RNOLY HOSES! Did you see wha

RAOLY HOSES! Did you see what IVLS Cudgel did down at Havre the other day? Sweet daisies, how that baby must have stepped. Grabbed the Cecil handicap in a walk.
 Sweet dreams, mamma. Business of deep thought. Pause)
 But now that we have thought it over and are through rejoicing per haps A.wiI be Better to >cLt/~--.+ 2, comedy F37t and settle down to aightlines.- Don't get us wrong; we hd not 1nvesS a single cent in CudyeI and therefore had nothing to reIlce over only simply the fact thf out dope came true. (Our last ( sfe .oue-ThornbIoom - on whom we Nnvested a chewingless piece of gum three weeks ago came in Tues day, too).
 However, that victory of Cudgers over the select field that he bucked promises much for him. He carried something like 132 pounds and did the course in 1:45 2-5, which is very good time for mile and seventy yards. It proves one, thing: Cudgel is now at his best and will be prepared to give others in his class a tough race this season.
 Look this baby over, folks, and don't eroWd coming in.
