Driver Tom Cannon arrived at home last
week from Pennsylvania with Miss Clean
and Silver Socks. He denies the truth OF
the report that he has disposed OF his
share in the ownership OF Miss Clean
though he says there may shortly be a
change of ownership in the other one-half

1t is not improbable that Temple Wilkes
will be started shortly to break the Bright
