SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
SEATTLE, July 29-From the stand
point of form this was the worst day
OF the season at The Meadows. Horses
that could be given a scant chance on
Immediately previous performances cut
wide swath in the results. In this
category were Redwood II, Taylor
George. Fred Bent. Tavora and Gigana.
All five of these horses improved with
suddenness that fairly stupefed form
followers. Redwoods case was looked
upon with indulgence, as that horse
was making his initial start in the col
ors of William Caine, who recently ac-
qAred him for $500.
Taylor Georges reversal was as much
or a surprise TO Roy Offutt, his owner,
linqulshed second call on Jockey Walsh
on account of the failure of that boy TO
ride this horse to orders when running
at snort odds last out, when Onutt
mad a $1,000 bet down. Today he bet
only 5000 to show, and with Jockey
rage up Taylor George made show OF
his field
Trainer Doss, when called upon by
the Judges for explanation of the sud
Qen Improvement in II. r. Schaffer
Tayora and Fred Bent. said that he
could not account for the failure or
these horses to run as they should have
the previous time out. Gigana's victory
was somewhat in the nature of fiuke,
as Shirley Rossmore seemingly the
pest thing on the card, and held as such
IN the books, received a most injudi-
cious ride at the hands of Jockey Gau
gel, who ran her into the ground the
nrst part after getting off poorly, with
the result that she tired badly at the end
and had nothing left to stall off Giganas
closing rush; Gigana was exception
ally we'll backed for long shot, going
TO the post at 16 after having been as
good as 40. st. Charles, Fair Annie and
Massa, three of the beaten favorites,
made creditable races, but Aunt Polly
and Belle of Iroquois, the other choices
that went down to defeat, ran nowhere
near expectations, and many of the spec
tators disagreed with the judges over
the placing of the horses in the fourth
race. the finish of which was exceed
ingly close between Fred Bent and
Hasty Agnes
awarding of the purse to Hasty Agnes
after BentS number had been displayed
as the winner, and the demonstration
assumed alarming proportions at its
height but subsided without any serious
results.
Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned by a personal encounter in the
paddock between William Walker. the
well known owner, and j. Hardman, a
San Franciscan, who figured in a SINH
lar affair with ]. c. NealOn at Emery
Vile last year. Walker easily took
care of his husky young opponent, the
spectators say. The incident will re-
ceive official attention tomorrow.
William Walker became the owner of
Tavora by the bidding up process after
her victory, H. r Schaffer letting her
go at $1,000. which was 5000 over her
entered price.
