But canst thou give a reason for thy

Till, losing hope, all comfort We

All, it is thine; aye, it is thine to

In the meantime the Hilltop

Paul York, Swavely Prep

Little Claiming Done

Not only does the public seem
to be unable or indisposed to
loosen up, but the same Situa-
tion appears to prevail with the
horsemen. For instance, during
the first six days of the Bowie
meeting preceding, Is horses
were claimed for a total price
Of $42 600. During the first six
days of the current session but
one horse was claimed, that be-
ing War Saint. Thursday, for
q price of $1,500.
You can make your own ex-
planation of this condition.
With three tracks in Florida
losing heavily during the win
ter. the alibi was that there
we're not enough people winter
Ing in its resorts to patronize
the tracks.
New Orleans had nothing like
the success of winters immedi-
ately preceding, one track even
going to the extent Of trying 81
mutuels to get the people out
to the track. The innovation
failed, and the shift back to 81
was soon made.
But Bowie, nearer the big CEN
.ters of population, was sup
posed to see times more normal
in turf attendance, and while
some improvement is noted
over the winter tracks, the play
is easily one-third off of what
might we'll have been expected.
