 Nat Ray and Harry Stokes each thirteen, and Wal- 

 ter Cox twelve, his leader being Walter Dear, the

In the matter of winning money, W. Leese of 

 Monroe, N. Y., topped the list. His first winning 

 mount in 1928 was at the Goshen mile track meet- 

 ing where he finished in front with Dewey McKin- 

 ney. The following week at Syracuse he won the 

 Hambletonian Stake with Spencer and the Wet 

 Weather track stake with Walter Dear. At Indian-

 he substituted behind Winnipeg and Contender 

 after Palin was injured in the Fox stake. Leese 

 made his last appearance at Lexington. At that 

 point he won the Kentucky Futurity with Spencer, 

 the two-year-old division of the same event with 

 Volomite, and a class race with Gilda Gray. Also 

 after the close of the meeting he gave Spencer a 

 time record of 1:59%, equalHng the world's record 

 for three-year-old trotters made by Mr. McElwyn 

 in 1924.
