ruined what promised to be a very good
card at the Fair Grounds to-day. In the
fifth race the three c~ontenders were
scratched out. Two were declared out in
the morning. presumably because they
were afraid of Prince Salm Salm. hut he
went so lame about an hour before the
race he could hardly stand UP. and so he
had TO be declared.
Steve LHommedleu was operating in the
ring to-day. Fatty Phillips. who was
booking for Fred Cook. drew out on in
gtructions from the boss, and L'Homme-
dieu bought the stand for the day.
The intended feature Of the day was the
fourth. race. a handicap at nine f~urlongs
but it was spoiled by Cochran's miserable
ride on the ~favorite. Sonoma Belle. He
had her pocketed and cut off. made up all
his lost ground in n f%tirlong. and then she
died away. and Nose Goldblatt's horse.
The Regent. breezed home. It was The
Regents last race for a while. as Nose
SAYS he IS going to turn him out and
freshen him up.
