The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1897-12-19

Strated that there is the nucleus of
good class of greyhounds in Montana.
AT least seven or eight have been de-
veloped that are fit to compete in any
company, with a good sporting chance
of winning.
The club has encountered the usual
difficulties that beset an organization of
the kind, but the most dangerous, the
question of finances, has been rapidly
overcome. With about 81. 100 subscribed,
they expended in the neighborhood of
81 900 before the park was thrown open.
They have paid running expenses, have
paid off the debt and so into winter
quarters free and clear. though proba-
bly, with d very small balance, if any,
on hand. This has been accomplished
only by the most rigid economy. No
work was paid for that the members
by any possibility could do, by which
means expenses We're kept down to al
most nothing. Needed improvements
have been left for the future. and al
most nothing in the way of added mon
ely has been given, the owners. in very
sporting spirit, having run for their
own money in all but two or three
cases. The park as ii stands has sew
eral faults.
The stand is none too comfortable,
though it answers well enough. The
bar should be enlarged in length and
width. Tie betting stand might be more
should be kennels built in which to take
care of thedogs between courses. All
of these are trivial, however, compared
to the faults of the running ground it.
self The water course which runs
through the field from west to east is
not so much of a disadvantage in itself.
but the little side gullies running into
il make a series of knobs and hollows.
in some of which latter the dogs are
often out of sight for a moment; these
could be graded roughly at compara-
lively small cost, and it would be an
immense Improvement to the park. The
escapes and corrals are perfectly adapt
ed to their purpose as far as they go,
but go hardly far enough. The escapes
should be extended across the east end,
so that, wherever a jack happened to
reach the end, a distance of over 700
hundred yards, he would be safe. Most
OF them reach ii somewhere near the
middle and are often killed in the at
tempt to run across to one of the es-
capes, which are in the corners, and are
something over 300 yards apart. An
alley 20 feet wide from corral to corral
along the south fence would make it
much easier to handle the jacks. They
could then be driven away from the
stand. instead of toward it, as at pres
ent, shut in the escapes and driven down
the alley to the southeast corral, from
which the best slip is obtainable, leav-
ing those not wanted in the alley. This
would ohViate the oft-recurring nuis-
ance of having hounds run themselves
to a standstill and ruin their chances of
winning by getting after stray jacks,
since it would be possible to sweep the
field absolutely clean. Besides, the

great interest i'm Butte and the city has
seen some marvellous matches. They
usually take place at miners picnics or
at the gardens on holidays.
Camping, hunting and fishing are of
course very popular forms of recrea-
ton during the summer and fall. The

Skating is the most popular sport in
the winter and is certainly growing in
popularity. for until a year ago ii was
not possible to make an ice rink pay in
Butte. Now there are two, both of
them doing We'll One Is in town and
the other is ON the Boulevard line, n
little out of the city. The numerous
people who enjoy bicycle riding and
miss the exercise when the cycling sea-
son is over. now patronize the ice Kinks

summer. Butte has splendid hills for
coasting, but this form of winter sport
is mainly confined to the school chill

Butte, but did not prove "A success.

Butte 5 Vear
In 9oursina

Sunday, Dee. II, witnessed the close
of the first season of regular coursing
IN Butte and, in fact. in the Northwest.
The sport was continued too late, as
after Nov. / the weather is too unrelia-
bio the last two or three stakes were
run under very uncomfortable condi-
tons. The season started late. the first
stake occurring ON July b This was
unavoidable. from the fact that the
park was not finished. and a supply of
iaCkrabbits was not secured until
shortly before that date.
This of course, has been in the ma
ture of a campaign of education: Grey
hound owners. the management and the
general public all know more about the
sport than they did. 1t has been dem
onstrated that there is no difficulty in
securing plenty of Jacks, and that they
can be kept in good condition in the
park At first il is doubtful if they
were fed enough. and latterly IL is GER
tain that they We're fed too much, both
of which circumstances tended to
shorten the courses. 1t has also been
demonstrated that the hottest weather
we are likely to have here is not too
hot for coursing. Only one dog evinced
any signs of suffering from heat; he
got a terrible grueling, which he was
not in condition to stand. and it Is like
~ that his lack OF condition was more
responsible than the heat for his being
overcome. 1t has also been demon

ments and races attract little interest
even among cyclists themselves. Few

over the fiat.
Fourth perhaps in its ability as Il
sport to arouse interest Is coursng. The
lovers of coursing have the past sea-
son acquired land adjoining the race
track and have built the West Side
coursing park, where each Sunday in
the summer and fall coursing is held.
The number of people who enjoy cours-

cities.
Lawn tennis has been steadily de-
clining in Butte as elsewhere, but there

