BY Associated Press.
SANTA ROSA, July 30-The main
event on today's card of the Breeders
meeting was the 2:15 pace with nine
entries. E. H. Dudley's McFayden, by
Diabolo, dam by Sterling, sold a heavy
favorite, with S. II. Hoy's Memonia,
by Demonia, second choice.
L. L. Payton's Silver Dick took the
first heat and McFayden got the dis
tance flag.
The next three heats and the race
went to McGowan's Queen Derby, who
had been listed with the field, thcdgh
recognized as among the likely ones.
This afternoons program was en-
liVened by a fire scare in the grand
stand. A careless smoker dropped
Cirgarette under a seat and before it
was noticed the floor was in flames.
A syphon bottle extinguished the fire,
but not until the rush had begun for
the exit, which, for the moment, threat
ened to result seriously.
The Pacific coast record was broken
when Mono Wilkes went a mile in
2:03 ga in a whirlwind pace against
Sir John S at yesterdays meeting.
Today a new worlds record was es-
tablished when Frank j. Kirkpatrick,
the owner of Washington Mckinley,
drove eight of the get of that sire to
put them on the 2:30 list, and sue
ceeded easily and followed the per-
Torrance by reducing the record pre-
Viously held by Belle Mckinney. an
other of Washington McKinneys get,
from 2:29 to 2:22. On numerous oc-
casions attempts of this character have
been made before, but todays exhibit
ton eclipsed anything of the kind ever
known. Eight sons and daughters of
one sire put on the standard list in one
day, the owner drying, and a ninth
lowering her previous record by several
seconds, is a record. Following is a
