A couple OF touts came together IN
the betting ring and were abou to en-
JOY themselves cracking one another :
noses. regardless of the law and order
so strictly enforced at the track. Spe-
cial Officer Kaltenbach, however, was
there. and. nabbing them, one In
each hand, he showed them through
the crowd and out of the main entrance
gate. Rowdv,sm doesn't go at the track
mot a bit of II.

Old Bill Howard is a faithful cam

on this circuit. Jockey Sullivan made

in front of Black Cap.
Rubicon can do better when ridden by
a trained jockey.
A lumber of horsemen were talking
over the false breakaway by which st.
Aloysius lost a good thing, and about
Jockeys in particular. when one gentle
man. a recognized authority on such
matters. remarked: 1T does seem as
though a good majority of the jockeys
riding at this meeting get the blind
staggers as 500 as they leave the post,
and l think that a fine or two under
their belts would tend to keep their
eyes open so that they could see where
they are Poing. Such a proceeding
would operate to prevent, i'm a measure.
the accidents which happen nearly
every day. I will say that unless these
reckless Jockeys open their eyes at inn
portant times, a fatality of large pro-
portions is going to be chronicled."

gedness, the second for their liberal
ity n independence. To a newcomer.
however, the climate is execrable. l
do not wonrser that Charlie Stiles here
met his death, for the sulphur in the
air chokes one. and II can easily be seen
how an incurable throat disease can be
incurred by a BOOKSELLER. Our business
is fair. as we sell SIS. 900 auction and
S25, 900 French pools daily, and yet has
not arrived that marvellous monthly
pay day, when to the miners is distrib-
uted $500, 600. When we get a crack at
that, business will go humming. Dc
you know that here by law the mini
mum pay is s2 per day? Well, such is
the fact. and consequently everybody
has money! Breeder and Sportsman.
There's another excellent card out for
TODAY.
