He was uniformly unsuccessful rlght
through to the meeting at Saratoga, which
he attended. Nobody knew how much
to the bad he was then. but it was known
that he was pretty badly begged, M
matter how hani hit he was within. but
l stood beside him one day at Safatogsa
after a race when he broke into as tough
a torrent of laaguage as ever heard from
a mans lips. Z The horse named after nm
had Just wonthe second race OF MS cae zee,
at $50 to I. md the grain man, Tor the nrst
time since he'd got the horse bug, hadnt
bet a dollar on the colt. -,
THE tack was deep in mud, and the
sire Of This colt bad been a notorionsly
poor performer in heavy going although
the cot had never hitherto been tried out
in dep running and so the grain man
az well as the colts owner, kept OF the
little horse, Notwithstanding the enticing
price. II was when the little devil or a
horse that had been named after nm

He followed the plugs out, to California
inthe winter OF '9s and they peeled him TO

dollar 10 put down on a long shot.
He lost the whole works. including his
wife and family, for no other reason in life
than that in a misguided hour a man to
whom he had been generous had named
a racehorse after him.
There was a little old Irish woman out
in Chicago who. until about eight years
ago, had a rum and eating plant on South
Clarke street that the racing men used TO

quaintness and because they liked TO get
the old lady worked up to the point of black
guarding them for a bunch of 'tin-cint
gamblers. as she used To put II.
-She was a widow and pretty comforta-
bile. with a dwelling house here and a lot
there, and a few thousands at this bank
and another bundle at that one. with her
pretty daughters in a convent and every
thing going easy and on the bit, as II were.
when her husband Pat was alive and
used 10 sneak out to one of the tracks occa-
sionally TO slip a s. or a $40 on one
OF the horses. she'd all but bat him with
a bungstarter when she found it out. and
she was sure-enough sore on the horse
game, although she was pretty good to us
fellows. for all Of her roasting us on ac-
