1921 racing season opened here to-day

fell during the entire night, rendering

and most enthusiastic crowds that ever
attended racing here from attending

The first o-year-old to win was
Jeanne Bowdre, chestnut filly by Luke
McLuke-Black Brocadc, the property
of ] 0. Keene This flly ran impress
sively, and will undoubtedly be heard
from later this season.
Lord Allen, heavily supported, took
the other two year-old event from Gen
tility and Peppery Tea, both of whom
received support from the crowd. The
race was holly contested through out
and the finish was close, Lord Allen
lasting just long enough to take first
money.
