heavily on a 20-to-1 shot yesterday and

and the men who backed her won many
hundreds of dollars
This was not the only race in which
Gardeners colors flashed past the winning
post in front Sir Mncemeat. two-year-
old son of the noted English stallion. Mince-
meat. displayed great speed in the fifth race

furlong Like Pity. he was ridden by
Walker The odds against him were to l..
PHYS success cost a large amount to the
rank and file of racegoers. In the same
race with her was Toboggan. This old
sprinter was regarded as a certain winner

Dull Day for Favorites.
Favorites Jared badly during the after
noon. kohinoor. at IL to ). and Kittie
Platt at to ). We're the only choices that
earned the judges decision.
The Pinkerton Detective Agency will
probably be asked to police the tracks here,
beginning with the new year There have
been several fights in the betting ring be-
tween the local police and tOuts. The lat
ter are so bold and annoy the racegoers
so openly that stories are afloat charging
connivance between them and the police.
The fights arose. horsemen declare. because
the touts objected to the heavy cutoff
and levy of graft By placing the Pink
erton men in control of the gate and ring,
the same as they are at all other tracks,
this nuisance will be stopped.
