Book Makers at English Races.

London Society.
The principal bookmakers have their
regular stations in the ring where they
may be readily foundEby their custom
ers; and as they stand there with a
pleasant smile on their faces, the old
nursery rhyme, " Ducky, ducky, ducky,
come and be killed." always comes for
cibly into my mind. A very clever set
Of men they are, and some Of them have
really intellectual faces. Most wonder
full calculators they are, too; the power
they have to tell at a glance how much
they have got in their books, and the
way they can subdivide the odds at 8
moments notice is most extraordinary.
A marked contrast to these great book
makers are the small would be book
makers, who rush all about the ring,
botheriDg anyone they see who has been
betting, or they think likely to bet,
offering the most absurd odds as an in
ducement. The first day of any race
meeting, these gentry abound, but by
the end of the week most of them have
disappeared, having retired, l su pect,
into the outer ring, and here rascality
does flourish: Strangely enough, in
passing through it, you seem to be ia
milisr with most OF the betting mems
faces, but you cannot at first remem-
Der where you had seen them previous
ly; when suddenly it flashes across you
that yon saw the most of these faces, or
their own clothers', in the dock at the
last criminal assizes or if you have been
over to Portland or Dartmoor prison, or
any of that sort of places, that you have
seen them there. How so many of them
exist seems hard to discover; but sus-
pect whenever they have drawn their
victims sufficiently, as they consider,
hey bolt before the race comes of.

In the London sporting papers Of
April Y the learned prophets who tell
the people how to bet their money did
not deign to mention Parole in connec-
ton with the Newmarket Handicap or
the City and Suburban. Previous to
the start on Tuesday, however, the
American horse was a prime favorite.
Wednesday Parole went to the front for
the third time, to the CONSERVATION of
the English. He won the Great Me-
tropolitan Stakes, about two and guar,
ter miles, with the utmost ease. Only
one horse started sgaint him, and that
was Castlereagh, by Spectrum. Parole
caraied 124 pounds. He is the only horse
that ever won in succession the New
market Handicap, the City and Subur-
ban, and the great Metropolitsn-a
striking fact We venture to say that
from this time out the turf critics will
pay a little more attention to the two
American stables in England. The
book.makers will have occasion to re-
member Parole for quite q while. At
first they laid the largest odds against
him, and consequently are badly bit.
Americans, naturally are jubilant over
the success of Mr.. Lorillard at New.
market. The campaign has opened most
auspiciously for him, and now the
thought again takes root that the horses
of the United States are not so inferior
to those of England as the persistent
takers have tried to make it appear.
10. Elliott, after going through the
racing establishments of Britain, re-
turned to New York with the convic-
ton that he had seen just as good horses
at home. He said to us at the time that
the English derived their main advantage
from superior training and riding. There
are so many men in the United States
who undertake the business of training
with little or no knowledge as to the
chemical properties OF food and the ply
siology of the horse that it is not sur
prising they should fail to make our
races appear to good advantage by the
side of those of England Our jockeys,
also, have much to learn. Our horses
are good enough; the trouble is in know
ing how TO train and ride them.
