Voc Wing Choy, real importation from

fling sensation at the Salt Palace
.r,ck last evening. He broke no records.
no WAS responsible for no wonderful rid
,.. and he Will not be put down in the
,.I.elmau's almanac as a big thing al
,sgoffating the saucer. But ne was 1T, -
,.,.erfbeless. and all ether acts Of the

riti. howl and have experienced thrills Tor
,..ay "a week. but they never until last
,,.riu, had such IL good chance to in

H. witnessed the downfall OF China and
G,i the laugh OF the season over il.

I'm. an practice, and is known TO have
-,4da ID mile i'm tour minutes at one time,
Inn There was only one man VINO SAW hum
J il. and his reputation for Veracity is
vu mo, what u ought to be. But Just
fa, same. Wing rode very nicely with the
inns of the SlOwest of the 2:l5 anna
laars he rode one lap without event,
which is % fact worthy OF note.
Had a Runaway.
Ruf on the second lap Choy began to
oct action on his big gear, and the ma
Chime eut going so fast that he really

the emDInkmenI on the east side II got
away from him. lie lost control, just as
n man Will be unable 10 curb the energy
nj Il risky horse, and the wheel, sure
enough got away from him.
a never 1or "a moment entered Yee's
baad to steer up arou nd the bunch and
I'M opening down on the pole, and he shot
into fine bunch Ii didn disturb the 9TH

and the. Young man from the land OF StriIe
Tn oil the track Such was his speed
that he couldn't stop, ana he began to
ri9p right across the middle OF the arena
IN The deep grass. II looked for all the
world MS though he was trying 10 cut
across To get on the track on the other
Side. and the crowd fairly howled with

I'm Chovs head it was very quickly truS-
rated for he had gotten Just about half
WAY across the track when he took the
urettitst header any man in all the WOrlU

Crowd Fairly Screamed.
Doubtless it was heartless on the part
of the crOWd-mOst likely it was-but they
fairly screamed, it was 50 funny. Some
five minutes later, when the band tried to
render one of its inspiring selections, the
musicians were unable TO proceed owing
lo the continued laughter.
WING wasn't hurt beyond d slight frac-
turc ut his feelings, wnen an OveT-enthu-
SIaStir follower yelled: You didn't chalk
YOUR queue Wing. That was cruel, and
when another man said that there was a
Boxer boxed, il was even more heart
less
Barring the short but eVentful ride of
the Celestial. the one event OF the evening
Wis the match race between Iver Lawson
and Glenn TurviIle liver won in a walk.
It was even said by some that IL was too
easy which, maybe, was right The time
Was not nearly so fast as 1t has been III
other match races tor the same distance.
This can be accounted for by the fact
that Glenn was baked, as it was. and If
tle race had been run any faster ne
probably wouldn't have been able TO finish
