Tetan Begins 10 Falter
In the second lap Tetan began TO AN

he had plenty left. He kept I'D his
steady pace. not going any faster than
he had at first. lie didn't need TO. 70

at that pace over the second. and N.
brave pink of the Greentree stable
finished somewhere in the second
bunch, while Northwood had enough
left to get third place.
Plenty Of enthusiasm was displayed
over this race, though the loudes,
shouts did not come from the club
house nor the grandstand, but from
the plot on the opposite side Of the
track, where the local enthusiasts
gather for the racing
The closest finish of the day was IN

and told him that he was a nice horse.

Garbage in the least. When they gave
him his head he shot TO the front and
carried the red, white and blue so far

The Harvester Plate was for hunters

three starters in this race Margery

and he kent her we'll out in front for
a while. For two miles the mare was
good. but she tired in the third mile,
and Bamberger let her finish on lope.
She just managed 20 negotiate the last
fence. Margery Jaque came IN with
her head in the air, looking as though
she would like 20 cover the distance
all over again. She was carrying the
heavy weight, too-l60 pounds.
