fav0rite.
The weather frightened up somewhat
after noon and the rain held of, c0nse-
quently the spectators had an enjoyable
time. The talent succeeded In picking
three winners out Of the five events and
thus landed good winners on the day.
Patricia and NIpper ruled favorites for
the opening dash of eleven-sixteenths of
