Because Of his many victories In the west
and on the strength of some recent fast
half-mile private dashes he was made an
odds on favorite at 2 to 5 and to 3. AT
these prices his owner. r. A. Rainey. and
his brother. Paul j., bet q small fortune on

he sought to get back some of this purchase
price by betting heavily on him.
The Rainey agents were busily engaged
and 1t is reported that they bet $4,000 on
the youngstef.
Conville nearly raced rings around his
field. He had to run on the outside the
greater part Of the distance, but he won
easily without touch of whip or spur:
Horace e. acted as the pacemaker and led
by legnth and half the first four and
a half furlongs, with Purslane second and
Conville third. In the run home the latter
closed fast on the leaders and taking the
lead won by nearly two lengths from Purs-

lance, when Horace E. quit in the last half

Jesse Lewisohn had a lucky escape from

see him warm up. He was not impressed
with his preliminary gallop and determined
to bet on Conville. the horse that seemed
to have the next best chance. Instead or
losing 10000 he won $4,000 on Conville.
The defeat of Horace f. and the failure
of De Mund to live up to his private trials
have caused trainers to say that the

horses. They sought to even up their losses

Revenue. The defeat OF both horses cost
the Raineys close to $4,000
Ravena won the first race easily. She ran
the six furlongs in LIZ, thereby establishing

accompanied by the port authorities. en-
barked for the outer roads to meet the
Charleston.
The arrival of the cruiser with the dis
