BY IRVING ID. CLEMENT
It is a certainty that the track will
still be muddy this afternoon and the
mudIarks will have another chance to
earn their oats.
There are six races carded. and the
horses that will start in five of the
events are a mighty poor lot. The fifth
race should result in a hotly contested
affair
Nome Lucille, Lady Kitty. Afro
Laura E and several other good ones
will open the days sport in the first
race and as the field is large rapid
breaker will have a slight advantage.
1t should be "hoss race" from be-
ginning to end and the finish should
be close.
There "ain't" much in the second
race. but Chinn will start two. Joe
Gaitius and Harry Stanhope. Fred
Maier is a good mudder and Arise is
a clever little trick herself. Horace H
will have Preston in the saddle AS
the race is only three furlongs good
postrider will be in demand.
The limit sixteen are asked to go six
furlongs in the third race and what
bad bunch of non-winners they are.
Geo. Swain. Sombro, DIR. Simrall,
Oreagna, Charlie Paine and some of
the others are exceptionally good mud
ders. This race should be holly con-
tested affair II all get an even break
Gray FiIly to Start
A mixed lot are in the fourth race.
Pepper and Salt is the little gray flly
that is so we'll liked by the ladies on
account of her colors. The ladies will
keep the messenger buy in the stand
ordering Pepper and Salt. Josie is
another pet name and If my memory
serves me right Joe named this filly

Bug! What kind of bug is that"
Mud bug" Banlada and Virginia
Lorraine performed last week.
The star event on the card brings
out such nice lot as Barn Eslur,
First Peep, Azara Chippewa and Rip
Rap, and what a race 1t will be. The
finish should bring the crowd to its
feet cheering for their respective IA
vorites.
Breeding Bureau is the name of the
sixth race, a purse affair which brings
out five beetles, in Joe, Beautiful and
Best, Simon D, The Don and Chestnut.
They were good horses in their day,
but their present owner would lose
nothing by donating them to the pro-
posed breeding bureau in this state.
