spring bonnet chosen and paid for by
Mrs Thompson. He saw the creation

practiced eye and the manner of an ex-
pert, he scanned the plan out of which
the creation was evolved. He could
find no system in its construction. The
straw walls veered dangerously from
the perpendicular and the roofing
lacked waterproof qualities The whole
effect appeared TO his architectural op-
tics out of being with poetic harmony.

Therefore he waited until Mrs.
Thompson had tenderly deposited the
expensive hat in a bandbox. Then he
got into action. The hat was hauled
from it's resting place. The next mo-
ment it had metamorphosed into a
muchly battered football Propelled by
an irate man with No. shoes, the
topper bounded around the room.

Los ANGELES. Jan. 1.-THE racing
game must be getting in a bad way
when the opening of the afternoon's s
sport has to be postponed to allow
a trainload Of spectators TO reach the
park. That was done today at Santa
Anita, and for 20 minutes the judges held
the first race so that the sports could get
there to lay their cash with the bookies.
One trainload is only small percentage
of the entire attendance, but that locks
as though the racing officials believed
that the extra coin to be derived from,
that trainload outweighed the incon-
venience of the spectators already at
the park.
The track was heavy and the weather
cloudy and there was little to cheer the
sports. The time in all the races was
slow in comparison with the fast work
done heretofore, and there was not a
close finish throughout the day. The
victory of Animus in the fourth race
probably was the most impressive. for
with Basty Agnes leading by three
lengths in the stretch he cut down the
lead In great fashion and won by two
lengths going away.
