there is wide difference between run

latter worthy Of classification as the
more aristocratic. But In the sum-

would be glad to have the seats all
occupied. but they recognize the fact
that as spectacular diversion a week
of racing exhausts the demand of those
who are content to see the horses run.
A well-hlled betting ring and active
bookmakers are the indications Of
success and hundred men who will
