Robertson Rides Five
Winners al Jamaica

By the Associated Press.
JAMAICA RACE TRACK, N. Y,
Oct. 9.-Veteran Jockey Alfred Rob-
ertson was virtually the whole show
here this afternoon. After riding
the first four winners on the card,
none of them favorites, Robby
missed with an outsider in the fifth
and then came back for his fifth
success of the afternoon astride
Paul Pry, paying $l2.70 In the fea-
tured Missionary Handicap, sixth on
the program.
Robby, who for many years has
ranked with the select riders OF the
country, was enjoying his best day
since an afternoon at Havana, back
in 1928, when he scored with six
out of seven mounts.
The American record for sweeping
an entire card is jointly held by
James Lee, colored pilot who won
all six races at Churchill Downs in
1907, and Herman Phillips, who, as
an apprentice at Reno in 1916,
duplicated that feat.
Robertson also had a double the
previous day, and as he won with
Cinder Maid in yesterdays finale,
his winning streak was stopped TO-
day at five straight.

cousin as the only wedding guests,
Miss Evalyn Washington Mclean
became the fifth wife of Senator
Robert Rice Reynolds of North
Carolina at noon today.
Even the 19-year-old brides closest
friends were not let in on the secret
until after the wedding, which took
place in the flower banked drawing
room of Friendship the Mclean
estate on Wisconsin avenue.
Just as the clock. on the grounds
of the estate chimed the noon hour,
the 57-year-old bridegroom and mis-
young bride spoke their marriage
vows before Judge Robert E. Mat
tingly of Municipal Court.
There to witness the ceremony
were Mrs. Edward B. Mclean, the
brides mother, and Munroe Lee, the
brides cousin. Standing in the door,
way were some of the servants who
had spent many years at Friendship.
Big Cake Arrives.
Judge Mattingly, who left the
mansion in the same cab that
brought three-layer wedding cake,
said he had followed the usual
routine in the ceremony. No special
prayer was offered, he said.
Mrs. Mclean, wearing the famous
Hope diamond, left shortly after the
Judge. When she saw the score of
reporters and photographers who
had guessed that the wedding would
take place today, she asked them If
1t was true Russia had been de-
feated.
Mrs. Mclean was wearing silver
fox jacket over a block silk dress
printed in blue. Four diamond
bracelets encircled one arm. Her
black felt hat was topped with a
blue plume.
The only guests" at the wedding
reception" were the newspaper
men and newsreel photographers.
Senator Reynolds, who had arrived
at the estate in his tan con-
vertible coupe 10 minutes before
the appointed hour, received at the
door with his bride and invited the
press in to drink champagne.
Wears Single Carnation.
The former Miss Mclean wore a
Hattie Carnegie street-length dress
of brown wool dotted with brown
sequins Instead of a corsage, she
had tucked single pink carnation
into the front of her dress. Her
only jewelry was a gold snake
bracelet which had belonged to her
grandmother
The bracelet was the traditional
something old" She said some
one had lent her handkerchief for
the something borrowed and a bit
Of blue ribbon for something blue. /"
She had also carried a horse chest
nut which her mother said was a
lucky piece an uncle had sent.
