q sweepstakes for Dick Welies, Afri-
cander, McChesney and Hernis, pro-

amount of the purse $4,000. With
this offer it is believed that the four
champions of the turf may meet before

The conditions would be weight for
age, and the only provision governing
the four-cornered match would be that
the track must be fast, with all four
to start or no race
