have been praying since the meeting
opened for a soaking rain to put the
track in condition for fast going The
rain and mud didn't operate to change
the course of the betting taken the
night before, when pools were sold in
the Montana hotel. There was but one
really sad dump, and that was in the
third race. when Oscillation ooh the

mud. A 10-minute downpour put the
track in a condition which made fast
going impossible. However, Negligence

Six FurIongs- ejaculation.
This is where the talent fell. fell hard
and in the mud at that. Peixotto and
Dorah Wood were the contenders in the
pool box, n Oscillation was a third
choice. n not strong, either. Another
drenching rain fell just after the second
race, but the third was run during an
intermission of the shower. Dorah
Wood, as usual, delayed the start by
to break, but when the four
on their slushy journey they
were about leveled up. Dorah led up
the stretch, closely followed by Piexotto,
Oscillation going third and not worried
in the mud. Piexotto showed it's head
into the clear at the stretch entrance
with Oscillation on immediate ground.
When the field Strengthened out il was
seen that Oscillation was the whole
thing in the race and the Salvador flIy
ven through the goal four lengths be-
fore Piexotto, while Dorah Wood had
all the third money, -four lengths from
and Is in front of Lady Flight.
