be unable to put two winning days to-
gether. Thanksgiving. they placed three
favorites. Yesterday they fell down to
one, and he was so decided choice that
it took SO to win 81, and bankrolls have
dwindled woefully. The books stood little
chance to be seriously hurt.
There was crowd of probably 1,5oo peo-
pie present. The sky was clear and the
sun was bright, but a cutting wind pre-
vailed throughout the afternoon that
chilled to the bone, and, while the racing
was exceptionally good, there was little
pleasure derived from it.
1t was Clawson's day among the jock
eys He rode two winners and ran Sec
ond once. Neither of the mounts that
he landed first figured as favorite. Ma
her had three mounts, but landed only
once-on Kinnikinic in the last race, the
only winning favorite of the day.

the winner would receive a bonus of SO.
There was some delay at the post, the
monotony of which was broken by South
Africa running away. He went nearly a
half mile at a rapid gait before Potts
could pull him up, and his chances toF
winning the race were gone. When given

never displaced. In the stretch Saratoga
and Fetiche ran a driving race for the
place. Fetiche winning 1t. landing
