NO MORE FLIP FLAP FOR LANGDON. "Better have a bet on the mare," said Jack Rennet to Qcorge W. Langdon as Flip Flap was being saddlcsl for last Thursdays Westminster Handicap. "She is better than ever and you will be wanting to buy her again after she wins." "Not me." answered Langdon. who. it will lie recalled, purchased Flip Flap after the filly had won Ihe advance Stakes last summer and incielen-lallv brought home a good -wager for Mr. Langdon. The mare cost Mr. Iingdon 4.KX . but she lost her form after.ward and it turned out to be a bad investment, Mr. Betinet buying her back last winter at a greatly reduced figure. "I hope she wins for you. Jack." continued Mr. Langdon. "and Ill root for yon. but Ill not bet. and if I buy her back ir will be from my change jiocket and not with a fat check."
