Tbe path wasa queer one ard a casual observer c eing a jockey riding in front would be apt to qu-stlon hia sanity, so tortuons was the journey. Vandnseo, on Ubler in Jho sprocd race, was the ducoverer of tbe path and a great di-coveiy it was tco. Down tbe backstratcb it woud b-i to tbo beat advantage to go to the ex-tn-n e ontsidp bnt on the far turn j net before tbe ihree-furoDg post wbb re-cbed tht ayeti m was to t-hoot across tho truck nd hu tbn iu-siae mil until well straight ered awsy, then dart across to the outsidf -nd frim theie home thfrewasa nice 8Dd herd, though a n rrow, tboronebffcrs.
