VERNON LOSES SERIES TO OAKS
BY MORNING DEFEAT AT SUBURBS

HROM far off Victoria, where the
II thoroughbreds are galloping
Il comes word from a former Ange-
leno whose name is well held among
the rear guard of the sport of kings in
this city. Eddie Ryan writes to friends
here saving he has Just arrived on the
British soil direct from the Salt Lake
track. He finds conditions in Victoria
better even than he had anticipated.
The racing there is a decided success,
and the meet is being well ATTENDED,
there in goodly numbers are also seen
the familiar faces of the countrywide
followers of the tracks, and Eddie is
among old friends. He took side trip
to Seattle to look over the exposition
and then returned to Victoria, where
he is now getting busy. Among the
old acquaintanees he found in the
north was ]. b. Woodside, remembered
as a sporting writer on a local aaiIE
last winter. Success of the millionaire
kind is the worst wish his friends send
Ryan.
San Diego breaks loose in the person
of Jimmy Austin, the Los Angeles
splinterweight, who will fight in the
seaside city next month. The following
letter is at hand from Austin;

Good Morning Game

Good Morning Game
That early hour contest in the out
skirts is worthy of a mention, from
the fact that four doubles featured In
the play. Harkins had lot of trouble
with those insistent Oakland plate
workmen, who got thirteen hits off him
in the nine innings. Both teams
played an errorless game, and
this helped some, otherwise from the
amount of rapping given the leather
the time limit might have been reached.
Right here note of Murphy's star
batting is timely. The little Oakland
right fielder advanced to the plate
five times during the morning, and as
many times he landed on the first bag
with a hit to his credit. One of these
was q double. This gave him an
average of 1000 for the morning, which
could hardly be improved upon.
That afternoon score board record
was a joy forever to the bleacherites,

GRAND PRIX WON

TAKES CLASSIC
VANDERBILT HORSES UNPLACED
IN STAKE
Three Hundred Thousand Persons
Gather at Longchamps Course to
See French Colt Win Event
Worth $74,155 in Drive
rBy Associated Press.l

PARIS, June 27.-Baron Maurice de
Rothschilds chestnut colt Verdun, with
Barat up, today won the Grand PriX
de Paris over the Longchamps course
in driving finish with Nine. N, G.
Cheremeteff's Rebelle II, second, and
Edmor Blanch's Union, third. The
value of the stake was $74,155, the dis
tance one mile and seven furlongs.
The classic event was contested over
a sodden track in a drenching rain in
the presence of 100000 persons, among
whom were thousands of Americans
who had come here from England and
all parts of Europe.
w. K. Vanderbilt, who with his bay
colt Northeast won the Grand Prix
last year, was represented by Negofol
and Oversight, the favorites in the bet
ting, with Lord Mickelham's William
", which finished third in the Eng
lish Derby, heavily backed by the
English contingent, as second choice,
and Union, a popular French entry,
third choice. Eleven horses faced the
starter, and when the flag fell William
", closely attended by the Vanderbilt
entries and Union, broke in front and
set a terrific pace.
Winner Gets ovation
William " made the running to the
head of the stretch, where Verdun and
Rebelle, the latteF rank outsider,
came through, finishing in that order,
with Union third, all out under the
whip. Barat, the jockey who piloted
Verdun, was the first French rider to
win the Grand Prix since the inaugu-
ration of Napoleon III and shared in
the ovation given Baron de Rothschild.
1t was the largest betting event in
the history of the French turf, $3S0,500
being wagered in the pari mutuels. The
Americans who backed the Vanderbilt
horses to a man, returned to Paris with
fiattened purses.
Ross Adams Christiana won the Prix
Castries, Mason Carnes Terrapatta
being unplaced.
Herman b. Duryea's Rose Noble,
which has been a frequent winner here,
failed to get a place in the Prix du
Due d'Aosta.
While returning from the races Pres
ident Fallieres was surrounded by a
large number of youthful Royalists,
who attempted a manifestation against
him. The crowds turned on the Roy
alists and belabored them with UNI
brellas. The police finally rescued the
manifestants, who were glad to escape
from the angry crowd. Ten were ar
rested.

soil has been found to join with
the climate in producing that
delicate and profitable distinction
of quality which puts North
Fork" fruit in class just ahead
of Extra Fancy" all by itself.
Colorado fruit has proven itself
supreme in all markets and under
all conditions. Prof. H. S. Van
Deman, pomologist OF the agri-
cultural department at Washing
ton, had visited the valley and re-
ported to the government as fol
lows: "In all my travels | have
not seen a more delightful place
to grow fruit than the North Fork
of the Gunnison river. The fruit
interest here is beginning to over
ride all others, and orchards are
being planted in every direction.
The table lands or mesas are en-
tirely free from alkali properties,
and seem to be the best for fruit.
They are extremely well adapted
to all kinds of deciduous fruits.
The peach, apricot and all decidu-
Gus fruits were bearing profusely."
One of the features that the
people of Hotchkiss are justly
proud of is the large tract of land
devoted to horticultural exhibit
ton and spring race meetings. Its
acreage is more than ample for
race track purposes, fruit display,
band concerts and baseball and
tennis games. A recent innova-
ton was that of converting the
large grove, surrounding the hor-
ticultural hall, into a public park.
Seeded to blue grass and white
clover, and treated to fine tree
planting. it has already taken a
strong hold upon the citizens,
who at their leisure enjoy the
pleasing scenes and features al
ways in vogue Gravel walks

place. In the horticultural build
