Stephens prize day, this natural
show and saddling ring was grand

en-, flamboyantly clad officers, top
hated gentlemen, sleek thorough
bredS and flashing silks.
The horses looked about the same
as ours, though maybe they are
not quite as large. The Jockeys,
however, were quite different in
appearance. In the first place,
most of them seemed to be men
of 40 and upwards. I spotted a
few pink checked boys about the
age who ride in America. And they
were all sizes and shapes. During
the saddling for one race I saw
jockeys who ranged in height from
better than six feet to well under
five. Some were fat and some were
thin. With my limited knowledge

horses came within sight I spot

my arms and begging him to come
home in a hurry. With my first
scream, the Hungarians around
me turned and gave me looks
which said SO much better than
words:
please! We don't want that sort
of thing here" fgo.e,
So the next race, I didn't make
any bet, but just watched the crowd.
From the start of the race, which is
announced by the ringing of an
oversize dinner bell, until the last
horse had finished the Budapest
bettors sat in almost dead silence.
There was little talking and no
cheering. Even when the numbers
went up after close finish, there
was no applause. aw ,'o,
I was just as much out of place

learned my lesson in Hun
garian racing manners at the
Jockey club track in this city.
Unknowingly, visited the track
on it's biggest day of the year
when the country's crack horses
went to the post in "Sztistuan-
diz" which is to say the Stephens
prize. The Stephens which is at
1900 meters carries a purse of
$4,000 pengoes and is the Ken
lucky derby of Hungary.
The jockey club course here is
the finest have ever seen and that

most serious contender for top
honors among the invading cars.
Buzzie Buzzard, San Diego driver
who took first place in the 40 lap
race last week is also rated as one
of the drivers to beat in tonights

No. IL from San Diego Will also
be entered in the main event and
should be near the front when the
finish line is crossed.
Valley drivers are particularly
anxious to beat out Buzzie Buz-
zard as the San Diego driver boast
ed he would take every race at
the speedway now that he has
learned the tricks and turns OF
the valley oval. "I'll show them
valieyites some real speed next
week, and every week." he gloated,
after collecting his winnings at
the speedway last Thursday night.

are certain that Buzzard has won
his last race at the Ell Centre

remarked at a meeting OF local
drivers Tuesday at which they
discussed ways and means OF
beating foreign autos.
Wild Bill Ferguson hit upon the
idea of appointing one valley drlv-
er to run into the out OF town
cars. The meeting broke up, how
ever, when the drivers were unable
to decide which of them should
have the honor of crashing into
the invading racers.
A consolation race will be held
Immediately after the main event
in which all cars that failed to
place in the main event will be
entered. Cars that spin out in the
40 lap race will not be allowed to
re-enter that race but will be en-
tered in the consolation event.
Officials of the association hope
that this rule will eliminate the
great number of spins that have
complicated the scoring system OF
the races in the past.
