 Cooper, contract rider for Mir. and Mrs. w. c. Weant, in twelve days of riding at the Western Massachu- sets plant has compiled a winning percentage of .2o, which on the basis of the mounts he has accepted is easily the best record achieved by any of the 35-odd riders now making up the colony at Agawam Park.

He has been un- placed 32 times.

 The veteran, Jimmy Lynch, who has fifty-one mounts, has been in front eight times and unplaced 3l times. He has had seven place horses and his percentage is IS.