ity he possessed as a pilot of 1.-The pom
les" In the far West he studied the
art of riding very assidiously, but even
last summer at Saratoga there were
many who did not consider him the
equal of Fred Tara1 or Willie Sims. and
again his swell clothes, his nobby hats,
his big cigars and the fondness for his
society of a famous comic opera beauty
gave him the great celebrity. He be-
came one of the features of upper Broad
way of nights, and when it was an
nounced that he was going to England
there were very many who thought that
he would cut but sorry figure on the
turf there when he would be brought
into contention with the supposed crack
riders of the world
Now all this is changed. Little Tod"
Sloane is the premier jockey of the
world and within the past fortnight he
has accomplished a feat on the Eng
loish turf unsurpassed since Fred Ar
cher's day. He rode four winners and
one second place horse in one after
noon. This is feat seldom accom-
plished anywhere, though Marie Bergen
has surpassed it in this country, he
having ridden all seven winners one
day at Gutenberg some years ago.
Bergen also holds the record of having
ridden a mile faster than any other
man that ever lived as he had the
mile in record time 1851.
Many years ago while talking about
racing with the late Governor Allen
sometimes called Fog Horn Allen,
and again Rise Up" William Allen),
of Ohio. he contended that if two
horses exactly equal in speed were rid
den by two jockeys exactly of equal
ability, one rider wearing a wooden
jacket and the other one of silk, the
horse ridden by the wearer of the silk
jacket would win, as the FRACTIONAL re-
sistance of the wooden garment against
the wind would be so much greater
than that of the sillxen one that it
would immeasureably retard the speed
of the horse. / think the secret of
Sloane's success lies principally in the
fact that his position on the horses
back offers the least possible resistance
to the wind. He sits we'll forward in
his saddle, with his knees forward and
well bent, his elbows resting on his legs
just back of his knee-caps, and with
his chin almost touching his horse
name. This seat looks very awkward
and constrained, but evidently this is
not the case in practice.
Sloane is only about feet / inch
tall, but in riding he manages to de-
crease his resistance to the wind by
fully one-third of his height above the

saddle when he sits erect. AS matter
of fact, at times he decreases that
height fully one-half. A race horse
which runs a mile in lao travels
is at the rate of thirty-six miles

One of the charms of bicycling on a
hot day is the fact that the speed of
the wheel makes a breeze" which
keeps the rider cool while in motion.
Most any first-class race horse now
adays can go a mile in 1:40. / would
like to see some mathematician dem
onstrate by figures just how much re-
tarding force Sloane avoids by his
crouching position on horse in a race
of mile or more in length. / warrant
the figures would be surprising. Here
is a problem which some of the smart
high school boys should undertake to
solve.
Though Sloane has been the most
successful American jockey that ever
visited England, and although he has
had the honor of plotting the Prince of
Wales horses to victory. his successes
have not turned his head. and his
heart is still true to his native land
Unlike some owners who have visited
England, he does not think first-class
racing there is any cleaner than it
is here. One thing is certain, the an
nails of the American turf contain few
or no instances of the poisoning OF
horses to prevent them winning a race.
OF course, it may be said that this is
probably due to the fact that so few
of our races are play or pay" affairs.
But even if they were / don't think

PREMIER OF JOCKEYS.
His Peculiar Style and Success Have As
tonished Britons.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Tod Sloane's successes as a jockey in
England is the principal topic of con-
yersation in sporting circles. He is be-
ing lionized in London and even the
jockeys of old Albion's Isle are fiatter-
ing him with their praises AS imita-
ton is the sineerest flatterv he is like
ly to reyolutioniZe the style of riding
not only in Great Britain. but on the
continent and in this country as we'll.
Sloane's peculiar style of riding
horse is an exaggeration of that first
introduced by Edward Garrison, more
generally known as Snapper CARR
son. The Snapper" had hardly a seat
i'm the saddle at all. In action he al
most stood up in his stirrups, gripping
his horse with his bent knees. His
body was so crooked forward over his
horses withers and neck that the at
tention was often called to his style
by the exclamation. See the Snapper
whispering in his horses ear" Willie
Sims, the great colored Jockeys style
Of riding is a modification of Garri-
sons. He is a great jockey too, but
neither he nor Sloane can ride "a fin
ish' that Garrison could. The Snap

weight, and when at his best if he had
fairly good horse under him the nag
that he s.collared" in the home stretch
had the devils own time if he beat
him to the wire. The great defect of
his riding was his habit of drawing
his finishes too fine" He would sooner
win 10y an eyelaSh or n nose than by
head or neck, and more than once he
lost a race he should have won but FOR
his propensity to make what used To
be called "a Garrison grandstand iin-
ish.' Such close finishes We're often
almost enough to give the hackers Of
his mounts heart disease.
Tod Sloane was hardly more than an
