In Chicago. They have had enough of him.
l certainly hope the Missouri Legislature
will pass law barring racing altogether
rather than let Condor control II In St.

graft in st. Louis in 1858. and they are
after it now.

peace with Delmar and the Fair Grounds.

Many people say that Delmar and the
Fair Grounds should give kinloch open
dates. II Kinloch throws down the outlaw
rule and takes in all horses this should be

Mr.. Celia cannot consent to give 1t open

selves for the good of racing and keep out
the Chicago wolves. Yours,
