betting and W P Ma grane grange his owner reluctantly placed a century on his chance the amount that he had on originally Frank Phillips said I got Billy to go back again although he was afraid Cay wood would split his sprinter wide open the first half racing with Our Gertie Erie Montgomery is a peculiar horse to ride and can win if he lays off the fiist fist part of the race Magranes Migraines fears came true as Caywood Cawed went out racing with Little Alarm a fast trick as far as she goes Our Gertie Erie stayed back three lengths behind the pair into the straight turning for which Thorpe brought Primate up on the out ¬ side and Laudemans Laundryman horse and Montgomery raced alongside to the eud feud of the grandstand Here tin pair were whipping to beat one another when Kiley Kelley brought up Our Gertie Erie on the inside while Tenole Ennoble came fast on the outside making a grand four horse race from the last sixteenth to the wire Our Gerties Vertices number went up Montgomery was placed sec ¬ ond bond and Primate third The only thing a man could tell from the grandstand was that Tenole Ennoble had quit close in and finished fourth Little Alarm hung on amazingly well for her Rosa Masso Mass came fast at the finish and was close up upMillie uphill Millie M ran in front with Hosi Hoi second and Prosecutor third up the back stretch At the halfmile half ground all the

quicknes quickness of time in dis dais ¬ posing of races in fact the first named track has the better of it because of the matter of declaring off bets in the fifth race Muskalonge Muskellunge was heavily backed but he was last at the first eighth and was never in it Col Cool ¬ lins liens took command but quit at the far turn where Sir Hobart always second went to the front and opened a big gap on Prince Blazes and Elidad Elided Into the home stretch Sir Hobart was galloping but tho thou road was too long and inside the last sixteenth he shut up allowing Prince Blazes to win but beating Elidad Elided who ran a suprisingly surprisingly good race for a horse thought to bo partial only to heavy going goingWhen gingham When Judge Gilbert representing Edward Corrigans Corrigan interest in

answered I did not like the betting and I think Caywood Cawed can ride your horse better than Mclntyre McIntyre I said to him Colonel a man ought to know best what boy to ride Mclntyre McIntyre has ridden Montgomery four firsts out of seven races and when he got him beat it was by a nose or a neck Still I had to take my medicine for I suppose if I had led my horse off the track I would have been ruled off the turf so I said Colonel I am in your hands I had shown him that I had a bet down and I went and bet a little more taking a chance that Caywood Cawed could ride my horse Now you see how he
