just that amount With me for reasons
which l need not explain TO the average
man who attends races aud goes far
astraY on some sure thing given him
by some one who knows il all. But here
is the table. and / will explain its work
ings for the benefit of those who did not
read the article published last spring.
"As you see, this has FIVE headings. The
first is the integral column. Then fol-
low the bet, the name of the favorite,
the losing column and the winning col
umn. The integral is five dollars to be-
gin with. The bet is five dollars, The
first bet losing, 1t goes into the integral
column, and the next bet is the COM
bined figures. A winning bet cancels
the two integrals which make the
amount of the bet as ia the case Of
Utica, the third favorite OF the day, and
the first winner. II Utica had
lost the bet would have gone
into the integral column, and
the bet on Clifford would have been $40,
the combined amount Of the last aud the
first integrals. In that case there
would have been no cancelled figures
up to the Harry Reed race, aud the bet
on the latter would have been SOS, Clif-
ford's loss and the first integral. That,
you see, would have meant SIS Of my
sos capital, leaving $50 for the sixth
race, that amount being the combined
last and first integrals. As ii was, Utica
won at four 20 one, when the invest
ment was only $50 in all, two losses and
the Utica bet.
"The win cancelled the John Cooper
loss and the first integral, leaving SIS 10
be put on Clifford, who, forced by the
pressure OF money into the position Of
favorte, was left at the post in the
fourth race, the Brooklyn Handicap.
This race, as you know, was won by DR..
Rice, and the second horse was Henry
Of NarVarre. game racer, who figures
largely in the system later on. This
gave the table another integral. aud
made the next bet $40. Harry Reed,
then owned by Gus Strauss, was favor
ite at 3 tol. He won, and the cancel
lation of the two integrals closed what
is called a SERIES" The total losses
being $50. and the winnings 800, there
was profit of $40, very fair start on
an experiment, for at the time IL SEEM
ed nothing more.
at must be borne in mind that the
better class Of horses had not had the
advantage of a preliminary season on
the Jersey tracks. as In previous sea-
sons, ana bettors generally were all at
sea as regarded form and performance.
Ii would not have been surprising IL
outsiders had won majority Of the
races in the early days Of the season,
but the reverse was the case. After
the closing OF this first series the first
bet was a SIS one. of course. No matter
how small the winning, or even II, the
prevailing odds being low, tho integral
figures are cancelled at small loss, s.
is the limit for the next bet. Marshall
carried this bet and lost. Now the days
Work had yielded So profit, aud the
next bet called for SO, as in the case
of John Cooper In the first series.
at was not as yet apparent that the
system could be kept going without a
large capital, though it soon became
evident that as only four favorites out
OF eleven had TO win 10 cancel seven
losses and the first integral, the test OF
the systems value as money maker
was TO be the particular way in which
the proportion was 10 be maintained. If
several favorites lost in rapid success
sion and one or two won just before an
other fair sized batch lost, It will be
seen that the bets would begin 10 grow
large. Later on l will show you dia-
gram which will Illustrate what l mean.
SECOND DAY FAvoRITEs.
In the meantime we will take up the
second day of the mee&ing. The frst
Gavorite Of the day was Gotham. He
