the card was not Of a kind to attract but in
spite of this the regulars were on hand to a
man. and there was a fair sprinkling OF the
casual racegoers as well. The bright. Indian
summer-like weather was enough in itself to
bring out a crowd, and the racing was better
than its promise.
If any race could bercaIled a feature it was
the handicap for two-year-ods. at six furlongs

class. went to the post. and all through the
race there was plenty Of action. winding up

shaken them off when Charley moved up strong
and gave hattie. She took I'D the issue with

It was only a case of getting in deeper for
those who pinned their faith to Belsnicker. On

A newcomer came along. however. and beat him
home in Heaslip, good looking colt by The
Commoner. His owner thought little of him
that he remarked to a friend that he did not
even expect him to run third. zr
