THERON WON
The STAKE
YESTERDAY
he BettOrs Broke
Even.
GOLDEN RUSSET SECOND
JESSAMY FURNISHED THE FUN
JESSAMY FURNISHED THE FUN
FOR THE CROWD.
Mary Ann Captured the Puppy Stake
and Was the Idol of the Pikers.
She introduced Them to
Colonel Mazuma,

oh, you Theron" was the cry that
went up in the finals as the brown and
white dog forged away, passed Golden
Russet and won the open stake at Union
Park yesterday. Golden Russet should
have won the stake as reward for his
trainer, as this is the second time this
month that the dog has contested in the
finals and could do no better than secure
the short end Of the purse. But this is
the fortune Of war, and If the courses
were sure thing before the hounds were
slipped where would the sport be?
The day was an even one for the bet
ting public, as fortune smiled on the
short-enders on twelve occasions, the
longest shot throughout the day, how
ever, being Shylock Boy, who defeated
Jennie Wilson in the third round of the
open stake at the odds of to l. Sweet
Lips also enriched the finances OF the
''pikers" by winning in the same round by
securing the flag from MCComb's bitch
Motto. Jessamy ran well all day; in fact,
she did too much sprinting, as after
every course her owner, Thompson, had
to chase her all over the field TO get her
back TO the kennels.
The puppy stake was won by Mary Ann.
II is not known whether the company she
ran with was disgusted at her plebeian
name or if the talent overlooked her;
- '
short end, and won handily at that. Mas
ter Lawrence, yOungster with a world
OF speed, was the runner-up. The results
