TrOtting Saddle Record Is
Cut to 2:lO IL

CLEVELAND. o., Aug. 13.-The first
grand circuit meeting at North Ran
dali came to an end today with one new
record established. Country Jay, rid
den by Ramey Macy, went a mile I'M
der saddle in 2:101a. The best previous
record had been 2:14A, held by Char
ley Mac. The old record was made at
Chenille in 1904
The meeting was an unqualified sue
cess. over $4,000 people attending. The
promoters expected $4,000 and would
have been satisfied with that number
Country jay was ridden in master
full manner and it was due in a great
measure to the handling that the old
trotter was able to so completely shat
ter the record made by Charley Mac
Macy is slender youth who formerly
was one of the foremost jockeys on
the running turf.
Outside of Country JAYS perform
ance San Francisco's trial against the
worlds stallion record of 2:02K. held
by Cresceus. was also noteworthy.
While the son of Zombro failed in his
attempt and did not perform as cred
ltably as he is ca pable of doing, he
trotted mile driven by Ed Geers in
2:04A, thereby reducing his record by
three seconds
The 2:09 trot brought together a good
held of trotters, including the Har-
Vester' FL Victress and five other good
ones. Summaries:

Especial Dispatch TO The Call
PLEASANTON, Aug. 1S.-The best
card of the harness meeting was de-
cided today, and it attracted big
attendance. The horses raced right up
to form and the winners would have
been favorites if betting had been
allowed
A strong effort was made to beat

there was not a horse in the event that
was equal to the task of taking a heat
from him. His defeat of the same
merit and it looks as if this field is
only equal to the task of giving him a
workout.
Delilah, the entry of the Redlands
horseman, George w. Bannell, at times
showed great speed. but the winner
usually carried Delilah off her feet. Jo-
sephine, the Woodlands entry. paced
consistently and took second place.
II. E. Armstrong of Cathlamet,

chased the matinee performer. Kid

form today than he did in the south,

business, winning the 2:2O class trot

possible He went out in front and

manner.
In the final race of the day, the 2:25
pace, Siegfried. owned by Fred Ward
of Los Angeles, was considered a con-
tender for the race, but after a work
out the horse stiffened up and was -ex-
cused from starting. Happy Dentist, en-

twenty with sixty-fve. Yet Jim Las

twenty from marrying a fortune and
giving her penurious family chance
to get on in the world. Then Cheriton
verifies the early estimates of his char

tluence of the Dutch school. He Is,
however, a versatile painter, and alters
his style according to his need. Some
of his pictures are rendered in eX-
ceedingly broad manner. whereas others
are precise in treatment and especially
direct. At times he employs heavy body
color, pilng up his paint, as it were,

he resorts to light washes and permits
the tint of his paper in places to remain
untouched This lends agreeable variety
to Mr.. Overs work, but does not initiate

is distinctly his own, and all of his paint

subjects he has chosen are chiefly land

TT IS not generally known that one of

the design OF the mantel of the state

no less distinction than Alexander Phi

for this work. and the result Is in every
respect satisfactory. The bison head
which he modelled IS from the naturalists'
standpoint correct, but in order that 1t

This Is indeed good news, for without
doubt American builders up to the pres
