Fred Gebhardt ana His Horse
ENle

EOle.
People have learned to think of Fred
die Gebhardt as brainless dude, says
the Chica Tribune, but he is in some
of the ordinary transactions of life an as
tute and remarkably shrewd person.
This is particularly made apparent in his
connection with the turf. He is an en-.
thusiastic attendant upon racing courses,
and owns in Eole one of ithe best long
distance race-borses in the country, if
not In the world. Usually young men
with large fortunes who 60 on the turf
retire at the end of a few seasons in a
badly shattered condition financially.
Gebhardt has proved a marked excep-
ton to the rule. Instead of being
skinned he has assiduously devoted
himself 10 the labor of removing cuti-
Gle from other people. Gebhardt's latest
race-track recently. The circumstances
are these:
Some weeks ago Mr.. Pierre Lorillard's
horse Iroquois, that won the Epson
Derby two years ago, was brought back
to this country from England. a race
was arranged at Monmouth Park. in
which were number Of entries, at five
hundred dollars each, including Iroquois
and Eole. The race was won by horse
called George Kinney. Mr.. Lorillard,
smarting under defeat, at once proposed
to run the race again on the first good
day. 1t was done. The Dryers Of
Brooklyn made two entries each, Kin
ney being one of them, and Mr.. Loril-
lard put in one Thousand dollars on be-
half of Iro9uols and Drake Carter, the
last named animal having beer pur-
chased by him few days previous for
seventeen Thousand five hundred dollars.
Nobody expected any other entries, put
MIR. Gebhardt came lisllessly forward
and handed over five hundred dollars
to represent Eole. Most of the people
present smiled at the simple minded
young man, but he needed them not.
When the day of the race arrived Geb-
hardts horse was scarcely noticed in the
betting. People we're jumping over each
other in order to gamble on the chances
of lroquois, Drake Carter, or Kinney,
but nobody wanted Eole-that is, ex-
cept simple Mr.. Gebhardt. He valiant
ly backed his horse, now buying him
for two hundred dollars, in pool of
two thousand dollars, and again betting
one against eight with the bookmakers.
The race began. There were shouts and
cheers when Kinney and lroquois
began racing at each other. Eole
was not, apparently, in the struggle.
But about the time that Kinney had run
lroquois to stand-still, and raced
alons sside of Drake Carter at pace that
made that highpriced creature feel sick
at heart, the unassuming EoIe began to
loom up very prominently in the hori-
zon. He cantered gayly past Iroquois
and Monitor, whlsked BY Drake Carter
as if the latter had been tied to the
fence, and then. in the exuberance OF
his old age, dashed ahead OF George
Kenney. and won the great race in q
canter by four lengths, landing the
about fifty thousand dollars in bets for
the Young man with the high collar, the
tight pants, and the tooth pick shoes.
