faith IN the powerful bay colt Protection, by Prince

Protection Is not The best woycar-old in America
FL Rio Rey IS surely his superior. and
there arc other youngsters that will probably hold
him safe on dry track But he won Ike race
hors~ and what fine prize in the lottery Of the turf
he gained for his negro OwDer-a prize Of nearly
$4,000. Campbell probably never had $4,000 OF
