For some time back her trainer led every one
to believe that she would not be sent TO o'd

she Ia a slayer of the hrSt order. but TO ma

Strange as II may seem. the day passed
without a bid in the two selling races that

the meeting opened that this has happened.
and II can be accounted for in two ways.
the material at call was not attractive and all
hands are 80 busy getting ready for shift
of scene that they really had not the time
to bother their competitors.
This matter Of getting away the stables
that have been racing or restins hero is really
a serious one. The agent OF the express com
pany said to-day that his order list showed
a total Of III carloads that must be shipped
out OF here before next Friday. When one
considers the number Of trains and the horse
cars that are at call it ia easy to appreciate
the hustling there must he.
The move Ia already under way. and there
will not be letup until all hands are shipped.

At the post the boy was very anxious and It
really looked as II he was trying to get a

has decided must be stopped. hence the
severity of his punishment.
There has been some complaint here dur
ing the last few days Of tho freedom with
which the Jockeys stroll about the paddock
during the afternoon and the frequent con-
ferences they hold with well known plungers.
These talks may be on sphjects foreign to
racing, but the effect Ia bad and quite lot
OF scandal comes from them. In the West
they have way OF keeping the riders In their
quarters excepting during the time their
services are actually required. and the system
works to a charm. At a place like this. where
the paddock is crowded with the genera |
public. who are, not familiar with the details.
there Ia bound TO he lot OF talk when the
riders are In constant conversation with men
who are known to be heavy betters or in
