and Bronco get away in the order named.
Ristine, to begin with, got Of last with
Solitude. She was full of running, though,
and going up to the far turn she passed all
but COnde, who had assumed command of
affairs, clipping along at gait that threat
ened to make deafenlng noise in the next
issue of the Guide.
When Ristine got the mare into second
position he seemed TO be satisfied. Cond
led her a length AID a half into the sire ten,

worst efforts, saw Jack the Ripper out in
