see the running of the Kansas turf
classic, which is the last event of to-
days racing program. There are seven
entrants and so evenly matched are
they that followers of the races are not
making any predictions as to the Win
ner. Once in while some one makes
a remark that some particular horse
will not win. and this is safer than try
ing to pick the winner, for the chances
are six to one that any one horse Will
be beaten.

mare, owned by J. S. Stratton, Ander-

hard fought victory Yesterday in
much for looks, but is such a race
