LADIES' NIGHT
ENJOYABLE AFFAIR
At ELKS' HALL
ANTLERI1D HERD ENTERTAIN
THE FAIR SEX LAST
EVENING

I'VE love our husbands, but oh
you EIks," was the salutation that
should have adorned the walls of
the Elks' hail last night, when this
body entertained the fair sex of To-
nopah at the dedication ceremonies
of the new quarters occupied by the
local lodge, No. 1862 Ferns and
chrysanthemums in profusion decor
ated the walls of the spacious lodge
room in as pretty a display as was
ever witnessed in Tonopah. Con-
spicuously intermingIed with the
floral decorations were the colors
of the order, purple and white.
Sheriff J. ]. Owens, who presided
over the meeting as acting exalted
ruler, delivered the address of well
come in a manner that made the
visitors feel right at home. This
was followed by c. H. Mcintosh,
who presided over the dedicatory
ceremonies and who made a speech
which was very appropriate for the
occasion and which received mer-
tied applause.
A feature of the evening was the
address on "Elkdom, by ]. ]. Ow-
ems, who dwelt at length on the
charities and benefits derived from
the order. The history of the or
der was also related. This was
one of the most masterful speeches
ever delivered by the popular offic'
ial, and he was deserving of the
plaudits that responded at the con
clusion of the address.
Other items on the program in
cluded Juvenile selections by Mar
gerry Evans; story stunts, by A. w
Briggs; solo, by Walter Dow; voca
solo, Mrs. P. E. Keller; recitation

Misses Robb; any old thing in thu
song line, Tracy McDermott.
AS the chimes announced tina
the hour of II had arrived tn
lights were extinguished and out o
the semi-darkness came the toas
ITO the absent brothers" as rem
dered by George B. Thatcher an
echoed by the members of the lodge
who gathered in the center of tn
room. Hands were Joined and a
! the completion of the toast, all PAL
ticipated in singing "Auld Ian
Syne."
And then-the big feed. TIL
banquet room was crowded by tn
merry bunch and with the choic
array of palatable connections a
was presented to the visitors, Their
was nothing to it but eat. The Elk
also showed some class along thi
self-same line but not until the Wis
itors were looked after.
Dancing was the next stunt o
the official program and soon tn
floor of the hall was filled with
half hundred couples. This pa!
time was kept up until late houl
The handsome gowns of the wome
were an attraction in themselve
only to be eclipsed by the beauty {
the wearers. AS to the men-wh
ever heard of society reporte
giving space to the attire and al
pearance of the male sex at fun
ton of this kind?
The night was a success in ever
way imaginable and no sma
amount of credit is due the con
mittee which had charge of the a
fair, for the manner in which tt
comfort and pleasure of the visitor
was carefully hooked after. 1t
needless to say that the next fun
ton of the Elks will be looked TO
ward to with added interest.

Duck hunters are planning a gen

ROBINSON TO COACH
SAINTS TRACK MEN
Crack Athlete Enters Grand Avenue
Institution and Assumes Charge
of Squad-Weak Points to
Be Corrected at Once

Ed Robinson, who captained Poly
technicss track team last year, has
entered st. Vincent's college and will
be seen in a Saints uniform this sea-
son. Robinson is one of the best
known track athletes in Southern Cali
fornia, having starred with Poly's
team several years as a short distance
man and a hurdler. In the high hur-
dies, which is his best event, Robin
son IS in a class by himself in South
ern California athletics, having equaled
the worlds record in this event last
year at the interscholastic track and
field meet, which was held at Harvard
school, making the distance in the re-
markable time of Is 1-5 seconds.
One of the weak points of the st.
Vincent track squad was in the hurd-
ling department, but this weakness
will be done away with now that
Robinson is on hand to take care of
these events.
has conferred with the managers of
Polytechnic and Los Angeles high
schools and meets with both institu-
lions have been assured him. The
date Of the L. A. high meet has not
been set, but the contest with Poly
will be held either on February 13 or
20.
The Saints track team will be
coached by Walter HempeI, who has
had charge of the football situation
at the Grand avenue college for two
years. While at Pomona college, in
1904, Hempel turned out one Of the
fastest squads ever developed in the
south, and as there is plenty of good
material at st. Vincent this year. he
should have no difficulty in turning
out championship team.

they arrived from Washington and the
series of accidents that have befallen
them was increased yesterday when
Lady Hubbard, the best juvenile in
his string and his chief stake de-
pendence in the 2-year-old events of
the winter season, pulled up lame after
the morning workout. The yearling
that was thought to be hopelessly in
Jured recently is recovering and in
stead Of being a candidate for leading
honors at a funeral, it now seems to
be rounding to so we'll that hopes Of
complete recovery are entertained.
Barney Schrieber lost another baby
racer yesterday, which died Of pneu-
monia. The youngster was full
brother to Deutschland, being by Sain-
Derfargilla, and was an eligible to the
Colin stakes. 1t never had been named
and had been sick for so long that
hope Of recovery had fed long before
death occurred.
Herman Brandt says that the report
to the effect that Jack Atkin is to be
shipped to Oakland is all news to
him, as he has received no such in
structions from Schrieber. Jack At
kin is eligible to the Follansbee handi-
cap, which will be run Saturday. but
Brandt does not expect to ship the
great horse north.
Declarations from the Speed and
California handicaps that were due

