was bred at Hamburg Place in Ken
lucky by John E. Madden, one of the
great breeders in America, and sold by
him to Hildreth last summer. The colt
is named for one of the sons of Mad
den After the race Hildreth wired his
congratulations to Madden and also
telegraphed his friend Billy Pinkerton
in Chicago of the good fortune of the
classy colt.
Monte Preston, the crack jockey who
was suspended at the close of last
season for one year, has been restored
to good standing by order of the Pa
cific Jockey club, according to official
notification received by the Santa Anita
officials yesterday. Monte is a bit high
in flesh right now, but can be trained
down to his usual easy weight of 100
pounds trackside without any great
difficulty. He will ride under contract
horses owned by himself and j. f.
Newman at Santa Anita.
Frank Farrell, baseball magnate,
business man and sportsman of New
York was at Santa Anita yesterday
afternoon for a visit to inspect the
scenic beauty of the plant and see some
of the record breaking performances
for which Santa Anita has become
famous.
Andy Blakely has shipped his horses
and those in. his charge belonging to
Sam Emery back to Emeryville, where
they will finish out the season.
Ed German, for fifteen years In
charge of Lucky Baldwin's breeding
establishment at Puente, died Friday
night.
Jeems Morley will be on duty again
this afternoon at the Ship hotel at
Venice His duties consist chiefly in
extending the glad hand to his friends
and seeing that they enjoy their visit
to his popular resort by the sea. The
ship is most popular with racing folk,
tourists and citizens who delight in
eating and drinking to the music fur
nished by the sad sea waves and pro-
fessional entertainers. Seibret and
Newton are doing the entertaining
stunt at the ship, and are big card,
as usual.
w. NJ. Murray, promoter of race
meetings, including those at Salt Lake
and Ell Paso as well as many others
in the west, left for Salt Lake City
last night to look into the prospects
for holding a summer meeting in the
Mormon capital. He said that car

day from Santa Anita to Albuquerque,
where a thirty-day meeting will be
held. Another carload win be shipped
Wednesday, and it is expected that
others will follow before the meeting
begins.
Footpad is not as foolish as his con-
duet yesterday seemed to indicate
when he started to run away. He
dashed madly from the fve-eighths
pole to the judges stand and halted
suddenly as he jumped into the circle
reserved for winners. He knew he
ought to win some time, and thought
he belonged there. The crowds cheered
him for his good sense"

previously unaccountable poor run
ming. A sand crack has been discov-
cred, and he probably will be unable
to start again this season. Many
blamed Jockey Callahan for the fail
ure of Canardo to win but Sterling
says that the injury explains 1t all,
and he offers the record of more than
dozen winning races at Butte and
| elsewhere last summer as proof that
| the Canardo-Callahan combination
would not have been a bad one to
string with had Carnado been able to
run to his real form.
Baseball cranks will have the oppor-
tunity this morning of breaking into
the habit of rising early enough Sun
day mornings to patronize the double
baseball bill that will be an every Sun
day attraction in Los Angeles after
the Coast league season opens, as the
White Sox and Angels will go out to
Southside park and play one of the
two games scheduled between them for
today. The game at Vernon will start
at 10 o'clock and should be finished in
time for all to get back down town
before noon. When the Coast league
season opene the team that is filling
the at-home engagement will play q
double header every Sunday. The
morning game will be played at YER
played at the Chutes. 1t is time to get
in practice for these morning games,
and as the White SoX and Angels are
putting up a stiff article of baseball
in their training series, the fans will
be we'll rewarded for the early morn
ing awakening.
The stake feature of this week will
be the Norfolk handicap at four miles
to be run Saturday afternoon at Santa
Anita 1t carries an added money
value of $4,000 and closed with seventy
nominations. A silver cup also goes
to the winning owner. The gross value
is estimated at $4,000, of which sum the
winner will earn all but $500. Weights
will be due tomorrow afternoon. Among
the probable starters will be Animus,
Beauclere, First Peep, Gar, Red
gauntlet, Montgomery, King James.
Milford, Nadzu; Big Bow and Maltbie.
Only two handicaps of the overnight
variety are on the card for this week.

one mile for Wednesday, and the Ven

The news that Texas has Joined the
ranks of the anti-racing states came
as quite a big surprise to horsemen
from that state and elsewhere. 1t con-
fidently was predicted that the anti
racing bill would not pass because of
the opposition of those interested in
the success of the great state fair that
annually is held at Dallas; but the OPP

 There Is day or two more for us to get accustomed to the blessedness of the lifted shadow.
 Then comes an hour when we find that things do matter, after all. Our friend is a ,convalescent, alas! well night uncomfortable.

 It may be hard for her to realize when work is billing up, and perhaps, bills likewise, that speed is not strength. Time was never gained by ioverdoing. Each forgetting of this

 Sometimes the convalescent suffers
 less from overdoing than from under l NDAH8s sAL tAGEct Uc uO rodSth AVE HPc- cial, 1t Is all too easy to sink into a

 Again, the scared friends feel that

AMERICA AS PEACE MAKER. Former Minister writes of Future In
 Eur0ne

Paris, Dec. 1S-Former Minister of Foreign Affairs Gabriel Hanotaux, in an article appealing for public sup port of the recently organized Franco American committee, designed to im- prove the economic and social rela- tions of the two countries. and of which he is president. predicts that the United States. which now holds the balance of power in the Pacific, is destined some day to intervene in the quarrels of the great nations of Europe.
 NJ Hanotaux in part says:
 Every clairvoyant European states man now foresees the probability of American imperialistic action. 1t is the constant pre-oocupation of En- peror William"
 The former minister. argues that Frances position in Europe is anala- gous to that of America and that 1t Is virtually necessary that there should be no possibility of mis- understanding in the future, recall ing that during his own ministry, at the time of the Spanish American war, France was driven almost to a rupture over an insignificant block ade incident. The writer thinks that from material standpoint, the French foreign investor must look toward America for the richest re- turns of the future.
