a certain winner She re ¬ tired almost at the head of the homo stretch Teulada Tequila the second choice was green at the post She jumped up and down when asked to break and got off so badly that she was pulled up before going a quarter quarterFlorouso quarter Florouso Flores was much the best of his company in the second race He was shut off in the back stretch and had to make three distinct moves to win Half way around the turn he dashed through one opening Near the furlong post another spurt brought him through into second place Then he challenged Topmast and beat him himMiss shimmies

colt was to blame but spectators who bad a good view said Gray was the offender For nearly seven furlongs Dave Waldo Weald galloped in front with his mouth wide open Coming into the stretch he swung wide The first sixteenth of the stretch he came along swinging Halfway down Gray turned in his saddle and looked back on the outside Seeing no horses there he quickly turned the other way Then he saw Barataria Barratries and Graziella Grazie lapped and responding to ener ender ¬ getic ethic riding When less than a furlong away Dave Waldo Weald crossed to the inside His left flank bumped against Baratarias Barratries right shoul should ¬ der deer throwing him against Graziolla Granola Both came near going down particularly the filly on which Rose finished out of his stirrups Waldo Weald then went on and finished an easy win ¬ ner near In all probability he would have won easily had he been kept straight Before the horses had been started back toward the scales a crowd gathered around the judges stand There was a slight demonstration The boys were called into the stand Gray said ho hit his colt with the spur and the colt swerved The judges gave him the benefit of the explanation and did not punish him The colts owners and backers suffered for he was disqualified and the race given to Barataria Barratries BaratariaThe Barratries The last race furnished a surprise Time maker and
