MCLAUGHLIN. THE HUSTLER
To call Mclaughlin a hustler sums up IN one
word nearly all his projections as a Jockey. ihe
dictionary definition of this word is not nal oro'
enough. but the world does not have 10 go "
worcester or Webster TO learn it's meaning. 1t had
its development and proper application IN inc wiz
and vooliv region of our common country, aho

II was on the T. Y c. he made his name. Here
the English art Of waiting was disastrous eX-
pedient. English jockey, importations such as
Harvard Barbee, Feakes and Costello held their
own over distance of ground, but when 1t came
TO a dash of five, six or seven furlongs they were
hopelessy outclassed. Mclaughlin would have
the race won before they got fairly started. When
in the employ of the Dryers he rode
their two-year-olds at exercise and taught them
,ha or+ of gettjnp AWAY No matter where he
MIGHT he when the starter dropped his red flag,
he WAS Invariably in the lead at the end OF tho
first sixteenth. Then, having the field at his back
he would take gentle pull at his mount, coax MN
into his stride give him chance to recover Drea'h'
and in the homestretch come away an easy winner
with the field Houndering at his heels.
