tuted for G. Maben, but although Our
Lucky made much better showing, being
beaten but half length in 2:2211, the
Doctor secured first money and his jubi-

Pooling was how dead on the race, and the
pretty little FLY came out and took the
next heat and race in walk, pacing the
mile in 2:273l. with Prince Bismarck again

and Fred Mason $40. When the judges
gave them the word Fred Mason went out
in the lead, and, holding it all the way,

But now came decision from the stand
that was as inexplicable as it was unjust.

gave place in the heat to Flora G, against
which long price was laid by the bookies.
