in two straight heats and setting the
low mark of 2:11.

a cinch for the Futurity stake (run-
ning), worth $2,S75 They sent two
good ones to the post, San Tomas and
Bee Bee, and took first and second

Waterhouse entry, justified the confi-
dence of the talent and captured the
prize in the mile and a-sixteenth race,
