were Typhoon H., Hastings. George Keene,

Charley Henshall was positive that Gin ette.

race. at a mile. In fact he was willing to bet
bis life on her. He said that she would run
the head on Far West, but he did not reckon
with Dolly Spanker, who was in very light,
with only 1902 pounds. Miller. whose sus-
pension expired on Saturday. had the leg
up on Dolly Spanker and the really wise
money was placed on the kingston gelding,
who was pounded down from 3 TO 1 to II to S.

supported by the public in general. He also
carried heavy commission from the Schwartz
brothers OF Wall Street. who thought he had
the race at his mercy. The books were big
winners to this race. for they handled very
little smart money on the vim er. Ginette
