AND BOOKMAKERS WIPE OUT NAMES
on SLATES-ONLY ONE FA-
NORITE WINS.


voRITE WINS.
There several fiurries at the Aqueduct track
yesterday afternoon, but the most lasting discour-
aging and uncomfortable was the constant drizzle
of rain The furry in the betting ring caused some
comment but the excitement was only momentarv
and was forgotten before the third race had been
run There rumor that those who are irving
TO put a stop to betting at the tracks might visit
the inclosure during the day. Then the wise men
of the Metropolitan Turf Association put their
heads together and decided that it would be best
for day, at least. TO have each of the bookers
doing business in the ring TO remove his name
from his slate when the odds against the different
horses quoted. This was done and those who
wagered money their favorites were compelled
10 remember The face of the man with whom he
had made a bet In part of the Enclosure one
OF the lines of bOokmakers substituted numbers on
their states in place of their names, so that
stranger who made wager with No. 6. or any
other number for that reason. little trouble in
finding his man in case his choice chanced turn
up winner. Some people are of the opinion that
the number system might be adopted, and that II
would prove to be more satisfactory than the pres
ent arrangement.
The weather was about as disagreeable as usual
with ftering of rain falling of the after
noon and the track sea of mud Only favor
fte won. and that in the first race the
home coming of the spectators was sad and mourn
full. McCIinn, the jockey had arranged 10 ride for
