that these pous men permit Illegal gambling
Jockey Club tracks? And they do permit illegal
gambling Jockey Club tracks. why can't they
take some pains TO that the gambling is not
done with loaded dice? The stewards seem to be
too feebeminded to check the schemes of turf
jobbers Why Pittsburg Phil Hildreth Taylor

Brighton. suffered flourish without bar or bar
Tier? Shaw's riding in several races has been
so plainly backward that Shaw should be put
on the shelf But Pittsburg Phil is behind

Bnd his jockey and his political pull. They know
that could possibly start with a few dollars
Of capital in the Pittsburg poolrooms and run that
capital of few dollars up fortune of hundreds
OF thousands of dollars turf gambling by methods
that would bear the close scrutiny Of board of
bishops Yet the stewards turn green with fright
at the thought Of calling TO account Pittsburg PM

whisper of political pull floats on the breeze the
knees Of the stewards knock together like castanets

IS a master. Mr.. Whitney spread before Hildreth
mines OF gold and Hildreth worked the mines as
well the mint. Mr. Whitney bought all the
horses that HiIdreth told him buy. OF course,
Hildreth got commissions from the men who
sold horses TO Mr.. Whitney. Oh, no! Hildreth
