Eight bookies went on and did a good

happy after the last race had been run, as
they quit away ahead of the game Only
two favorites landed the money for the tai

hibitive odds that he was not played to any
extent.
The fourth race furnished a pretty fin.

chute. There was quite a long delay at the
post, Elmstone and the odds-on favorite,
Bobolink. acting like wild horses.

excellent start Ham took Paragon to the
front and led into the stretch by four
lengths. FitZsimmons, on Bobolink, was

gone to sleep, as he did not make a move

In the opening event Ham made very
ghostly y-looking ride on the fayorite, Clans

talent did not fancy his chances and couple
OF points better could be had at the close.

cision in the suits against E. A. Mcintyre,
charging collusion and fraud in the sale OF
large amount of real estate, estimated to
be worth from S15 900 to S25 900.
The plaintiffs are Mary Pryor, Barbara
Brown, Airs. Hayes, Mrs. Ackerman, and
Mrs. SOuthey. Their attorneys were Messrs.
Mackey, Clayton, and Boarman. Mr. Nc
lntyre was defended by Gen. Hinke The
cases have been before the court nearly three
years.
The sales were made about ten years be-
fore the suits were brought, and Judge
Hagner decided some time ago that the
action 60 set them aside was untenable by
lapse of time. The delay had been so great
the chancpry court could not interfere. No
opinion was expressed as To the charges Of
fraud.
A new hearing was asked for and granted ,
and recently the cases We're argued again
at great length. In a carefully prepared
opinion Judge Hagner reaifirnled his de-
Cision that the plaintiffs were barred by
