ursroaloAl HORSE RAclNo.

Fabulous sums Won by Some old-Time
"PIungers."
II is quite probable that there are
lust now no men who gamble quite so
heavily, except in stocks, as did the
''plungers" in the early part OF this CEN
tury, saws w. B. Curtis, in Forum. There
were in England dozen men who MADE
$3.50. 600 books" on the Derby alone,
and as late as 1856 a "bookmaker oet
$500, 900 to IS, 900 against each OF three
horses in one race. In 1S4S the owner
of the Derby favorite backed" him
publicly to win s75O,oOo, besides the
amount of his private bets The ring
of "bookmakers" paid to one circle OF
bettors million dollars when Leo
t,1rer won the Cesarewitch- The owner
of more than one Derby winner col-
lected $500, 900 on the next settling day.
and in several other years would have
pocketed a million if their colts had
been first past the post" Mose
men who now have the money
and the nerve" to make such enor-
nous bets have given up horse
racing in favor of game which has
still higher possibilities, and instead OF
wagering 100000 on horse ana cali
ing it gambling, they deposit the same
amount as margin" in stock specuia-
ton and call it business. Although IN
dividuals do not lay such heavy wagers
as were sometimes made by the ''plung-
ers" OF old, much more money is wagered
now than was risked fifty years ago.
The difference is, that while then one
man bet 500, 600, now ten men each oet
SIC. 900, and the total amount wagered
is doubled. OF single bets made on
American horse races the following IN
stances are taken from the records:
Hauchton bet Walton $4,000 to Sl,OOo
against Girofe: Haughton bet Kelly
$50. 600 to s., 600 against Henlopen; Ap-
pleby & Johnson bet P. Lorillard 81, ,oou
to SO, 600 against Pizarro and S25,oOO 20
S.. 900 against Leo in the same race. IN
each of these cases it is probable that
the owners risked ten times these
amounts on each of the races, as the
bets above stated were only made with

nearly one-fifth OF mile, will require
two minutes. The lower part of the
