the race. WITH
the possible exception of "Old Sport"
who will make less than 500 miles. 1t
looks now as if the four leaders will roll
up over $50 miles, and the first two will
crowd the 600 mark. Cartwright looks

the track, and promises to pass the 500
mile post. 'Old Sport" maintains his
ability to win all those prizes offered
him from all parts of the country con-
tingent upon his making 500 miles Had
he been in as good condition when he
started as he was yesterday he would
do it. Click has dropped out.
