about in the effort to discover the dark horse
Yesterday the officials noticed an aged chest
nut horse. whose pedigree was given as Glen
Dud!ey-Prairie Flower, was entered in the
first race under the name of Jim II.
The animal was unknown to any of the
sharps at the course, and the owner, w. L.
Montague, was questioned by the officials
after the horse had opened up in the betting
at 20 to l and was speedily played down to 8
to /.
He declared that the horse had been bought
from l.. II. Lilly, OF Toppewish, Wash, and
had raced in that part of the country, but
had never done much. Jim II. had started
once before. but was never prominent. AS
the horse could not be identified, and the
owners explanation was not satisfactory, the
judges refused to allow Jim r. to start. and
declared ali bets of. The horse was at once
removed from the track. and Secretary Tomp-
kins wired to j. FL. Lilly about him.
