t SUFFOLK DOWNS MOTES 4 -. Managing director Wilson calls attention to the fact that reservations for boxes and special sections of grandstand seats for the holiday racing of July 4th, are being taken so rapidly that if one wishes to be assured of a seat on that date reservations should be made at once. A crowd of at least 50,000 is practically assured for next Saturday and seats will be decidedly at a premium. Harry Brusie, twelve-year-old son of the well-known trainer Lyman Brusie, is a modest but real hero. The boy recently rescued a companion from drowning while swimming near Hartford and in so doing, badly injured his own leg. Harry is a bright, alert fellow who expects some day to be an even greater trainer than his father. Jockey I. Anderson, who is at present runner-up in the competition for the 00 watch to be given the leading jockey at the end of twenty-six days of the meet, practically removed himself from competition when he flew to Chicago to accept mounts for several days but as he left he remarked, "Just bring me back a week before the contest closes and I will try to catch up with them." Robert Denning Lewis, vice-president in charge of public relations for the Laclede Gas Company of St. Louis, was a distinguished v!itor at the track Monday. Many years ago Lewis and Floyd Bell, now publicity director at Suffollr were reporters on the same newspaper in St. Louis and this was the first time they had met in several years.
