have the owners disqualified for their
refusal to come to time when the
races were called, but even threat had
no effect in allowing their attitude

uled to leave here on the o'clock
train and shortly before that time he
left the fair ground enclosure. I'M
mediately upon his departure the rae
ing proceeded The lateness of the
start caused the continuance of the
