| teur. The entry lists include some new
| riders and as one or two Of them are
dark horses, it is safe to say that good
sport is assured. The principal feature
VII probably be the three lap mile lap
| race. for points. Such race compels
the riders to sprint all the way in the
| el.deavor to score the most points for
the laps won. 1t must be understood
that the rider who first crosses the tape
at the finish is not always the winner of
the race. Instead the rider who is first
in the greatest number OF laps, or rather
who scores the greatest number of
points, gets first money. In addition to
the races abe track patrons will be treat
ed to an exhibition of trick riding, by
Ed Baisden. whose really remarka BILE
feats on the silent steed have already
made him popular and have won for him
well deserved praise.

Dune Cameron's Superstition.
! There is always a certain amount 0
superstition among horsemen, an.
Duncan Cameron has his share. TIL
other day when Hagerdon equalled thu
local track record. for five and a hal
| furlongs, and it was announced that h.
would go after the five furlong record tn,
next day, newspaper man approached
Mr.. Cameron and asked to be allowed
to photograph the horse. Mr.. Cameron
who trains H. L. Franks horses, among
which HagerdOn is numbered, declined
to permit such a. thing. He was assure,
that it was matter of vital importanc
to the scribe, who informed the wei
known trainer that a picture of the hors
would be great thing to print, in tn
event he broke the track record 70
one distance after equalling it for an
other.
Mr.. Cameron could not see it that wa,
and so informed the scribe in YER
| polite manner. But the scribe was no
satisfied and he wanted to know wha
reason the trainer had for refusing t.
allow the horse to be photographed. The
Mr.. Cameron grew confidential and said
ITS bad luck. my boy. bad luck; that
what it is. Hagerdon might not be abb
to lower that record If he was photo
graphed. Why Winnecook was photo
graphed the other day. and she has no
won since. Her owners are wild abou
1t. Excuse me, but would rather 20,
would not take a picture of my horse
1t is possibly good thing Hagerdol
was not photographed. as she not onl.
failed to lower the track record the mex
day, but was beaten by Doublet Ha,
she been photographed Mr.. Cameron
might have been justified in claimin
that as the cause of her failure an
defeat.
