Under the conditions of this allowance affair top-weight of 119 pounds is given Comet Meadow who races in the silks of Dr. C. N. Salerno a prominent St. v Louis physician. Judge Mac, a- surprise winner here last week, and San Andres, who has not won at the meeting, are- next at 114 pounds while the , others narrow down to Sangamon Girl, at 104 pounds, the only other non-winners at this session. The supporting number on the eight-race card is the. fifth at one mile and 70 yards and many winners since the start of the current session are scheduled to go postward. It includes Kidalley, Perfect Sweep, Bold Myth, Lady Pad, Busy Indian, Brown Ariel, Chicuelo Trust and Brill Lam. It was the intention of Klucina to stage a two-year-old event but because of it not drawing enough entries he did not program the five furlongs dash. Post time for the first race is 8:30 p.m.
