LADIES BETTING AT HORSE RACES.
This has been an extraordinary season for
horse racing in New York and New Jersey, and
not the least among the notable things in con-
nection with it appears TO be a growing habit
OF betting among the ladies. who are said TO be
getting as bad as the English women who go
out to see the great races there. New York
correspondent writing from Coney Island about
the great races at Sheepshead bay says that two
out OF every half dozen of the ladies present
were betting, and among themselves They had
their portmonnaies strapped to their belts. and
they went at it In a very business-like way.
Dainty fingers cutehed big rolls OF bills, and
delicate lips artculated offers of odds with
great deal of glibness. At first the sight was
not attractive. But one grows used to this. a
to almost anything else.
