race for large amount, and lost
He made one or two other bets that day
which went wrong, and then left the track
He came to the village and took the first

cousin to meet him there.
When he did not settle after the races
on Thursday. and did not appear at tbs
track yesterday or to-day. the bookmah srs
began to inquire after him. Thea t.ey
compared notes, and their representatives
said this afternoon that the amount for

is little over S3O,O0D.
Technically it is not a case OF welchins,
because no demand has been MADE tor
payment of the Losses, and hence there has
been no refusal 10 pay. IL is probable,
however, that payment would have been
demanded to-day had the young man been
