the mark made by Breeze with 115 pounds several seasons back Abadanes laurels were gained after a most grueling struggle in which he was forced to a quarter mile drive to withstand the rush of the lightly weighted John Paul Jones The lat ¬ ter looked like a winner midway in the stretch but Abadane never flinched while being punished with whip and steels and at the end the best part of his shapely body showed to advantage over the eastern thor Continueil on twelfth pise BLANC SEINGS FINE RACE Continued from first page oughbred In winning yesterday Abadano scored his ninth straight
