Now a Pleasant
Memory.
PIKE BARAES'S PATIENCE.
Experiences Of Joe Thompson
Teaching Yankees How TO Bet.

The Handicap of oi Is now a thing Of the
past, aud nothing romaius hut pleasant MEM
ories-lf one backed the wluuer--and the sat-
ls'actlon OF having seen the greatest race ever
run In this country. It WAS great race be-
cause never before IN this couutry has such
large field OF starters ever run In Handicap.
PIKE Barnes rode splendid race on Tenny.
lie rode with great patience, ami his eoolness
was plainly shown when Teuny showed an In
clination 10 su.k. The black roy cool,y throw
away his whip, fearing ne might be tempted to
cut the swaybnck WIN 1t.
This one action dashed the hopes OF the
Snapper, who was ri.ht behind Tenny with
Prince Royal. When he saw Barnes raise his
whip as though to strike Tenny, he felt that
he had chance; hut when Barnes dropped
the leather thong. he knew he was beaten.
Tanny was an easy winner. He really out
classed all the Others, but he is q sulky brute,
and then that reputed lameness--thAt was q
stumbling book 10 many who wanted to back
the colt. The Suburban is now near at hand.
Who will win that classic stalker
Not long ago an Australian bookmaker, by
name Joseph Thompson, came over to this
country to show the Yankees how to bet On
the frst day OF HIS arrival he made q book and
laid M against game little Badge at Linden.
The YANKEES got all the money.
Thompson's latest exploit was to bet huu-
| dreds Of dollars that Tenny wouldn't be I-e-s
| In the Handicap. His oifers were snapped mp
eagerly by the Yankees, and By this time
thompson Is areat deal poorer than when he
came 10 this country.
