DEMONSTRATION AGAINST HOLY FRIAR,
who has Tor some time been favorite for the race.
This was due TO rumor That 'Mr LauDde''-the
Rev. Mr.. King-tne owner OF the horse, and an old
man, was seriously i'll. According to one rumOr
he had fallen and broken his leg, to another that
he had put out his hip JOINT. and TO third that he
is AFFLICTED with govt, which had reached his
stomach. believe this last statement is
nearest the mark. or course II Mr.
King were to die his colt conld not
run for the race ana all bets on him would be on.
Backers did not, under these circumstances like
to invest on Holy Friar and bookmakers felt justl-
fed In increasing the odds against him. At the
same time they were eager TO bet against him
this case the bets would hold good, and they would,
IN the event Of Mr.. King dying, have been wager
ing against really one horse at the price OF two.
