make il clear that few racetrack officials may
possibly be sometimes a trfe careless IN regard 10
racetrark affairs. few OF our estimabie race
track officials appear 10 pass most o. thelr h'eS

depths OF unrufied slumber arc the intensites and

That was as plain could be. But Doggett rode
him Just about as brightly as he rode Zancne few
days ago. The hackers of Central Trust were In
agony all through the race, and they have been IN
agony ever since Taral outrode Doggett from
start to finish, II cannot be that DogSett and Sims
are special pets Of any Racing Trust which might
possibly now be making so enormous profits on the
turf Nevertheless they ought to have passed
some uncomfortable Quarer-hours If they were not

race, but Sloane. swift and sly got a. little the

Not long ago Hamilton rode Peep O. Day in his
inmitable Hamtonian manner, and Peep o Day
did not get first place. In fact he was not near
