the conclusion that Sallie McClelland

never been raced he might still enjoy a
wonderful reputation on paper.

colors was in the Siren stakes at Sleeps
head Bay, for which she was an odds-or
favorite. She was leading in the home
stretch, when she struck herself an6
fell back, and Tulla Blackburn went or
and won. The filly's injury is not con
sidered serious.
G. w. Cook, Ed Corrigan's fast sprint
err, proved an expensive disappointment
to the Western plungers on his debut q

UP on him until ne became an odds"oI
favorite. Joe Ullman went on from
Chicago to back him, and is said to hav,
placed SIS. 900 in the ring, and this yer,
naturally attracted the crowd, and the,
followed his lead. The horse looked
we'll and had been sent to the post b,
that astute horseman, Green b. Morris
but he was never dangerous in any par
of the race.
