The delay at the post on Saturday
which caused to declare off the last race,
caused the management to lose lust SS7,
us they returned $l7 to each book.
Harry Bennett ran very good race
and did not quit. He no doubt liked
the good track.
Jockey Naryaez played in tough luck
all day yesterday, as he could not get
better than second where if he could
have gotten off little better or had not

Jockey Nelson was the lucky boy to

best he could do was to finish second.

Harry Handfield lost one of his cinch

Dick Baker had swell bet on The

money.
Flippen lost good bet on Boisterous

Johnny Distel figured Gilt Australian
a good thing to be in the money. but
played Henry against his better judg-

bitches in the field daring the fourth
race, you wouldn't think it bothered
him much.

and as he won he thinks the game very
good.
Mack's Frank got mixed up with the
rush on Desbrosses and il cost the ex-
bookmaker several hundred.
Johnny Pangle lost good bet on Junk
but evened things up little by betting
on Minis. He also had n small onn oE
