odds marked

This slate or board, as the odds marked
upon it indicate, shows that the book
maker has made Floretta the favorite, be-
ing willing to bet against that she does
not win, or l against 10 that she does not
finish first or second in the race. To bet
on that animal the bookmaker's patron
must give him odds. But on the next
horse, Axiom, the bookmaker bets to 5
against mis- winning, but only to against
him running first or second, and SO on. The
odds, it will be observed, marked in the
column to the left are against the horse
winning; in the first column to the right,
headed cd" against the horse finishing
first or second, and in the second column
to the right, headed I'D. against the horse
Showing that is, against the horse finish
ing first, second third.
AS has been already stated, the odds are
constantly changing, and are seldom the
same throughout the betting ring for five
minutes at a time, the specializing public,
in its changeful moods, throwing in it's
money on first one horse and then another.
The number of bookmakers doing business
at a race track varies considerably, of
course. On the big tracks about New York
City as many as no have weighed in at
a time: that is, have engaged in business
AS each one paid to the owners of the
track 800 day for the privilege, some
idea can be obtained of the extent to which
gambling on horses was carried on, and
the immense profits derived by the track
owners from the letting of the betting
privileges. Now, however, all that is pro-
hibted in the state of New York, and bet
ting is confined to what Is done by the
boollmakers and the public, or between
man and man.

| widely known for its protectionist teach
ings This club is made up of manufact-
urers, whose watchword is protection"
No tariff is too high for them. no rate of
duty charged on foreign goods too eX-
oibitant Its members are men who are
personally and vitality interested in the
tariff question and they are political pow
ers in the state.
The club members have always regarded
Mckinley as their Idol. Their choicest
eulogies and highest words of praise have
been his. Their annual banquet is the event
Of the Boston dining season, and Mckinley
has time after time been their guest. They
believe in him and in his bill. and for years
they have shouted for Mckinley and pro-
tection." AS an organization they are pow
erful in the republican ranks. They are
the men who furnish the party with the
financial sinews of war, and their advice
has weight, and their influence votes. If
they decide to make formal fight for Nc
ktnley they are likely to take several votes
away from the Reed column. What their
attitude will be Is not yet known. They
are not antagonistic to Reed. as far as that
is concerned but they love Mckinley more.
Gen. Osborne's influence.
Another factor in the Massachusetts stu
alton is Gen. William M. Osborne. He is
McKinley's cousin, and stands very close
to Ohio's governor. 1t was Osborne who
made trip through the south in McKin-
ley's interest during the winter, and he is
one of the accredited leaders of the McKin-
ley movement in the country. Osborne lives
in Boston. and what is more to the point
he knows Boston to it's every corner and
crooked street. For years he was police
commissioner, a member of a board that
has almost unlimited power in this city.
1t controls the police, attends to the grant
ing of all licenses and has a number of
special functions which make it political
power
Gen. Osborne was for years the leading
man upon this board, and naturally ac-
quired valuable influence and supporters.
He is natural politician and is capable of
doing good service for his cousins presi-
Dental campaign. Upon several occasions
he has shown his power. and now every ef-
fort will be made to swing the city con-
gressional districts into line for Mckinley.
1t will thus be seen that there are a num-
her of dangerous spots in the New England
states which Mr.. Reed and his friends
must attend to at once. This they realize and
have begun work already, and from now on
this section of the country will be the open
ing battle field of the great republican
presidential fight.

UPPERVILLE COLT SHOW.
The Famous Animal Exhibition of
Fine Stock in the Blue Ridge.

Washington has no horse show, although
there is probably no city of equal size in
the country that has more fine horsefesh.
The omission doubtless occurs the prin-
ciple that gives Texas such a bad name
for butter and p;ety, notwithstanding the
great numbers of cows and clergymen in
that bountiful state. The nearest this city
comes to having a horse show of its own
is the famous colt show at Upperville, in
Fauquier county. Virginia, the 18th and
14th of June.
This exhibition occurs in June each year
on the farm of Col Dulaney, known
Number Six" There the leading horse
men for many miles around assemble every
summer with their fine stock.
The show began as a local, and largely
personal. effort on part of Col. Du!aney
to stimulate his neighbors to bring out
other. At first 1t gave a Zest and excite
ment to the horsemen of the vicinity but
in year or two it came to be recognized
as an exhibition of really fine stock right
in the region where it was produced. and
lovers Of good horses now make the annual
pilgrimage to Number Six from all parts
Of the country. From Washington, Balu-
more, New York. Philadelphia, Boston and
Chicago they come to witness the thrilling
contests in steeple-chasing and show driv-
Ing. The entries include all sorts of horse
f1esh-from the diminutive little East In
dian pony to the monster Percheron.
1t is safe to say that there is no finer
horse country than is to be found within
fifty or sixty miles of Washington, espe-
cially in the Virginia counties of Fauquier
and Loudoun. The dry air of the noun
tains with the luxuriant rich, bone-forrn-
ing blue grass and wondrously pure water.
has produced some of the best thorough
breds and trotters known. And now, with
the revival of interest in the Hackney
family. so long leading. all-around animal
in England. these mountain counties of
Virginia are taking the lead in producing
them. 1t Was in Louloun that Matchless
of Londsboro was reared from his yearling
stage. Wearing the championship of the
United States at the same time that his
sire, Danegelt. is the champion of the
world. his colts in Loudoun have brought
this year fabulously good prices. To those
who want to see the Hackney IN his best
form and substance there is no better
place and time than the Upperville show.
Number Six is out from the village of
Upperville about two miles. 1t be
reached either by the Manassas branch of
the Southern road to Rectortown or by the
Leesburg branch to Round Hill. either Of
which routes gives the visitor chance for
bracing drive overland through the beau
tiful farming country that lies along the
eastern slope Of the Blue Ridge.
