great handicap TO a race horse.
The pair raced as team TO the stretch
entry. Here Eda drew out a length to the
good. Josie switched her tail omnousIy and
got ready to sulk. Brldwell coaxed her
along and wisely let his whip alone. She
began running again,
AT the last eighth pole she got up TO Eda

hit her a couple of times. Wolff also went
10 bat. Bridwell wisely laid his whip down
when he got Josies nose in front. He then
took hold of her head and gave her pow
erful hand ride. She responded sturdily.
Wolff kept at Eda with the whip for bit.
When he found that she did not at once
draw away he> lost heart. put down his
whip and fairly lay down on her neck and
quit. Bridwell made him throw up his
hands and like it,
1t was the clearest case of one jockey
