Il Probable Winner.

There is a nice three-horse race on the
card at the Fair Grounds today. It IS
not an easy matter TO pick the winner
between Little Scout Dan McKenna and
F7intlock. Scouts last race and McKen-
mas Interior out saw them run true races.

cannot pick the winner. So many untrue
races Of this kind have been run at the
Fair Grounds in the last two weeks that
II is impossible TO make forecasts with
confidence. With all Sunday TO think il

The second race seems to be in My Sur

Comena is a fair kind, and Won seFerai

q good chance TO be third, with a capable

DE KABER IN THIRD.
The third event seems TO belong TO De
Kaber. They backed Roger Smith on Sat

should be second and Pathos third
Dave Sommers should come back in the |
sixth race. Athena. who is sure TO be up /
there. is the one he has got to beat.
