Frank L. Kramer. This fact was in
open evidence at the Newark Veio-
drome yesterday afternoon, when
Gouilet. fortunately If you will. de-
feated Kramer on two occasions in
races that called forth the mighty
applause of the vast multitude OF per-
sons present In one race. the New
ark Thousand" Kramer would have
given much to win outside of the fat
purse Of $500 which went to the vic
tor. In the other race, the three-mile
open, Kramer was anxious also to
win, for the simple reason that he
would have offset Gouilet's victory in
the big event. But Kramer. used to
having his whims satisfied, was in
for disappointment on this occasion.
He was second twiee-seeond to rider
