AUCTION.

Auctioning is the other system in ope-
ration. After the names of the starters
(the horses that start in a race are posted
on blackboard the auctioneer climbs
on barrel and says Glow much, gen
tlemen, am offered forthe first choice ?"
Somebody offers S25, and the bids will
run it mp to SlO0 probably. The second
choice will be bid on till it gets to $50.
The third choice will scarcely bring more
than 325, and the fourth choice about
$50. Scarcely anybody wants a fifth
choice so ali the horses not chosen will
be put up as "the field,' and bids on
these will run the figures to $50. All
these amounts aggregate S245-t the pool.
If the frst-choice horse wins the man
that bets highest on it gets the S245, less
the 5 per cent. auctioneer's commissions.
If one of the horses in the "field " wins.
then the highest bidder on the d" field "

1.-THE FRENCH MUTUAL.

The next popular system in vogue is
called the " French mutual, and is very
simple. Say there arc five horses in the
rac6-Bard, Firenzi, Volente, Egmont,
and Terra Gotta. Ill these bets are "to
win, none for "place." One man will
come up and bet s. that Bard will win,
another. maybe, will bet $40 that Firen-
II will win and so on till finally there
will perhaps be ten bets on Bard and
twenty on Firenzi, &c. Suppose the
amount in the pool is $500 received
from all the bets, and The Bard wins,
; per cent. dealers commission) is de-
dncted from the $500 and the S475 is di-
vided between the ten bett-rs on The

The reader will notice that there are
three columns. The first is headed to
win. which means that the horse must
come in first. "Place means that the
horse may come in first or second. The
figures under "To Win b." show the odds
that the dealer will give on any horse
For instance the dealer bets 81 against
81 (even) on Bard he bets 81 against
g. that FirenI will not win s. against
81 that Volente will not be first -
against 81 that Egmont will not come in
ahead "a against 81 Oh Terra Gotta S8
against 81 on Banburg, and Sl5 against
81 on Swift.
The fguresunder place "haye similar
significance. The dealer bets 81 to 50
that The Bard will rot get "place -
4. e., come in either first or second 81
to S. that FirenM will not he first or
second: 81 to 81 that Volentc or Egg
mont will not lead or have second place
and 81 to 81 that Swift will not be first
or second.
II you win you receive not only the
odds, but the amount put up. Suppose
YOU believe that Banburg will win and
you back your belief by 50 against the
dealers Si0or "8 TO to win" If Banburg
comes in first the better hands his ticket
TO the cashier, who pays him $40.
In this system the better always knows
what he will win, provided the horse he
backs comes in first. In other methods
lie does not.

HOW THEY ARE CONDUCTED.

A race is set for o'clock. BY twenty
minutesto2 9 all the jockeys have weighed
out III the clerks Office. At ten minutes
to ? the saddling bell in the judges
stand is rung. This means the horses
are to be saddled. Five minutes before
2 a second bell is rung as a signal for the
horses to be at the post. About this
time the starting bell rings to tell the
starter it is time for the start TO be made.
The Judges are in their stand, and the
timers are in theirs, and the starter
takes his box which, for reasons which
will be explained, is about twenty
Yards behind the starting point.
He holds in his hand red fiGg, The
Jockeys, whose relative positions have
been decided by lot, mount the horses
and canter to the post. The assistant
starter, down the track about hundred
yards of. holds red hag-a large one
and when the horses appear he holds 1t
UP. As the impatient steeds prsnce up
the starter shouts break, and off they

eye on the starters flag, and If it Is low
cred as the horses speed on he knows
that the start was good one and lowers
his flag. II the start was not good-lf
some impetuous animals rushed ahead
of the others-if all were not abreast as
they passed the starting point-the flags
are not lowered aud the jockeys seeing
the flag raised ahead of them know that
they must turn back Tor another start
