gzaigman C Thirty-one jockeys eagerly waited for the starter to sound September 9th. This day had dawned bright and sunny and was just the day to hold a derby at DIercy Downs . W'hat a race? It was a photographic finish. The score- board showed that President , ridden by Shirley Klopp, came in first. that HVice-Presidentu with Betty Btlae Devine as jockey placed, and that HSecre- tary and rr'I'reasurer , ridden by Flargaret Lang and Atlary Jean Devine respectively showed. The Initiation Day handicap was not an easy race to judge, for all seemed to be riding Sportsmanship -the horse which led all the way around; There was the English Assembly race too, in which the jockeys were leaders of the literary chase. Colonel C expresses the anxious hope of these jockeys when he says that he wishes to the Seniors 0f ,41 all the winners possible in the future. Imj!
