ome Big Surprises and a Won by Dr. J. Edgar on Walden:

Colossal Dividend Heavyweight, Mr. Springfield The third Interclub Meeting at Kiangwan on November 24 was a very enjoyable and quite successful affair. It was a great day for out riders, but, despite that, the racing was very interesting, The outstanding happening was the defeat of Apollo over a dis-Aance at which he is expected to do his best, Tt was not only a defeat but an utter rout and the fact of im carrying weight does not ex-Plain it. Either the pony was not condition, or else Quincey made 'A, mistake somewhere, That Coronation Eve won the race was not so surprising, for he was known to be an exceptionally fine pony (and the parl-mutuel returns will show that it was no secret), and the fact that the reduced the record by nearly 2 tec. excuses Apollo for not getting first, but Apollo also was beaten by Hetman, giving him 2 1b, and Pair Sport, to whom he should be able to concede a stone, The record is not official, full weight not being carried.
