SOME STRANGE RIDING WAS SEEN.

THINK THE OFFICIALS WERE BLIND.
=. uas q distressing rumor which came under

FRANKLIN statue in Printing House Square. on
tuesday night. This strange tale said that goou
Oueen Victoria had become blind Word Is now
here by cable from London that this Is mistake
The Queen Is not blind. 1t would be grevous
nity and afrction II she were No such weird
recort will ever be set afioat to some OF the
racetrack officials in this State. 1t has been
matter OF common knowledge for many a uay
that some Of these officials were born ohnd IKE
kittens and their eyes have never been opened
Doggett knew this when he rode Zanone yester-
day Doggett knows many things. So does John
J. McCafrerty So does w. c. DAILY So does
Thorpe So does Guinea Keets Skeets Martin. So
do some others But perhaps the innocent ana
harmless persons who brought Thorpe and Guinea
Keets Skeets Martin from the West TO the East
do not know II. When Eastern owners go west
for Jockeys they are like the dear children who
dig for pots of gold at the feet Of rainbows. Now
there's 10. Hill. for instance. Jo Hill was
cheerful pot Of gold, an Eastern jockey. wasn't
he? Almost as golden a pot in racing as David
Bennett Hill is IN politics. And as pot In poll

Sage of Wofert's Roost is wonder The FUNNIEST
thing of all is that Rip Wolferts Roost Hill thhks
that he is still alive In politics That is to laugh,
and TO laugh great deal

the victim has been dead long that, like Lazarus
he is fragrant.

The owner Of Zanone backed Zanone hard and
strong That's straight and that's true The owner
OF Zanone wanted his horse TO win That's straight
and that's true. He got an ingenious. quaint and
medieval ride while loud sounds resembling snores
seemed TO arise in the neghborhood of the stand In
which racetrack officials are supposed to be watch
ing with sharpest scrutiny the riding of all Jockeys
in all races.

Club and Colonel II. D. Mcintyre secretary of the
club arranged an excellent programme for this
