race. after being badly beaten by
King. is spoken of as third runner.

lie open to all Corners, in which case
Nigel Jackson will have the OPP

King. The race is Professionally set
for Decoration Day, but until the ar
ticles are actually signed by King

will take place. Sam Hop thinks that
the agreements will be duly signed
on Saturday evening. He was look.
