Those who arrived at the track early
yesterday afternoon had considerable
fun commenting upon the odd name
| written upon the board that is used tc
bulletin messages that are received al
the track. A message was received for
! Wat Seamster, but the operator got his
dope mixed and bulletined the name OF
| Wat Seamstress. Charlie Bergin, the
witty press agent, got a piece of chalk
! and put an apostrophe between the w
and "a" of the first name and placed
an Interrogation point after the name.
No answer had been received by Bergie

H. A. Unruh was a happy man for
a few moments yesterday afternoon.
He had a combination ticket calling for
S144 to SO on st. Ilario, Ida May and
Belle of Iroquois, all to win. Ida May
and st. Ilario had won for him and
Belle looked like the class of the last
race. Belle threw him down. however,
as she would not run for him.
Goldstein drew a $50 fine yesterday
for cutting off Hasty Agnes in the third
race. He had the mount on Ida May,
and she had the speed to go to the
front without foul tactics, but Gold
stein was so anxious to win that he
overlooked the fact that Hasty Agnes
was around and pulled over in front of
her forcing Martin to pull her up.
Rough riding win not be tolerated by
the judges, and if the jockeys keep up
their rough work there is apt to be
something disagreeable doing for them
shortly.
w H. Dupee, son of a Chicago bank
er and quite wealthy himself, is pass

mia and is on his way to the far south

Al Greenewald was out to Arcadia
yesterday selling cigars, and got
through with his business about 1
o'clock. He had not attended the races
this season, so he drove his chug wag-
on over to the track for a brief stop.
He remained long enough to put down

Judge Ed Cole stubbed his toe Tues
DAY night while walking up the stairs
at his home and fell heavily, sustaining
a painful bruise on his shoulder. He
remained at home throughout yester-
cay, 1t being the first day he has been
unable to be at his post in the stand

Frank Regan takes exceptions to the
printed story to the effect that he was
discharged from the employ of r. F.
Carman in Canada last summer. Regain
says he has not been in Canada in five
years and only helped Carman with his
horses in the Empire City summer
meeting more as an accommodation
and friendly courtesy to the New York
millionaire. After the Empire City
meeting, he and Carman parted in the
best of friendship, and there never has
been any other feeling between them.
He never was in the permanent en-
ploy of Carman and, therefore, could
not have been discharged. Regain owns
a stable of horses and has enough to
do to look after them, so could not
train for anybody but Frank Regain.
w. V. Conran arrived yesterday from
the icebound east and said that he
never felt so kindly toward Los An
geles in all his life as when he got
near enough to begin to thaw out.
Judge Pomeroy has a big surprise
in store for kicking horsemen in flu
ture when an attempt is made to start
an argument as to the time for fling
claims. An electric clock is in opera
ton in his office and is started by u
push button in the judges stand as
soon as a race is finished, and runs for
fifteen minutes the full time allowed
for filing claims. When the fifteen
minutes expire the hand starts a loud
noise and the electric clock stands as
evidence that the time for filing claims
