Pitcher Ed Dunkle was turned over to

McChesney was sent two miles over the

about that. The luck that enabled him
to win $4,000 with a 500 horse in ten

brewer. for $500. Yesterday at the Bright

had Pristina had good handling. The con-
test was series Of errors from start to

part In the struggle. Jockeys rode like
novtces and with all the abandon and reck-
less tactics Of cowboys.
Redfern on Juvenal Maxim was jostled
and w. c. Whitney's rider Immediately
pulled out of prominent position and
dropped out Of the race. Pristina in the
stretch was running over her field. but
Michaels showed lamentable lack Of de-
ctsion to steer his mount to the outside
or the rail, and his failure to grasp an
opening quickly cost him the race. While
Pristina was being messed about Lath-
eron came swirling along knocking every
thing about in his path. Pristina was in
his way and she was nearly thrown over
the fence. Then Pentaur added to the
melee by finishing with a rush on the out
side. Between these two colts Race King.

poor send-off and wretched ride from Red

she would have won had all things been
