was said that Mr.. Deschaseaux bet on the
dog at that price and TO win the stake at G

ent prior TO the last course that Society
Belle would win. for Mountain Chief had

daughter of Grand F~ashion-Lady of Fash
ion performed remarkably well. though APP
parently in very poor physical condition.
She was obviously suffering from milk fever
and tactical coagulations of the most pro-
nounced sort. Her showing under these cir
cumstances was remarkably brilliant. She
was apparently the fastest dog in the stake,
as she led everything she met. The only
possible chance to lead her lay with Hare
nents. including Mountain Chief. who was
very lucky to beat her. as well as Miss
