the two mile and a half course. The Brook
Club offered In 1905 a gold cup valued at
$500 With the stpula ton that II should
BE- won twice by one owner before becom-
ing his property. This was accomplished
when j. T.. Widoner's Compliment got
home safely a length IN front of Robert

Jump CoIsny in 1907.
In addition 10 Compliment, Widener
started Rrlluf which carried the top
