that he had. Recorder Kehoe then
held him without bonds for the

was ultimately rendered in deposit

WHAT BIRDS
WERE THESE?

DR.. Henry +. Odell. U. S. ~, and
three duck hunting companions were
the observers Of a phenomenal bird
flight a week ago
The party we're in blinds on the
upper end of the Cross ranch, near
Sonoma creek.
About a half hour before sunset
they noticed an immense fight Of
birds coming on high overhead, a half
mile it seemed, from the Petaluma
hills country The fight had the ap-
pearance Of a cloud; watching, how
ever, showed that it was flying birds,
The flock, it was estimated, was at
least a mile and a half long and took
about five minutes from the time of
first observance to get right overhead
When in the air right over the aston
ished gunners individual birds could
be distinguished, but too far away to
determine what variety they were.
The V formation, as with ducks or
geese, was lacking, the unknown
flight simply went along on the aerial
path in a big bunch off in the direc-
ton of the Sacramento valley, The

WAS A SEASON OF WRECKED HOPES

This season will go down in history
of light harness racing marked
wrecked hopes" From one cause or
another, more noted trotters and pac-
ers have gone wrong than in any pre-
vious year. Many were so lame that
it was little short of cruelty to race
them. 1t is the same thing every sea-
son, but never did it reach the proper
lions of this year.
The touted good ones began disap-
pearing from view almost before the
tapping of the bell at indianapolis in
early June, and since then many otn-
ers which were looked to as being
able to win all sorts of money in any
sort of company have fallen by the
wayside.
First, there was a Joe Patchen II
hailed as almost sure of making a
clean sweep of the pacing stakes foI
which he had been so extensively Ell
tered. But Joe didn't get to the races
at all, although now better things are
hoped for him next season.
Then came the trouble with Lady
Green Goods, the spring favorite for
the NJ. and NJ. trotting stakes. Her
mile in Kentucky in 2:OS% showed
she had the speed, but she, too, went
wrong, filling only a few OF the en-,
gagements upon which payments had
been made, and still possesses only
the 2:3O mark that she made as a
yearling.
Nor are these TWO stake horses, ad.
mittedly the best among the trotters

Not in years have the futurity colts,
