and sundry occasions and made them
look like they dropped something.

ford, N. G.. Glandon, you'll remem-
ber gave the great Lamp Girl such a
race on our track the first year, and
it looks like the winner will have
him to fight this time. Bursar, the
pride of the Eastern Shore, is in bet
ter shape this year than ever before,
and watch if the others don't tire OF
his company and give up the strug-

ought to win but he will have the
battle of his life.

Sam Patch, of Northampton, will line
up for the first race with masters OF
their art n the buggies jockeying for

their business. Nelson's entry, Grow

chances in favor of the Richmond

timore, 2 10, Evadne 2.l4 and Nomi-
nee II. What a race this should be.
PAGERS and trotters here go on equal
terms. Nominee, who never knew a
dishonest gait until they put hopples
Oh him, likes the change and thinks
he can beat the PAGERS at their own
game. This will be a battle OF giants
Ainsworth and Nominee will lock
horns and drive from wire to wire
You might 20 north, spend more
money and not see near as good a
race.
The day winds up with Willie
Shaw, Fornie, Cordova, Ida Gray
Happy Tie and Lillian b., in the 2 81
class. Willie Shaw, mare just out
of the bushes, will probably win here
and bring additional honors to heI
young owner. She was good fluid
This will be a splendid race however
and if one is disposed to bet would
advise him not to place his entire
potato crop on this last prediction
You might quit sadder, but wiser
Keep your money in your pockets
Don't bet But if you DO, don't come
around with an inconsOlable look
You bet your money and you took
YOUR chances. A cheerful loser makes
companionable sportsman.
