opinions about his order for Thursday
but IL came out fairly well in the end.

by large exhibits In all departments
good contests on ring and track, and al
orderly sssemblage OF people, with tn
money receipts perhaps little smsile

Ed Thayer and landed the first heat IL

money, Glenco Patchen, bay gelding
entered by J. ;. Chaplin OF Harrison
In the fourth heat the driver of Little
Nick did some foul driving by cutting
in front OF Robenis on TO the pole and
