lost a heartbresking race in the inal
sixteenth. After Jockey Boral had
driven hun within striking distance. he
faltered and the Ally won By two
lengths. Her owner. Harry Payne Whit

judges stand when Regret came back
TO the stand. She received a great ova-
ton.

another Eastern racer. was third. He
ran game race. but he was not good
