Racing was good. for the most part.
though Morris Vollmer's defeat in the third
race was entirely inexplicable The horse
went up under considerable play and was
ridden with considerable iistlessness.
Ada N, a Frisco performer of last win

ting. She had to be much the best to win,
as she was of badly and was pinched at
the first turn.
