LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
PLACE BETTING.-Recently two Sacra-
mentans made wager on the result of one
OF the races in the East, one betting that 6
certain horse would not get a place, while
the other was satisfied that he would. The
horse was third in the race when it came
off The gentleman who believed he would
not get place claimed the wager; his OPP
ponent asserted that he had himself Won
The matter was left to a local authority,
who decided that the horse did not get q
place The citizen who had bet on him
was not satisfied, and appeal was to have
been made to the New Y ork Spirit Of tie
Times. II seems, however, that a similar
dispute had arisen in Kansas City, and a
correspondent submitted to the Spirit this
proposition A and b make a bet. \
bets that Banana gets place in race of the
9th inst. at Lexington, Ky The result
showed Freeman first, Bonanza second,
Banana third. b claims he wins, as q
place IS only first or second. There was
no mention made in the bet about first,
second or third. Who wins? Define a
place AnsWer.-P laced horses are those
whose positions at the finish are noted and
officially announced by the Judges Racing
custom has established the leading three as
those who shall be thus judged and an
nounced, and place is either first, second
or third position at the finish. But book
makers and booksellers are accustomed to
offer odds againsthOr winning, or against
their finishing first or second. and the lat
ter style of bets are ordinarily called place
first and second positions. Thus, when you
Sheepshead bay last Tuesday, i to l Lee
treta 4 to l place it means that the
book-maker offered - to l that Letreta
would not be first, and to that she would
not be either first or second. Thus it hap
pens that a place sometimes means first or
second, and sometimes first, second or
third. If a man buys place ticket from a
book-maker, or in auction pools or mutual
pools, place means first or second, only.
But ii two gentlemen make a private
wager on placing a horse, and are not
thoughtful enough to say what they mean
place must be held TO include first, second
and third"
