bah Jove! "

In winning the annual Carolina Flat
Pace, a five and half furlong event and
the feature of this week 's meeting of the
Jockey Club, Lady Betty, owned by G.
' -Nibbs, the Calgary horseman, and nicely
handled "by Tommy Wright, ran the dis
tance in 1:08 1-5 and achieved double
honors by reducing the former track rec
ord of 1:08 2-5 made earlier in the sea
son. Lady Betty was opposed by a field of
the best sprinters here, but it was her
day, and after taking command with the
rise of the barrier she never left the re
sult in doubt and won by a comfortable
margin over Machere, Mary G. and oth
ers. Joe Milner was the one to offer
early contention, but he soon found the
pace a trifle fast and retired in favor of
Machere. ' The latter raced courageously
and followed in close pursuit but could
never get to the flying leader and second
money was her lot. Mary G., who is
usually a front runner and from whom a
better showing was expected, was away
in a tangle and did not settle in her
stride until the greater part of the jour
ney had been traversed, hxxt she came
with a terrific burst of speed in the last
eighth and nosed out Wasseou for .show
money.
Nat Hurd's consistent racer, Uncle
Sand, had things all his own way in the
seven furlong event and easily accounted
for first money from Troben and High
Olympus. There was a slight mix-up at
the barrier m which High Olympus suf
fered most and was awray to such a be
lated start that he was never a contender
and trailed the field all the way through.
Troben, who finished second, came in with
a portion of the barrier streaming from
his bridle.
Mike Kelly, owned and driven by Bal
land, gave a good, account of himself in
the Class A. trot and won first money
from Miss Peter Toddington, Whipcord
and McAlcryon. Mike took the first two
heats in succession and seemed to out
class the other starters, but was out foot
ed in the last heat by Miss Peter Tod
dington, which won her second money.
First and second money in the Class B
Pace was divided between Tom H. and
Bingen Gentry as a result of each finish
ing first and third in the two heats run.
The Coddington stable turned loose a
good one in the steeple chase event and
sprung somewhat of a surprise wrhen their
Subject won that event from such good
ones as Ray-0 '-Light and Kate Glen.
The race was over the eight-jump course.
Popover, owmed by the Glenoe Stables
and ridden by Snyder, sailed to the front
and threatened to make it a runaway af
fair, but after one turn of the field had
been made he tired badly and dropped r
baek,,.to.last place and was a distant
trailer to the last jump where Ire stum
bled and unseated his rider. Subject,
who had been running in second place,
then came on to a comfortable .victory",
over Ray-0 '-Light and Kate Glen who
finished in the order named
Time: 2:291-4; 2:29 1-2; 2:28 1-4.

The Capitol guides in Washington
have a hunch their business is going to
pick up under the new administration.
"It has been pretty slim pickings this
winter," one of them said. "The tour
ists haven't been hitting nearly as live
ly a pace here as they used to. But an
era of prosperity for Capitol guides is
just about due, unless we all miss our
guess. '

"Sir Roger knows my humor and allows
me to sit up or go to bed as I please, to
have my meals at his own table or in my
chamber as I see fit, to sit and say nothing
without bidding me be merry."
