ADVERTISEMENTS, To be tired out from hard work exercise is natural and rest is the remedy, but there is an exhaustion without physical exer- tion end a tired, never-rested feeling—a weari- ness without work that is unnatural and shows some serious disorder is threatening the health. On that “‘Always-tired, never-rested condition’’ is impure blood and bad circu- is nourished with rich, pure blood there is lack of For over four years I suffered with lation. Unless the body nervous force, the mus- or bodily e of the chief causes of | makers thought the same way. For that reason the ring laid 1 to 3 against the Morris stable and 2% to 1 against the field, The distance was five furlongs and Pre- cious’ Stone had in his previous winning essays shown an inclination to go a route. The race would indicate that Green Mor- ris has underrated the two-year-olds rac- ing here or elge has indulged his two pet youngsters. After seven minutes' delay at the post, Dick Dwyer sent the eight | youngsters away to a pretty start. Soon the Morris duo showed in front. Three furlongs from the stand Precious Stone began his old trick of running out and Daly, on Rapid Water, pulled up to avold being carried to the outer rail. Birsen- ruth, astride H. L. Frank, did not meet with the same success and was almost rushed to the apex of Shell Mound by the erratic colt, on which *“Hand-riding" Kelly seemed all at sea. 1feantime Wa- terbury squeezed through the bunch after none too pleacant a tour with Rowena, the Burns & Waterhouse entry, and in a hard drive at the close beat Rapid Water less than a length in s:04. TRACK IS HEAVY. Of course, the condition of the track was accountable for much of the crowd- ing and jostling, for it was heavy and fair in spots, freckled «s a country schoolboy's face. Celebrant, from the stable of Walter Jennings, ran third. Lib- bie Candid was well supported, and it must be confessed had a most tempestu- ous trip, The winner is a well muscled brown filly by Altamax-Picnic, bred by the firm in whose name she raced. Her excellent condition reflects much credit upon Tralner Dan Stone. The race was worth $2300 to the first horse. Rowena opened a 6 to 1 chance in the betting and 11 to 1 could be had around post time. With Precious Stone out of the way it is more than likely Rapid Water could have scored, for when Johnny Daly pulled the latter up to escape belng carried out he must have lost at least three lengths. Favorites did not fare w.ll at any stage of the game, Lansdowne being the only choice to be encased.in brackets. There appears to be no slacking up in the betting, for the bookmakers did a land office business. It looked as if Lansdowne ought to cap- ture the introductory six and a half fur- long eprint, and the Fitzgerald entry went to the post a 3 to 2 favorite. Johnny Daly had the little bay horse in front soon after the start and he won easily from Flamero and Dotterel. cles become weak, the di- canoing ot Dily: | Gliseando, backed from 6 to 1 down to gestion impaired, and gousin, who been “'W'. me |18 to 5, was a pronounced tip for the eneral disorder occurs Sooutit.

There looks to be no chance for the reinstatement of Minder after the show- ing made by Matt Hogan in the six fur- long sprint, next decided. Billy Magrane's gelding, while tossed in with a cluster of fast ones, held his own from the start and won in a mild gallop. Mimo in a drive led Ned Dennis out for the place.

Konlc died away to nothing after running half a mile. Bonner, on Sam Fullen, one of the six starters for the closing mile and fifty vard run, rode the best race of his ca- réer. Alec Forbes' horse was played down in the betting from 7 to 413, and when it seemed Ben Macdhul would roll in Bonner, on Sam Fullen, still perse- vered. Making his final drive at the right time, the colored boy got his mount up in time to beat Macdhul a neck on the wire. Dunblane was third. NOTES OF THE TRACK. M. J.

The great combination of California oil | companies, known as the Associated Oil | Company, received favorable reports | at its first annual meeting. This | is the ' company which was capi- talized at $40,000,000 and took in the following named companies and prop- | erties: Reed Crude Oil, Green-Whittier | Oll, Canfield, Kern, San Joaquin Oil and | Development, Aztec Oil, Toltec, Alva, | Kansas City, Monetta, Omar, Bear Flag, | | Section Five, Hecla, Hanford-Fresno- | Kern 0Oil, 8ycamore, Vernon, Wolverine, | | Central Point Consolidated, Senator, Bo- | |ilena, Queen Esther, Cortez, Red Bank, |'Comet, Clarence, Richmond, Chicago | Crude, Missouri, Blinn, Mount Diablo Oil Mining and Development and the prop- | erties of John A.

Parker et ala Tulare | Oil and Mining Company, Standard Asphalt lease, Del Monte lease and more than two-thirds of the capital stock of | the Union Land and Oil Company of Georgia, all in the McKittrick district. | | The company bhas also acquired the Bunt- | | ing machine shop in the Kern River dis- | trict, the tankage of Clanslor & Can- fleld along the Santa Fe Railroad and the capital stock of the Bakersfield lrun{ Works at Bakersfield. The principal interest connected with the first annual meeting is the showing made, for the company has been dis- cussed in lively fashion ever since it ac- tually began business. One of the prin- cipal statements made fn the annual re- port was that the company has, during the past year, produced and sold 2,645,456 | barrels of oil, for which it received the | gross sum of $1,5i2,425 64. This amounts | to a doubling of the production and sale of ofl, so that on January 1, 193, accord- ing to the official showing the.sales aver- aged 300,000 barrels per month. The properties that were acquired by the company were paid for by the issue of 18,422,117 shares of the capital stock of the Associated Oil Company at par and $1,536,170 of first mortgage bonds. The transportation charges paid to the rail- roads amounted to $754,985 29, leaving a gross income to the company of $817,- 440 3. To. companies owning contracts for the sale of ofl at the time they trans- ferred their property to the Associated Ofl Company there have been pald rebates amounting to $220,643 34. The company is also shown to have ex- pended in the first year of its existence for the purchase of real and personal property, including the purchase of a large part of the McKittrick field for cash, for the construction of pipe lines, the building of tanks, the purchase of cars, the establishment of tankage and distributing plants at various points and the construction of barges for moving oil about San Francisco Bay the sum of $761,164 45. J. A. Chanslor was elected president; ‘William O. Kerckhoff and W. A. Jacobs, vice presidents; W. 8. Porter, general manager, and C. Scribner, secretary, More than 60 per cent of the entire is. sued stock of the company 1s reported officially to be owned by the present di- rectorate of the company. _— FLAMING MASSES BURST INTO A RAIN OF FIRE Mount Vesuvius Affords a Magnifi- cent View to Spectators at Night.
