The Profits Of BoOkmakers.

Racing in America is not In as good

of the racing world and break those
laws whenever it suits them. A more
idiotic idea never existed in the world
than that a man by persistent betting ana

probably be better and more IN their "a
Yor If the bOOk-makers regulated the odds
entirely according 10 the amount or mon

maker a certain percentage Tor MS ser

been said before, many book-maKers are
also horse-OWners and race-fdch-o"heis >
Under such circumstances il can be read

that bOOk-maker or an owner in league

speed and endurance. The book-maker
causes this horse TO be beaten repeatedly
by inferior animals. The race-going public
concludes that the horse is not nearly so
good as had been thought This convic-
ton having been arrived at, the book
maker puts him in the race: the public bets
heavily upon other horses, the book-mak-
er giving all kinds OF odds. so as

his horse. or the horse he controls, is cut
loose, and wins not only the stake or
purse, but all the money In the book.
The men who go into the business OF
book making are not. as rule. persons

TO satisfy the desires OF any well-regulat-

being too expensive.

Rushire.

Bushlre IS the capital OF the English pro-
tectorate In the Persian gulf Here our
resident lives who may be styled king or
the gulf and before whom all the petty
pOteutates along its shores, be they on
the Arabian or Persian side, bow down.
He has his steam yacht and steam launch
provided for him, a British man-of-war
is appointed TO be always in readiness 10
do his bidding, and the British residency
with its flagstaff and extensive COM
pounds is by far the most conspicuous
building I'm the town.
Bushire is a truly horrible place. built
at the edge OF a spit Of sand running out
into the gull It's population Is very mon
grel Arabs, Persians, HindOOs. are all
hopelessly mixed up therein. II has an
English bank. What with its English res
idency. English bank, English telegraph.
English steamers agents, and English
men-of-war, Bushire is as English as it
could be wished. Lawn tennis may be
seen upon its quays, ladies may play and
ladies may ride without mourning more
than an ordinary amount OF staring from
the Moslems.
IL is confidently asserted that II the
KarOun route is opened out into the heart
of Persia, Bushire will cease to be the
seat Of our resident, and the capital Of
our Persian gulf protectorate will be re-
moved 10 Fac or some other spot which
has not yet got a name. IL that time
ever comes, and Bushire ceases TO be the
chief outlet for the Persian caravan trade.
the place will not long survive, for II has
no professions whatsoever TO call Itself an
harbor. Big steamers have 10 anchor al
least two miles off land outside a sand bar
and II the sea is very rough landing is
next 10 impossible. Bushire chances to be
the outlet for the roads across the Kotals,
and If it ceases to be that, its reason
for existence Will cease also.-The Fort
