pthers shared a similar fate at the sec
ond jump; another fell at the third, and,
to cap the climax. Reno refused the
fourth jump. Silverado and Mestor the
two survivors, fought it out at the finish,
the former at to winning by a length.
Reno was subsequently galloped over
the course for third honors. Fortunately
none of the riders were seriously in

badly bruised.

ters had but three starters, Senator
Bland Imp. Tripping and Judge Denny,
