TWO TICKETS ON RED DICK.

The Owner Gave Them Away as Useless,
but Recovered and Cashed Them.
Two Paris Mutual tickets on winning
horse made quite journey at the race
track yesterday before they were cashed in
by the purchaser. The tickets were bought
on Red Dick by gentleman who had two
others in his pocket. These other two
we're on Draw SCOTT. and weren't worth
anything. Intending to discard the Braw
Scott tickets, the gentleman playfully
called little ''Sandy" Goodman and gave
him what he supposed were the worthless
pieces Of pasteboard. SANDY" in turn
passed them to a nan, who stuck them in
his pocket. A few minutes later the gentle
man put his hand in his pocket to see if his
tickets were safe. On looking at them he
found he had given away two tickets on 4
race that hadn't been run, and kept two on
a horse that had already lost race. He
hunted up "Sandy" and explained the stu
alton TO him. SANDY" found the man he
had given the tickets to, and who had
stuck them in his pocket without thinking
they were any good. He oheerfully gave
them back to the riRhtful owner, and when
the race was run over and Red Dick had
won, received the value of one of the tiok-
cts for not throwing them away as worth
less. 'Sandy" was not forgotten, either.
