and heavy wind caused the pools to sell
against the mare very strongly and II was
not thought that she could accomplish
tho task. While she was warming up, how.
ever. the rain ceased and the wind Quieteli
so when she started she had nothing but q
heavy track against her. She had q
saddle horse for pace.Inaker aud made

made in IS and tho mare
flew down the back stretch
reaching tho half IN l:07. The three
quarters were made In | ~ aud the mile

performance. and the gallant Bozeman
