this afternoon. More than $4,000 persons

MS own pace and never permitting any of
his rivals to get on even terms with him.

that the latter stopped. Then, as Peter
Pan breezed on to the wire, the crowd
| broke into wild cheering, for 1t was one of
the most popular victories Of the season.
| At the end Peter Pan had three lengths to
