Maid, Pennant had to come by the over
land route and run all around his field,
stand a grueling lashing, and outgame
the Canadian Queen" Southern Maid.
They have run the Futurity at Sleeps

the Long Island track had all the glamour
and scenery necessary for a classic OF
this order, there never was such a race
as todays. filled with so many thrills
and starts

Borel, the silent rider from California,
had big hand in the great victory. He
put up an exhibition of jocSeyship that
is seldom witnessed. He drove Pennant
along at terrific gait TO overhaul those
fast-mOving silk jackets that were away
