NEW YORK. N. Y, Sept. When
Californian sets out to do anything on
broad scale something pretty decent gem
orally results. A case in point occurred
at the Futurity race run last week at
Sheepshead and Marcus DAILY of Cali
fornia was present. He had with him
something like $4,000 which his miners in
the Anaconda district had given him to
place to the best possible advantage.
When the betting first opened the odds
were IL to and Mr.. Daily succeeded in
getting up the entire amount at those fig
ures on Ogden and then started in 10 get
his own bets in.
He sent four commissioners into the
ring with $4,000 and placed it all except
something like $4,000, which was crowded
out by the slumped odds.
Most of it was bet at an average of 6 to
with the exception of the pool made up
by the miners.
When the race came off Ogden, as was
expected by Daly's friends and Shelly
futile, came in at the head of the layout,
and Mr.. DAILY raked down something like
$l20, 600, $4,000 of which went to the
miners who had made the original pool.

time, and they regard Chinatown as the
most magnificent thing on earth. They
simply flock there in droves and look upon
the gaudy flags and tricolored lanterns as
perfect dreams of color. They gather in
knots all along the street and rave over
the prospect of having the decorations up
for the rest OF the week. BOB DAVIS.
