The bookmakers made a killing yes
terday. Not favorite won. and they
reaped bountiful harvest. The talent
and those who have an aptitude for
picking up track tips were in mourning
last night. They had speculated and
they had lost, and the bOokies had
profted. Cheppo probably was the big
gest winner of the day. When the bet
ting was on for the great Carnival
stakes. with only three colts in, the
bookmakerS changed and shifted figures
with uncertainty and doubling. A great
deal of money had gone in on Carlsbad
for two reasons-for his grand perform
ance in beating out Yo Tambien and a
great field on the second day of
the race, and because the odds
on German, the favorite, were rs
to 1OO The people were deeply
interested in the race, and they wanted
to intensity the feeling in order that
they might enjoy the sport only as a
man with money at stake can enjoy it,
and plunged on Carlsbad. None thought
of accepting the offer of 6 to l against
Newton, however. True, now and then
some one would place little money
there Just for the fun of the thing.
We'll, there came lull IN the storm.
Those who fancied Carlsbad had ven-
tured about all they cared to, and things
became monotonously dull in the bet
ting ring. ChepDo took his sponge, and,
wIping out his German odds of rs TO 100,
placed up to 5. Then the ring was
carnival. A tremendous rush was made
toward him. Toes, cOrns, buniOnS, ribs
no portion of mans anatomy was re-
spected by the almost frantic
crowd. The air was thick
with hands well filled with
money, and Cheppo started the per-
spiratiOn in taking in the bills and pass
ing out the pool tickets. He couldn't
stand this sort of thing very long. He
was visited by spasm of alarm and he
wiped out the figures and returned to
IS to 100 again and all was quiet once
with a vain hope of hedging and he
called out his liberal odds in stentorian
tones, but no one was enticed and it
was with suspicion that he was largely
out that he saw German dashing on
down the back stretch, around the turn
and into the back stretch with a good
lead, but his grave expression gradu-
ally relaxed into an excellent smile
when he witnessed NewtOn'S wonder
full run down the stretch to the wire.
The Carnival stakes was the feature
event. They were worth S2,4S0 to the
winner, and German, with so many
wonderful achievements to his credit
this season, was sent here for the sole
purpose OF carrping off the money. He
would not come and help out the inter-
est in other two-year-old races, but he
thought he saw snap in this. Carls-
hoA xr,bn boA VI Tom
bien, had also been saved for this strug
gle, as had Newton and Chief Justice.
The latter was scratched, and ireland
Bros. did not decide to start their colt
of Billet-Vassar lineage until yesterday
at the track. Hence mis- name did not
appear on the programme. 1t was
sensational finish, and 1T was won easily
at the very end by Newton, and the
people were dumfOunded. The time
was fast for two-year-olds, indicating
that not an instant had been lost i'll en-
comprising the distance.
Mary G was another great surprise.
Although the bOokies would only give
2 to l against her, no one thonght her
good thing. But she won in a canter.
Comedy and GlOckner were sore diSap-
poinImentS.
Kindig had little trouble in beating
out an Interestingly close handicapped
field. 1t was the third race of mile
and furlong. Cor1inne Kinney was
the favorite. This was a selling race,
and the owner of Corrinne Kinney, r.
f. Arnold, ran up the price of Kindig
from 81, 100, at which he was entered, to
S1,5O5, thereby increasing his purse by
just s202.50. Senator O'Brien bid in his
horse at that price. losing his purse and
something besides.
The attendance was considerably
larger than on the preceding day, and
the track was in good shape. 1t was a
good days sport as whole, and the
spectators were delighted-exceptW with
their attempts to beat the books.
