expenses of the stable for several months
The coup on Georgia Girl was one of
the best of the meeting. In the vernacu-
lar of the track she had been a "bottled-
up good thing ever since she arrived
here. This was the day for the uncork-
Ing, and without mishaps she landed
many big bets for the fasteners

Georgia Girl. This was the extreme limit
of her price and. as the bookmakers had
heard about the tip. they were inclined to
be chary about accepting big bets at the
odds. But they did take many large wag-
ers from ) to down to s to >.
Burlew & ONeill did not send the bulk
OF their money into the ring here. Know
ing that heavy play would cut the odds
and lessen their chance of placing a big
commission. their betting agents in New
York and Cincinnati were instructed early
to take the first prices offered in the pool
rooms.
Georgia Girl had the speed of her field
and easily went to the front at the start.
She made the running; by a length, with
La Soieur second to the head of the
stretch. Then Notter brought the latter

financial pot with one of his determined
finishes. But his mount quit badly in
the stretch and Mcdaniel was able to
Keep Georgia Girl in front long enough to
win by half a length.
Lens Wins for Third Time.
Lens won his third successive race of
the meeting when he captured the fourth
event by neck on the post. His victory
was due in great part to Notter's skill,
and strength at the finish. AL Muller had
plenty of early speed and should have
won. but Delaby made entirely too much
use of him during the first stages of tbo
contest and the result was that his -nopnt
came to slow gallop a the finish. Lens

yards where he closed with a rush on the
outside and won in the last stride
