By JOE MURPHY

Special Dispatch ID The Call
PLEAsANroN, Aug. 1.-TWO of the
three races on the card today were
declared of owing 10 numerous
scratches. The only original event
was captured by Mrs. Fred Chad
bournes grand PAGER Moortrix. which
has been a consistent winner during
the season The racing afforded little
excitement owing TO the superiority of
the winners. The two specials substi-
tuted resulted in tame contests.
Moortrix. driven by +. Chadbourne.
outspread her field in the 2:l5 pace
and was never pressed, winning the
event in straight heats from Milton
Gear, which took second place with
about the same ease. Chadbourne held
his charge under wraps in the first
and second heats, but in the third trial
let him out and he would have out
distanced the field had not the flag
been waived.
The time IN the second race for 2:13
trotters was slow, and the race was
won in straight heats by w. S. Maben's
entry Ida Alillerton. In the third heat
j. Cuiceno rated Weatewater along
nicely and pressed the winner on the
run down the stretch. but failed to get
up. After Weatewater's splendid show
T ing in this race IL was thought he had
q good chance TO beat the winner, but
failed dismaEy in the last heat and
lost the place to Silver Hunter.
II. =. Armstrong; crack young PAGER,
Demonia Wilkes, which won in the
south, made an excellent showing in
the hnal race. which honors were cap
tured by the Chico entry of J. E. Mont
gomery. Jim Logan, which won in
straight heats. Wilkes pressed the
winner In the last two heats of the
race and for a time he appeared TO
have chance. He broke a few yards
from the wire in the final heat when
he was on even terms with the winner,
which ended his chances. The other
Chico entry in the race. George Wood
ward. made a dismal showing.
There viii be at least four races on
the card tomorrow, and there are few
scratches. All the cracks will start
IN the 2:07 pace. Delega tions of mem
bers OF the San Francisco driving club
are expected to attend the meeting to-
morrow and Saturday. ". J. Kenney,
an official Of the club, is on the ground.

A Closed Incident.

In refusing to approve the proposition to
print 2,OOO,0O0 copies of the speeches In
rebuke of the President on the secret serv-
ice matter, the House has acted with ex-
cellent judgment. Apart from the ques-
ton of cost this enterprise would have
been of extremely doubtful propriety, and
certainly in poor taste. The House is not
on trial. 1t is not even formally sub
iected to an accusation. 1t has with be-
coming dignity declined to receive from
the President all of one communication
and part of another which 1t deems Of
fensive because involving a baseless in
nuendo impugning its motives In the en-
actment of certain legislation. The Presi-
dent has not produced any proof whatever
that the vote to restrict the secret service
to its legal field of operations was in
spired by questionable fears or desires.
The House could not by any means at it's
disposal correct hostile Impressions which
may have been unwarrantedly created by
the exchange of messages and resolutions.
1t has its work to do here. and it is now
proceeding to do ii as though nothing had
happened to disturb it's course. That is
the best way to reassure the country and
to close an incident which, whatever may
be the personal heartburnings and ami
mosities aroused and still continuing, can
not be prolonged to any possible advan-
tage.

The Inaugural Ball.

From the Baltimore American.
That inauguration ball Is the kind that
does not roll smoothly. The peoples rep
resentatives, in solemn session. have de-
cided against the use of the pension
building for the event that regularly oc-
ours on the evening of the 4th of
March of the year when new chief
executive is to be indicted into his high
office Some of the intensely practical
members of Congress, whose ideas Of
balls may be limited to the bibulous va
riety that are advertised with the de-
scriptive "high," frowned upon the event.
declaring 1t to be IAN unnecessary and
uncomfortable exhibition" This is sur
prsing definition of the inaugural ball,
fantastic to the enlivening music Of rag
time will be disposed to cavil. They Will
ask in what sense is 1t an exhibition
They will want to know In what way 1T
is unnecessary or uncomfortable to the
acrid lawmakers, who doubtless would
not know a toe dance If they were to
meet it on the street and would have
a uuadrille arrested for disturbing the
peace. Those who are accustomed TO
be in Washington on the day Of all others
when Boreas hurtles the wind along
PENNSYLVANIA avenue will be inclined to
apply the term uncomfortable to the
inaugural parade and the open-air inau-
gural address. But one would have to be
an iconoclast to call for the suppression
of either of these events. AS to the
ball, may 1T not be blocked In its prog
ress May 1t roll on over all obstruc-
tions to a brilliant and memorable finish
