Some inferior quality offerings

occurred in common quality leaf

The quality of offerings showed
slightly more fair and low leaf

Accused Of Collision,
Meade Makes Application
For License In Florida

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 21.-tR-Don
Meade said today he would file
application this spring for jock
ey's license, and was hopeful that
one would be granted.
The jockey club of New York
refused to give Meade a riding
license last year, and the New
York State Racing commission up
held the action. Meade was ac-
cused of collision by asking an
other jockey to block off the field
in order that Meade's mount could
win. The horses were running as
an entry.
Meade, who won Kentucky
Derby astride Brokers Tip, report
ed that he weighed ia pounds and
was in condition to begin riding
again at any time. He has kept in
trim by galloping horses in morn
