Micaela, the entry ruling the shortest
priced favorites of the season. Instant
another Hildreth year old, was the
only other successful favorite today
Green Seal, running to his best form,
coincidentally with extensive ring sup
port, made show of the field with
which he contested the handicap fea-
ture, in which Mirzer made a dismal
showing as the favorite. The proverbial
ton of money was incinerated when
Josies Jewel was beaten in the fifth
Jockey Archibald, suspended early in
the season on account of a reversal of
form by Toupee, was reinstated TODAY
The number of books in operation in
the big ring today was reduced to 10.
Johnny Lewis and H. L. Jones were.
former is $4,000 winner and the lat
ter nearly twice as much to the good
on the meeting. Jones will depart to-
morrow for Denver, prepared to book
there If betting is permitted Columbus
Jones also will leave for Denver to-
morrow. Summary:
Weather clear; track fast.
