foreign book at the island track takes the
cake. II horse comes in there at six TO
one they are lust as likely as not to Law
three or four TO one against it, or as in th,.
case of Sandowne, who started at New

to beat the colt, and when heran second once
lie swore the Jockey pulled him up. He

he brought with him bran new linsey for
the colt. 1t had cost him most of his two
weeks wages, but he said the old one was
getting a little bit rusty, and he wanted TO
have the colt fitted out right"
