Notwithstanding the fact that no bet

sums by backing Cousin Lefty at odds

grand stand proclaiming his anxiety to

horse. No one bit at the bait and he
was forced to try his luck elsewhere
Considering the afternoon as whole
it was by all odds the most ENJOYABLE
Of the week. The weather was cooler
the racing closer, the attractions as good
and the stand was big enough to accom-
modate all who desired seats.
