aroused by beef stew, Spanish, or the
story Of Aladdin and the wonderful

to other conceits just as quaint. He
looked at Susanna, once proud prin-
cess OF the south. standing forlorn
and detected outside the barn OF

importing French champagne from
Japan in the guise of soy-bean oil;

hoped to recuperate their losses on

away well. but at the three-furlong
pole she began 10 lag, and Nixon's
locked drew whip. Susanna swerved
under the first punishment. lost her
stride. swung out at the stretch. and
finished like a wild horse-on the out
side of the track and in fifth place.
The Information Kid was down at
the first-furlong pole when Susanna
was being led back to the stable.
