A SURPRISE. The race track is all excitement. People fight their way through the crowd to the bookmakers, and deposit their money, many of them placing it on Denver Bay. Finally the rakes and brooms are called from the track. The crowd rushes up the stairways, and the next moment a splendid bay horse comes around the head of the stretch.
