older boys in the race for the little IL
yoar-old boy took the lead and held it

visit to Richmond when the Blue Grass
Tournament met here in 1898.

Richmond folks. The hearts and
homes of the people were thrown open
and nothing was too good for the visi-
tors. We hope some time soon to have
an opportunity to show our apprecia-
ton in kind
