NEW YORK. June 14.-'I've a system by
WEIGH can beat all the bookmakers on any
race track, )" said sporting man who is a
frequenter Of the race course to me re-
Gently.
"Wel, why don't you beat them then."
replied, "and become wealthy
"Well, you see, replied the sporting man
'this betting on a system is all very well as
far as making money is concerned, but it
does away with all the spirit Of sport,
and when there is no risk about it there
is not much pleasure in betting on race
horsesn
After little coaxing, this sporting man
told me his system, and, certainly, on
paper, it does look as though one must al
ways win. But how it works out on the
race track l will leave to some of the
patrons of the turf. This is the the system
as 1t was given to me:
Before playing the race, according to this
formula, one must make up his mind that
he is not going to be influenced by any
got ''sure thing" and ne had better have
a little of it; by any ''air tights" that be
may come across; and must always play the
horses that the system tells him to play, no
matter whether he knows there Is another
horse in the race that can run all around his
horse and yet win. In this system, the
favorites must always be played, and 1t Is
better before putting your money on to
wait until little while before the horses go
to the post. because very often the prices
against the horses change at the last mo-
ment.
The first thing to do Is to make up ones
mind how much he wishes to win on each
race. This must be settled before any
operations are carried out. Five dollars is
a good sum to start on. Five dollars on
each race would mean a profit Of $50 day,
which is not bad income. OF course the
system can be worked for a larger sum
than $5 race, but then it will require O
larger capital TO work It. To win IS a race
will require a capital of about $500.
After having decided how much the sys-
tenn is to be played for the next thing to do
is 10 set to work to get that amount When
the betting commences on the first race of
the day, the operator should carefully
watch the boards of the bookmakers and
when the market has fairly settled down
and decided favorite Is shown in the bet
ting, enough money should be placed upon
that first favorite to win the amount that
the operator set out TO win. For instance,
IL he decided to win SIS on every race of the
day and the favorite in the first race was
quoted at price five to two against, he
will put up SO to win IS. IL that favorite
wins the race, then the operator has won
his IS on the first race and starts in again
| the same way with the second race. II the
| favorite loses the race then the operator has
| got to win enough money through the
favorite Of the second race to give him the
| So he set out to win on the first race, the
amount of money be lost on the first race,
| and 50 that he intends to win on the second
race. II the favorite of the second race
wins, and he has followed this system. he
| will have got his IS for each Of the two
| races, and tho money he lost on the first
| race back again. Ii the second race is lost
| then on the third race, when the favorite
| has been carefully selected, enough money
| must beput up to win S. each for the first.
| second and third races and the amount OF
money that was lost on the first and second
races This method must be kept up until
| a favorite wins, and then begin all over
again.
In playing this system 1t is never worth
while to bet on q race when the favorite Ia
starting at odds shorter than seven TO five
on. In such case as that 1t is better to
let the race 60 by and put enough money

let go by. IL in the last race of the day the
favorite loses, then the system is to be car
ried over from that day until the first race
of the next day, and go on just as usual.
In playing the horse races according to
this system one must be absolutely deaf to
everything that is said or heard on the race
course, and must not know more than which
is the first favorte in the race. IL does not
matter if you are sure that another horse In
tho af haitian rlrfOa than tho
| favorite can beat the fayorite. In order to
win by this method only the first favorite
must be played, and by following the sys-
tenn carefully, good income can be made
every day from tue race track, and il prac-
| ticed throughout the entire season good
| fat sam will be accumulated for the winter.
| In order TO show how this system can be
worked have applied it to the first few
| days of the Brooklyn Jockey Club meeting.
| In the first race on the first day Gregory
was the favorite. The price quoted was 8
| to against, and, in order to win s., So
had TO be put up. Gregory lost, and on the
second race there was to be won S. for the
| first ace. SO lost on Gregory and So for the
| second race, total of Sl3. Eon was the
| favorite of the second race, aud, in order TO
| win S13, $40 had to be put up with the book
makers. Eon won, and consequently the
| SIS for each of the two races was won, ana
| the 80 lost on the first race. The third race
| was the expectation stakes. Sallfe McFar-
land was the favorite at 8 to l against; 80
had TO be put up TO win IS, but Sallie lost,
aud on the next race, the Brooklyn handi-
cap, for which Los Angeles was the favor
lte, 212 had to be won back. This
required IS, as Los Angeles price was s TO
against. Los Angeles lost, and on the fifth
race enough money had to be put up to win
50 lost on Sallie Mcfarland, IS lost on Los
Angeles. IS for each Of those two races and
IS for the coming race, total of s25 Lima
was the favorite and 5 to / could be had
against her, so that $5 had to be put up to
win $25. Lima lost. In the last race Of the
day Sparkling was the favorIte at to 2
against. Enough money had to be put up
to win s. lost on Lima, the s25 that
was wanted on Lima's race, and So for this
race. That made altogether S35, and at
the odds quoted $14 was required to be
placed with the bookmakers. Sparkling won
and consequently all the money that had
been lost was repaid, together with So for
each of the races. This summary will show
what was lost and won:
