night will make the track heavy, so that
the rapid trials of the cracks may go for
naught, after ALL The mud horses, or
short striders, will have the best chances,
and Maumee has an excellent chance, with
her light impost, as indicated by her run
ming in the Westchester handicap Thurs

penalty of four pounds. In fact, the ram
has made the race more OF lottery than
ever 1t is estimated that more than a
