on a special train early today.
Mr.. Fitzgerald will enter his new
horses in the salt Lake meeting. at the
close Of which. he says, he will ship
them to his ranch at MOapa. where he
has already commenced the breeding Of

Lake meet he viii run with such horses
as Booger Red, GIorie, Blagg and Sew

made at Ogden, Balreed was also a

good bet across the board, and occs-
sionalE brought home first money. She
/ is brown mare, sired by BalgOwan out
of Lillian Reed. Billy Bowlegs and Pa

others are a fast bunch Of Youngsters.
Just to start the bail rolling, Mr..
Fitzgerald yesterday offered to bet J.
n. BrannOn, the owner of Booger Red,
$1,000 that Platoon would beat Booger
Red in match race to be held this
forenoon at 9 O'Clock. Finally each own
er placed $500 in the hands of Presi-
dent John COndrOn of the Utah Jockey
club, a bet on d race to be run this
forenoon at weights to be fixed by
Judge POmerOy. Late last night Pres
ident COndron admitted that such a
race was planned and that he was the
stakeholder. He said, however, that the
time for holding the race had not been
fixed and that it probably would not be
held this forenoon. Both Mr.. Brannon
and Mr.. Fitzgerald declined to discuss
the match race and intimated that if
it were held it would be done privately.
Platoon and the others in the string
purchased by Mr.. Fitzgerald will ar
rive in Salt Lake early today, and those
who profess to know say that the match
race Will be run shortly after the ar
rival of the special train.
Mr.. Fitzgerald yesterday afternoon
registered his colors. They are maroon
and white with white can. He said
last evening that he had not vet select
ed jockey. 1t is probable that either
Jockey Kent or Jockey Peak win wear
the Fitzgerald colors. The colors will
appear on the track late this week.
when several races which are to Pla.-
toons liking will be run. The rivalry
between BoOger Reds owner and Pla-
tOOus owner is so keen that a second
match race between BOOger Red and
Platoon, to be run Saturday morning,
at $1,000 a side. has already been
planned, without reference to the result
of the first match race.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, June 9.-WHEAT-The bullish
effects of yesterdays government report
was offset today by reports of rain in
Argentina and Germany, and as result
the wheat market early In the session was
barely steady. There was a fair demand
of stocks in store, the worlds stocks being
reported the smallest on record for the
season of the year. Owing to this demand
the July option displayed more relative
f1rn1neSS than the more deferred futures.
Prices at the opening were unchanged to

After selling at $l.1S$4 July advanced to

The market was nervous all day, but
the undertone was one of weakness. The
top price for July was 81. 1919. The close
was fairly steady with July off 1sQ14c at

CORN-The corn market was firm at
the start owing to continued wet weather
in the corn belt but prices eased off a

July opened unchanged to Nc higher at

The market became strong toward mid

July advanced to 73c. The close was

Where the Next Meeting of the
Shriners Will Be Held

Louisville. Ky. June 9.-Nobles of the
Mystic Shrine today will vote on the
question of where the next meeting
shall be held. New Orleans has been
making campaign against Toledo, O.,
and Richmond, Va, to entertain the
Mobiles in 1910 and the fight being
made against giving the session to the
men of Jerusalem temple pivots upon
the question of weather. Nevertheless,
Potentate Gus Levy and his New Or

of total eclipses for thousands of
years. For the latter records of very
early dates we owe much to the Chi
neSe chronology.
Unfortunately for us poor mortals,
the interesting phenomena noted
above occur in such high ATTITUDES
that here we will not see either the
annular or total phase of the eclipse.
The central line of totality com
mences southeast of Tornsk in Siber-
ian Russia, travels eastward and
crosses only few miles south of the
north pole of the earth and skirts the
east coast of Greenland, where total
ity ends near sunset.
The eclipse as a partial phase OF
greater or lesser magnitude sweeps
over the larger part of the North
American continent, decreasing in size
as it passes down through Canada and
the United States.
At sunset on the 18th of June we
will see the eclipse about as shown IN
figure 2. Figure 1 shows it as the sun
sets at the southern limit of Georgia
The other figure is an attempt to snow
the eclipse in it's annular phase.
There is, however, all the difference
Imaginable between an annular and
a total eclipse, for as long as there is
the slightest ring of sunlight left the
magnificent corona and gaseous
prominences, extending at times to
more than 100, 900 miles from the So
lar surface, are all h1dden from view
But at the moment when totality oc-
ours the corona and prominences burst
forth in all their beauty-one of the
most awe-inspiring sights ever wit
messed by human eye; indeed, when
the weird shadow of the moon passes
over the belt of totality, one feels as
if some dread calamity is about to
happen and no wonder that to the an
clients, indeed, to the uncivilized ma
lions of the earth today total eclipse
of the sun was and is portent of
evil, of death and destruction
But to the astronomer it is most
glorious phenomenon which has
opened up to him many new and
beautiful revelations in the life his
tory of our great luminary-revela-
lions which are so closely, so intima-
teIy associated with the jewellers on
this old round world Raphael said
in the long ago:
Heaven Is for thee too high
To know what passes there. Be 1owly wise
Think only what concerns thee and thy
being,
Dream not of other worlds. what creatures
there.
But this doctrine. beautiful as poet
ry, stays not the mind of the astron-
omer, who, with his great optic tube,
is ever searching to learn what means
that grander poetry, God said, let
there be light and there was light.
