...parade before the race, the French four-year-old seemed lacklustre; there was a negligence under his sleek grace; and he needed a touch of the whip to bring him up to the barrier-a touch that made him sulky. Jockey Kummer, instead of Jockey Haynes, had the leg up and rode an adequate race except for that one rash touch. Away they went-a flash of silk, a huddle of bobbing heads at the turn, one, two, pulling away, animated toys all; then the stretch, the crowd ris- ing, a tatoo of hoofs-F. A. Burton's Wise...

We laughed too--just as long and loud as we could--but we fear the man next to us looked a bit skeptical, as we have faint recollections of having grabbed him violently by the left leg (merely for support, of course) after the first revolver shot had been fired. To relieve the general feeling of uneasiness in the audience further a soprano came out between the acts with "What Do You Do Sunday, Mary"--which didn't make us feel a bit better. She was rewarded with...
