easily be millionaire. and if one has
the temerity 10 say this he is at once
held in utmost contempt. There were
instances at the Hamline track yester-
day that might have been in Illustration
were it necessary. but every patron of
the track is now fully conscious of the
way things go as whole, and betting
is now much like throwing dice. There
were good things at the track, and the
lucky fellow was lucky indeed. Piccolo
was good thing, but had 10 monopoly
i'll this respect. Long odds, if you
placed your money in the earlier stages,
was great. and Sir Walter Raleigh for
some strange reason was a fine thing,
because no one thought he had a
chance. He sold at long odds. and the
good Judges made fine thing.
Who could nave fanced that Hopeful
was cut of it, is a matter for serious
conjecture. Hopeful has been running
well, and against the held that con-
fronted him, he sertainly should have
held the call. The weights were such
as could not harm good horse, and
still Power. rank outsider was heavily
played.
The patrons of the track are a little
afraid OF selling purses. They have
drawn the conclusion that some horse
owner is standing ready to run the win
ming candidate up TO big figure. and
that no one cares TO win under the cir
cumstanees, preferrng the place to the
purse. The result was, Top Gallant,
and it was not tie first instance in which
he had sold favorite, was let alone for a
time. but the tip became so hot that he
was played quite heavily. He had no
trouble III winning, and the scrub Ban
gum got the Place, with Woodbury.,
carrying good deal of money, third.
The last race was a walk-over. Maud
BIS runs in at least two events during
this meeting entitled her 20 the call,
and she was extensively played at short
CdGs. Peakness Lass was a tolerably
good thing for place, as the books are
made at Hamline, for it should be re-
marked that no one can do fair business
playing place horses. The odds are
made so close that there is little in it
even though you win. PeaknesS Lass
took the place. and the odds were to l

Lucille Mannette was greatly thought
Of. She had made at least three Splen-
did runs, and the opinion was that if
she could get the flag first no one could
overhaul her. She carried ONLY 10Y
pounds. while Sir Walter Raleigh had
an inpost of Il2. All this told in her
favor, and it Influenced the betting in a
large degree. She sold at Z to 10 and
Sir Waiter sold at 9 to 2. But Sir Wal

Lead at the first quarter. and he led the
party the entire distance to the wire.
