mile and quarter race at Reno In
2:06 40, and that Bank, the sensa.
ional Nevada Derby winner Of last
year, was returned winner at the

1T of good news, and which pleased
Berry more than anything, was that
Fambolo, n FLY by Grey Leg, the ia.
nous English stallion, out of Bernina,
IN imported English mare, has won her
lrst start, at Reno. This FLY is en-
cred in next years. Kentucky Derby
