Arthur Pickens and Johnny Callahan, two old-timers, put up a rousing battle for the leadership of the riding colony, and the former was in front by a small margin -when he encountered a suspension. Callahan has been taking things a bit easy because of the adverse conditions lately and he could have ridden in many more races had he so desired. ,T. Dawson has made by far the best showing of any of the apprentice jockeys here. The following riders have won one or more races during the first fifty-five days. Jockeys. 1st. 2d. Sd.Unp. A.
