It May Be Wrong to
Covet the Lunch of
Your Neighbor, But

Lunches were never so tempting AZ
Monday. with special emphasis on the
word tempt.
The ones which were prepared with
special flourish were expected TO be 80,
but the most tempting OF all proved to be
the last minute affairs.
Some of our very best sportsmen went
forth early to enjoy the races and were
a little backward about taking a bite
with them. thinking a lunch would be
quite unnecessary in the absorption of
the track. The time went by and when
their neighbors brought forth choice NOR
sells. a couple OF our we'll known bach
elors in the referee box were seen TO
amble forth to their friends.
Others who had no supplied friends
sent urchins out to the near by-stores TO
buy anything. anything that might even
taste like food.

that they are considering the question
