of the horse almost that brought Henry

to come like the wind. When near the

The crowds betting blood was up.
and this race w3s we'll played, too. Dart
| closed favorite, slightly outbetting Rev
enne. The notable popularity of the
betting was i'll the play on Orphan,
owned by Dan HONG. The books
| opened at - to l on him, and while
money was going in on Dart. Revenue
naturally went down 80 10 l, and even
10 to l, on one or two boards. All of
sudden the odds commenced to go up,
and it was s to l, then q to l, and finally
4 20 l within few minutes. Those who
| judge the horses by their backing had,
! Of course, cOnJectured that the owners
money had been put up on Orphan, and
took this as an Indication that ne was
sure TO win. The fact that Mosby was
the mount helped out this theory, ana
for while everybody seemed to be
| playing Orphan, and straight at that.
Although Orphan has done nothing at
this meeting he has good performances to
his credit elsewhere and it was very
tempting flyer 10 play him. Poor Or
phan, however, Was not heard from
during the race. 1t is said that he be-
gan 10 bleed, and that MoSby had to
pull him up OH the turn. At any rate,
lie only finished fourth and the race
was won by Dart, Revenue second and
Contest third, in the order of the bet
ting. Tea Set came fifth. c N g. vino

the race, improving on bad start until
