Of course Lovdal was in receipt of a
seven-pound allowance from the Corrigan
horse. but he ga We him much more than a
seven-pound beating. AT equal weights
Lovdal can, without doubt, beat Senator
Irby at any kind of race over mile. and
be will IN doubtedly prove such to be the
case before the N Getting is over.
The victory of Motor in the last race
was rather an expensive one for Owner

terdsy, carrying more weight, he turned
the ia bles on them, and as he went to the
post at good price heavily backed, it proved
a costly victor for the bookmakers, so
they decided to make it also costly one
for Owner Legg.
That clever boy, Jerry ChorD, was in
good form yesterda riding TWO winners
and a secon horse.
Ed Sachs helped himself to some of the
bookmakers' mo ney in the FIRST race with
his horse Red Bird, who seems to have

Jake johnson had his mudplates sharp

He was decided favOrite, going to the

Jake jumped out 10 front as the flag fell,

By this accident Senator Irby, who had
been houndeTing hopelessly 10 the rear
