would be worth going many mile to
see. The horses were sent away without
much treble and on very even telms

front and together at the quarter, Early

up, and rounding the turn they were all
punched again, Lottie in the front and
Scot in the rear Coming into the stretch

and passed Lottie at the seven-eighths

almost dead heat, Early having the best
Ot 1t by about four inches of nose in the
fast time of 1:42. Royal Flush finished
third.
