avenue butcher which read Sugar cured corned beef Glenmoyne Lennon opened at even money kbut but when the unaccustomed announcement was made in the batting ring Glenmoyne Lennon wears two bar plates a German bookmaker said Ah ha I smell a micos micros and went to 8 to 5 and his brethren finally car ¬ ried reid the price of Fosters old gelding up to 18 to 5 Meantime a strong play on Heigh High Ho cut hig Whig price in half and the Governor Sheehan money was put on in bunches Soon the Glen ¬ moyne monde money came and the 6 b 5 place and 11 to 20 show was rubbed first and at the post 2 to 1 straight was posted Ramiro II had always stood firm at 2 to 1 but now ad ¬ vanced vance to 2 to 1 There was more than the usual time allowed for betting and the signs around the judges staad stead threatened stormy weather but the horses finally came to the post and after some delay caused by the cavorting of Ramiro II a eood rood start was effected Heigh High Ho and Marzella Mazola opened a big gap at once so that at the halfmile half gound ground they raced paired several lengths better than Glenmoyne Lennon third he closely followed by Ramiro II Then came Governor Sheahan Sheehan many lengths away and Tranby Tabby and Winslowwere Twinflower notwithin untwisting speaking distance of the Governor Around the upper turn the positions wore the same and it did not look possible for Glenmoyno Lennon to ever got to the loaders in fact Ramiro II was lapped on to Fosters horse just before he swung into the home stretch and even money was offered that Laudemans Laundryman horse would beat Glenmoyne Lennon The horses behind were still badly strung out but Governor Sheehan showed to be done When Heigh High Ho struck tho thou straight J Reiff Riff took her to the inside fence and Marzeila Mazola soon died off Duko Duo and Wishards Wishers filly looked all over a winner at the final eighth she there being three lengths better than Glenmoyno Lennon who was swerving badly Ramiro

Tabby third the greatest astonishmeat astonishment prevailed as specta spectra CONTINUED ON SECOND PAQK PAK WINSLOW SURPRISES PEOPLE Continued from 1st Page tors torso in the grand stand along by the betting ring thought of course Heigh High Ho had lasted long enough to get the second money Everyone saw WinSlow and Tranby Tabby ploughing sloughing along through the quagmire and wondered which one had landed first at the wire as these horses ran home locked but no one dreamed that the pair had beaten Heigh High Ho A bet of 100 to 1 was offered without a taker that Heigh High Ho would be placed second and even after the numbers were hoisted bets were offered that a correction would bo made However Col Cool Clark is surely a man of good eyesight and when a horse is stopping badly he can virtually tand stand still which was probably the case with Heigh High Ho Taken all around it was one of the most remarkable of races and they do say that a horse never was seen to come from so far in the rear as did Winslow and land so close at the finish