game yet awhile. Gregora kept on his
way, however, half jumped and half
fell over the fence, got up and con-
tinued on a dead run for his stall. He
was captured and returned to the post,
but did not show anything in the speed
line.
Lucky Baldwin was in his box dur
ing the races yesterday, it being his
first day at the races in several weeks.
He sat there while the baby race was
being run and noted with pleasure that
his gelding won under mastery ride
by Booker. 1t seemed for a time that
the judges might mar the happiness of
the builder of Santa Anita by diSquali-
flying the gelding, as Don Franco and
A. ]. Small bumped each other repeat
eddy through the stretch, but as the
race probably was truly run and the
best horse won, the judges made the
first call of the finish the official YER
dict. Baldwin received many sincere
congratulations upon his temperance
and recovery from the serious illness
that threatened his life for a time, and
it was a happy day for him.
Phil Chinn and Jimmy Cassidy, his
business representative, had a profit
able and highly pleasing day at the
races. They sent Louis Streuber to the
post at Emeryville and bet a chunk on
him, and he brought it home. Then
they stayed off A. ]. Small on account
of the short price and saved money.
Then they got aboard Pretension and
again cleaned up. 1t is about time that
Phil was cleaning up, as his horses
have been slow in rounding to form.
Pop Willard unlocked the old trunk
Saturday and changed his new brown
suit for his black suit, the latter being
his selling war togs. Then he an
nounced that he was weary of chasing
horses that were placed in company too
cheap for them, and then he went over
to Santa Anita and grabbed a pair OF
useful ones-Harcourt and Jane Swift.
Dad says the field is open and there
will be no hard feelings any time other
horsemen feel in a retaliatory mood,
but he insists that if some horsemen
want to run good horses in cheap races
they must take the risk. He has in
creased the strength Of his stable most
materially by the addition of this good
pair.
Five other horses Of the Hildreth
string that have been at Oakland ar
arrived yesterday. They were Mont
gomery, Tony Faust, Schleswig, Vibrate
and Force. Hildreth still has ten or
twelve horses at Emeryville, but all his
good ones now are at Santa Anita, and
it is probable that the others will be
sold off. Gowan also was shipped back
to Santa Anita in the same car with the
Hildreth horses.

poor luck with his youngsters since

CRACK JOCKEY SHOWS TO HIS
BEST FORM
Captain Kennedy, Which Carried Bar
rier and Won Saturday, Repeats
with Starters Whip SWING
ing from His Tail

OAKLAND, Jan. 4.-Captain Kenne-
dy again showed himself to be a clever
performer at Emeryville today when
he practically led all the way in the
fourth race and won driving from Joe
Rose. The feature of his victory was
that he ran with the whip of an as
sistant starter attached to his tail, 1t
having been caught when the field
broke. When the horse won Saturday
he carried the barrier away with him.
There were several close finishes
during the afternoon over the muddy
track. Coppertown, son of kenll-
worth, and quoted at as good as 20 to

MEN FROM SPORTS

At meeting yesterday Of the ath-
letic committee Of st. Vincent's col
lege, which was composed of Fathers
Martin, Campbell, Leffert and Assist
ant Coach Moores, two students were
barred from taking part in athletics.
One is Sam Lafferty, formerly of Poly
technic high school, who is under sus-
pension by the Southern California
branch of the A. "A. u. for alleged pro
fessionalism, in taking part in Sunday
baseball games where it is said he
played against professional players,
which is a direct violation Of the rules
of this organization.
Carubin. third baseman Of last
years squad, is the other student
barred. He is said to have taken part
in games in which professionals par
ticipated
Coach Moores said yesterday that at
next Wednesdays meeting Of the "A.
A. u. he would enter a basketball
team in the Mems Southern California
Basketball league.
Catcher ''Pinkey' Grindle, who made
a name for himself in college circles as
backstop, will leave shortly for
Brawley, where he will play with that
aggregation in the Imperial league

OCKEY ALVIN BOOKER was ac-
corded fine reception by the big
crowd of regulars at Santa Anita
when he celebrated his return to the
saddle by winning with Don Franco
he received was a greeting to him and
at the same time an expression of ap-
probation of his old-time mastery eff
fort in putting over his mount a win
ner in a hard driving finish. Alvin al
ways was a popular rider and the reg
ulars had not forgotten how he used
to boot them home over at Ascot in
seasons gone by. Like a fighter, how
ever, a jockey is expected to lose his
form, prestige and knowledge OF the
game when he takes such a long yaca-
ton from the saddle. He proved that
he is still the same old alert post boy,
the same expert judge of pace and the
same crackerjack in a gruelling finish
that he was when in his prime a few
years ago. Alvin signed up to ride for
Lucky Baldwin throughout the win
ter season on the coast for a good sal
airy, and the usual fees for winning and
losing mounts, and as the contract Of
fered him was too good to pass up, he
very naturally accepted. He can do
los pounds with ease, and since he has
cunning by reason of his long layof
there is no reason why he should not
take his old place at once as one of
the real stars of the saddle.
"Commencer' Dwyer made his sea-
son debut at Santa Anita yesterday,
but had a difficult time getting to the
post in time to send the ponies away
on time owing to the insistence Of his
big army Of friends in congratulating
him and themselves upon his return.
Dick certainly is the original popular
kid, good-natured, even-tempered, an
expert at his business and highly es-
teemed by everybody who knows him.
If he has an enemy in all the world no
body yet has found him out Dwyer
sometimes is criticised for his easy
going, forbearing disposition and for
his humane treatment Of the jockeys
who ride under him, but it certainly
must be pleasing for him to reflect
upon the friendships Of these boys and
him out of sheer friendship and good
will than they will do for any other
starter on earth. He got away to a
good start with six fine efforts and
everybody seemed delighted that he is
back
Gregora, one of the baby racers that
went to the post in the second race,
did not like the looks of things and
bolted and ran away. He refused to
stay on the track and dashed down the
seven-eighths chute. When he did not
slacken his speed as he approached the
six-foot fence Jockey Page very wisely
slid off, refusing to try the steeplechase
