jug" today-if the Delaware Coun-
ty Fairgrounds half-mile track
dries out.
The oval was in better shape

ing late Thursday as a near-cloud-
burst washed out the three-year-old
pacing classic after Wilmington S
Star, a rank outsider in the classy
field, had romped off with the first
heat.
More rain fell Thursday night,
and the forecast called for showers
today, SO the richest sidewheeler

cided until Saturday.
Everybody laughed three days

patrick, Wilmington Stars trainer,
told one and all that his charge,
owned by r. L. Craig of Urbana,
