markable performance. He acted
fractiously at the post and left the
barrier tenth in a field of eleven.
He was compelled to race on the
outside throughout and finished
going stOutly.
Summerlike weather made wraps
and topcoats a burden. Oral wager
ing was freely INDUCED IN without
molestation of the police. Society
thronged the boxes and almost all
the civic officials were present.
