last night There were but few people
present Who believed he would vim
They reasoned that he had been off the
track for five years was not so familiar
with the saucer as he should be. and
that he had not trained sufficiently TO
put him in proper shape Then
Vaughan was the acknowledged cham
pion of the saucer in sprinting compe-
ution races land he was picked as a
sure winner,
But the local speed merchant upset
the calculations Of them all When he
won the half mile heat his friends pre-
