Damms good filly, Arab Actress was the most distinguished member of the local horse colony to be seen in action during training hours this morning.

Bogenschutz assigned Mrs. Damms homebred filly 117 pounds for the Fleming Handicap, fourth below Pomace, 125; Harry N. Eads Sir Mango, 123, and Hasty House Farms Argentine horse, Mister Black, 118.
