of the day only three horses had a chance and they finished as they left the post Lady Ellerslie Wellesley Ferroll Ferro Lady Callahan The latter headed Far roll for an instant on the back stretch Sar

back stretch Afamada Alameda did not seem to have her usual speed Cherry Rose bolted and came in hard ridden by Bose Boise after the other horses were unsaddled unsaddledThere unsaddled There was a fellow once who had a black cat and he won many wagers betting that she was cherry colored For some cherries are black This sort of figuring comes in play when one is trying to place the horses Friday there started at Hawthorne in he second race Oelian Olin and Bethlehem Star both being posted as wearing cherry jackets Now the jockey on the former was arrayed in bright red the other boy wear ¬ ing

alike in conformation and color no man can tell which is which when they are running down the back stretch To add to the general confusion of colors owners an ¬ nounce enounce green dark green nile green bottle green as their colors and occasionally a man who formerly was connected with a cer Acer ¬ tain stain racing stable securing a badge horse for himself wears the old colors but varies them from white cap to white cap with a black peak Particolored Varicolored jackets are an eyesore to racegoers racehorse but the owner whose colors are halves caps the climax as his horse shows to be ridden by a jockey in yellow as he goes one way of the course and to be piloted by a boy in red as he turns around and comes back Solid and bright colors should only be allowed if the wishes of the laity are to be considered consideredStanton considered Stanton Tucker will sell their entire string of eight head of horses at Hawthorne Septem Septum ¬ ber beer 20 There are Isabey Isabel PaulKauvar
