they undertook the task Of trying to
catch the flying Kentuckians.

it was a great victory for the bet

SHOWN in trials made the Kentucltians

may have sent IN its 10 ana 20 and so

The 2-dollar bettors of "Old kaintuck

heir wagers.
They drove the ODDS down and

through betting, and some of the sons
of the Blue Grass were still strue-

Rebel Yell Breaks Out.
The cheering continued as the horses
vent TO the post. where there was a
brief delay. and then, as the Bradley
r.olt rushed past the stands the first

smoothly as q we'll oiled machine. the

rebel yell pierced the air. Bubblins

stand and had a. wreath of roses
strung across his neck, he was as
quiet and docile, az unpertuTbed as
