performances in Portland and the
Press has the following comment or
the first performance Friday night:

The facts We're that he liked n.usica,
comedy and he liked comic opera but
il remained for Messrs. Blossom and
Herbert to mingle them in just the
right proportions. In The Mill' this
balancing of proportions has been done
with admirable effect. There is fun
enough to satisfy the person who has a

DAILY HAS Won BUT $3.50
Time Has Changed the Luck of
Father Bill.
Veteran Turfman Has More Than
Three Dozen Horses ON His String,
but They Cannot Win.

It is an old but a mighty true saying
that Time viii tell. % Years ago there
was no more prominent figure on the turf
than the redoubtable Father Biz Daily
Purses and stakes used to roll home 10
him. and he always was up in the first
division Of winning owners. Now things
are different and the Daily fortunes are on
the wane. In fact, Father Bill does not
cut much figure in racing save for the
fact that he is good angel for the feed
men.
Daily still plods on, however, with the
hope that sooner or later he will be able
to make ends meet He does not purchase
any good horses, but insists on holding TO
nearly three dozen racers that have prob
ably seen their best days. Few of them in
the past season have been able 10 get into
the money. and those that did did not
earn enough TO pay the expenses of the
big barn that shelters the lot in DaIys
lane. Gravesend.
DAILY made a fortune out Of jockeys.
and they have been his best horses" dur
ing the better part of the last ten years
or more. Money that he made on the
lads contracts have been his mainstay,
and only last summer he received quite
a bonus for the papers he held on the
little lad Guy Burns, who is making quite
a record for himself al Los Angeles under
the care Of r. F. Carman.
III luck came TO Daily f0rCibly about
half a dozen years ago when, in the early
spring. he had a colt named Tam-a-naw-is.
This fellow started out at Benning and
swept all before him. DAILY was offered
Ike Sl5.OO0 for the youngster.
but he refused it. He hadn't a good
horse in some time. and he wanted 10
keep one. However. the youngster was
unlueky when he came North, and met
with an accident in race that ended his
career.
In ali, DAILY won the insignificant
amount of $3.50 during the entire racing
session of last year.
