II Tremor's BackerS
Are Rewarded
BOrgia C0Ifs Improvement In
dicafes Making of Good
Campaigner
BY J. K. Jefery
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SEATTLE, Aug. I'll Tremor, Ru-
dolph Spreckels' improving year old
colt by Borgia, won the most preten-
tious race of today's card at The
Meadows in a manner suggesting that
he may develop into a campaigner of
more than ordinary ability The horse
was the medium of a plunge that
caused him TO supplant Massa as favor
for a moments uneasiness. as II
Tremor held his field safe from start to
finish. Gene Russell was the only other
successful public choice. William Ca
hills good looking colt Argonaut was
cleverly beaten in a contest of 2 year
old maidens by Hildreth's filly Micaela,
which finally ran to the promising
work that had been responsible for
short odds against her in previous
starts. There was little inclination. to
back her today. Kansas Price made a
mild killing on his fine looking 3 year
old, Bonton, which took st. Charles
measure in the closing race by a head
in a spectacular contest, but Price was
lucky to cash as Orifamb, on which
there had also been a tremendous
third, would have won by himself but
for having run out at the head of the
stretch.
Jockey Buxton has returned from
tomorrow.
