DIR. Delissiers System Well illustrated
Yesterday.
The ball rolls merrily on at the race
tracks. But nine weeks now remain
for Clifton and Gutenberg to enjoy their
winters good fortune, as on Wednesday,
May Is, the bell 'horses to the post" will
ring at the course of the Brooklyn Jockey
Club, Gravesend, and from that day out,
Sundays only excepted, every date has
been claimed by one or the other Of the
large racing associations in the States of
New York and New Jersey.
Meanwhile the Gutenberg management
expects to again eclipse anything done in
any country on the face of the globe. They
are the pioneers of winter racing. Last
year the flags went up on the Saturday
succeeding Mondays blizzard. This sea-
son they expect to be able to say: "We
have raced continuously throughout the
winter without one postponement; and
the goal is certainly within sight, as moth
ing short of a literal deluge of rain is now
likely to cause q pOStpOnement."
Racegoers never tire talking about the
glorious weather. 1t is the proper form of
salutation. Instead of "good morning."
when we meet each day, we say, isn't
this glorious weather." Then we go down
to the betting ring, count the bookmakers,
back our fancy, take seat on the grand
stand and watch the frantic efforts of our
horse to do every other thing in the world
but just what we want him to.
Every nook and corner of the Clifton
race track was occupied yesterday, save
the empty little holes in hungry mems
\ anatomy when the sandwiches and chow
der gave out. Thirty-seven bookmakers
and three boxes for those who most like
the Paris Mutuel system of betting. A
rough estimate would indicate nearly
4 200 people present. The list of starters
was not large; there were no really close
finishes, and yet the five races were thor
oughly enjoyed
Those people who have studied and are
using Dr. Delissier's system of How to
Win at the Races" which has been pub
lished by the Sporting World, were in
great fettle. The system is, in few
words, to always back the second choice
for place at the latest starting odds.
Keep on playing enough to win $5 for
every race played until you win, and then
return to your original bet. In yester
days five races every second choice got
there.n In fact in four OF the five races he
won outright.
AS / understand the system it would
have been necessary to play So on True
born for the first race to win 81; $40 on
Romance for the second to win So, and
thus even matters up; So on Ernest in the
third to win a. $40 on Steve StillweH in the
fourth to win IS, and again even up your
balance; and $40 on Long Jack to win So
thus giving you clear win of So on each
rae as required by the system, and 81 to
boo t. Meanwhile the highest amount of
one IS own money ever riSked would be 50
in the second race, which, with the 81 won
on the first, would be the stake played.
After the second race the speculator stood
on velvet"
This is the best illustration of the sys-
tenn / believe it possible to have, and can
scarcely be excelled during the season.
1t also proves DR.. Delissier's system
worth the consideration of hackers.
Jockey Taylor, who has signed with the
Dwyer Brothers, made his first bow this
season yesterday, and he pulled piece of
fat out of the fire that has been frying for
10 ng time, with Long Jack in the last
race The horse has been expected to win
for some time, and Taylors superior rid
ing made the expectation certainty yes
terday He was offered several mounts,
but declined, as he was anxious to win
with his first.
Brophy arrived at the Gutenberg track
yesterday with Melodrama, Fenelon and
other horses.
w. C. DAILY is expected daily at Clifton
with fresh string.
Several firms have started the bookmak-
ing business in Newark.
