A : ; . J. w. l. oliver does well in years racing with "small but useful stable i i In proportion to the number of racers campaigned, the stable of W. L. Oliver had more than an ordinarily successful season in 1917. Rut four horses carried the Oliver colors, and their combined earnings are 3,507. The star of the stable was Kewessa, winner of the Paumonok Handicap at Jamaica, and the Fleetwing Handicap at Empire City. Kewessa earned ,910. Ed Rond is second in the Olivet-list and Judge Wingfield third, both above the ,000 mark. Judge Wingfields winnings were given a substantial boost by his victory in the Pimlico Autumn Selling Stakes at Pimlico. He also finished third in the Woodstock Plate at Toronto. The Remainder of the stable winnings2u is credited to- the account of Rilly Oliver, which was named for the stables owner. This signal honor apparently was not an incentive to accomplish great things, as Rilly Oliver failed to finish first in one of the nineteen races in which he was a competitor. The money credited to him is the result of two seconds and two thirds. Carbide and Harper, two other horses in the Oliver stable, did not start during the year.
