running race, one-half mile dash free
for all. Lord Brock, Ballota and Star.
Opinion was divided as to Lord
Brock and Ballota. Lord Brock takes
the lead and there is wild applause
from the Germans. Lord Brock gains
every inch of the way, and soon Bal
lota follows suit; then the three horses
are punched, but Lord Brock shakes his
hoofs in the faces of his opponents and

time during the race when Lord Brock

one between Ralph and Margaret H.;
the latter makes a desperate struggle
