The Quiniela on the first race amounted to a huge 185.40 while the second race Quiniela was 106.20. It looked like bank night after the third race when LaCrosse and Buper Tate came in winners = that go to return a Quiniela of 134.80. In the feature race of the even- ing, Fred Whitehead’s Rural Cou- sin, was a victor by the prover- bial nose over Hush Shane. Sir Mc- Kay took a wide second turn and wourtd up in the third position. Rural Cousin paid off 21.40, 7.20 and 4.40 while Hush Shane paid 3.40 and 2.60, Sir McKay returned 3.60 for show. : Tonight is Ladies Night at the track and racing Secretary L. L.
