WAS JUST LIKE
STEALING MONEY
Many B~ookmakers at Bennings
Refused to Return Bets on

Is to max rules that will deal wish
conditions such as arose in the third
race Mt Bennirgs yesterday, The gell-
ing Einus was on the card as a start
er. and Miles weighed out TO ride him
After betting had begun In the ring !
II wes. found that E.nus was not at
the track. He was stabbed at a near-
by farm, but through some mistake
was not sent to the paddock.
As soon as 1t was learned that he
was not at the track word was sent
to the ring. and Jack Adler announced
that Einus was a doubtful starter. |
Later the gelding's name vas taken
from the jockey board. Some OF she
lsyers-nany OF them. In fact-how- '
ever, took advantage Of the rule whl,n
provides that all horses ere TO be con-
sideied starters after their numbers aro
posted on the Jockey board, and con-
tinued to take in money on Einus after
the announcement. There we're many
who, after they found that the horse was
not at the track. failed to return me
people the money bet on Einus.
Proceeding Condemned.
There are no words strong enough
TO condemn such a proceeding. Here
The people had absolutely no chance
10 win. Some of the bookmakers had
by n himsy pretext refused TO return
money they had no right to keep. II
was unjust. unfair and ~untenable. and
II does not reflect well upon an aseo-
citation like the NJ. r. A Rules 10
meet such conditions ought to be framed
at once.

There was some CONSERVATION among
raSe-goers at the track yesterday when
the police patrol wagon came changing
up the road at a fast clip. Great was
me surprise when President Howla7d
and Mr.. Hitchcock were found seatsi
In the midst of a bunch Of policcm IN.
Rumors of n raid on the track were
spread about. but they were quickly
suppressed when 1t was learned that
Messrs. Rowland and Hitchcock were
the guests OF the police and not pris-
oners. 1t appears that the gentiemsn
took a trolley TO the track. and when
the journey was half completed the
car broke down. Meesrs. Rowland and
Hitchcock alighted n just then the
patrol happened along. The lieutenant
Ia charge volunteered TO give the turf
men O lift, and they enjoyed a novel
rido to the course.

years ago. at the spring meeting at
Benninss. that in Robert Waddell he
had the winner Of the American Derby.
He laughed to scorn an offer by
Freddy Brew Of 1850 for the horse.
The crowd laughed at Bradley for the
idea OF associating Robert Waddell
With the classic American Derby. New

was run. the telegraph wires TO all
