shines ne does SO to some advantage. He's
not pikcr i'll any sense or The word. It's
the whole loaf or none with him, and when
he got through with the ring at the Island
track, he not only had the loaf, but u
whole bakery thrown In.
Pa,sey had four OF his bread winners
scattered through the programme, and
no less than three of these were returned
winners. He got down on them all good,
and hard, and II Leigh. the loser, had won.

As u was, they were none too sweet on

Lass got through with them.
HAD MONEY TO BURN.
As luck would have 1t, Patsey chose just
the right day to cut his winners loose, as
there was nothing but money in the ring.

turned, and if yesterday was Il sample of

Leigh was another supposedly good thing
and was backed from his opening price

away well but soon dropped back and
never appeared TO be able to extend hini-
self. Quartermaster made the running
after they were Strengthened out In the
backstretch and won somewhat easily
from Repetition, a 10 to ! shot.
Although Matte Chun had not been out

ran as If short and shut up after going
a quarter of a mile, Fredericks going
on and landing the money at odds OF 4 to

A GOOD PRICE.
