holder OF the coast race record for
trotters, was given first money on her

IN the pools and he would probably
have JUSTIFIED the judgment OF his
hackers had IL not been for the folly OF
Ms stable boys after his second win
n-ng heat They removed the pads
from his feet 10 tighten him up, and so
Vel did they succeed that the usually
sleaoy sLalliou went on MS stride three
times IN the next he was reskod just
before the last heat, but TOO late 10
repair the damage. Berta Mac spent
first heats, but the grueling finishes
seemed 70 steady her down, and IN the
last two she showed all OF that mar

the coast record last Wednesday
