The jockeys and trainers who make a
business of crooked work at Alexander
Island and who would rather steal one
dollar than make two, must have become
slightly mixed in their dates yesterday and
Thought they Were at the Island. For fancy
rides and dead ones the day was a corker
The very AIR seemed to smell of ''Iobsters''
They ran up against the wrong game,
however, as the number of jocks and
owners that Judge Martin had on trial
after the races would have brought a
blush of shame to even such a place as
the old Gloucester track used 10 be, or.
better still, tie more recent fly-by-night

The judges would have done we'll if
they had gone further and Investigated
the winning of Minnie 5. in the fourth race.
Avery had the mount and at no stage Ofthe
race was the mare prominent.

be taken as a criterion she showed u re-

The betting was very lively on some of
the races and the bOOkies had all they
could do to handle the money that poured

track was. perhaps, one OF the coolest places

a gallop by a length.
Billy Boy was dead 'un in the fifth event
and Tom Tough going TO the front when he
pleased won easily by a length.
The closing event went to Vestibule, who,
cleverly ridden by Ham, won in drive by
one-haIf q length from Luray He was
all out at the finish and in another jump
