OF the horsemen, Herr, Hildreth, .Corri-

evidence in a betting way. Herr. who is
the betting member of the firm OF Durne!l
d Herr, or rather the firm itself. is cred
tied with having won over $l0J.O0O around
plunger among plungers here. and his oper-
ations in the ring have evidently not been
successful. The passing from his posses
sion of the great McChesney may be con-
sidered pr!ma facie evidence Of disastrous
season at New Orleans. Hildreth on the
other hand. was pretty clean when he
struck these parts, and he has won out
the $4,000 invested in John w. Schorr's
winter racing outfit. has added number of
horses to that string and has n nice bank
roll with which TO continue operations up
the line. A few weeks ago he was $4,000
ahead of the game over and above his in
vestment in the Schorr horses. and it Is
a reasonable certainty that none of that
has gotten away from him.

"A very creditable showing was made

circles. This city was one of the first to
organize woman's whis. club composed
of students of the game, and the city has
always been considered n national factor

prove that this opinion of their position Is

meetir- were present in considerable force
shown. 1t was recognized. however. that
ciubs contained but very small proportion
OF the women players of the city. and that
much of the success OF the convention
would depend upon the outside players.
In holding a meeting here, we expect
to draw much of our attendance from the
Pacific Coast In this respect. St. Louis is
In = most fortunate position. It is close
enough to the East to draw many delegates
from there and Is also within touch Of the

one convention shall be held in the West

present at the meeting and considerable in
terest was manifested in the outcome.
At this assembly. 1t was decided that Mrs.
H. G. Noel Of No. 1925 Gates avenue should
be appointed to write the National Wom-

to hold conveption here three years from

the convention in May. to be held in Chi
cago, and is certain of acceptance. as the
opinion of the national body is that the
meet should take place in this city in 1906
The fact that SO many players. uncon-
nected with any club. attended the meet
ing was taken as an indication that interest
In the event was widespread.
The meeting was opened by Mrs. Noel
who made a short address. giving a his

Womens Whist League was fashioned. She
