FASCINATION OF BETTING.
Is All in the Love of the Excitement
Of the Game.

~ 0N N@NA
Speaking of the strange fascina-
ton Of betting on horses reminds me
of a rather interesting incident l
witnessed at the track the other day."
said an Observant man to New Or
leans Times Democrat reporter,
''and the incident really gave mt a
fine glimpse Of the real motive in bet
ting in at least a majority Of the
cases. 1t shows, too, that the Ounce
may sometimes play in the role of the
sage, and as quickly lose his laurels by
taking the so-called wise view Of the
situation. A man well known down
town, and who has a delightful
French accent, had gone out to the
track for an afternoons pastime.
He knew nothing of the game, and
made up his mind that he would play
on the greenhOrn's principle, that is
that his wager would simply mean
one chance out of a given number.
For instance, with seven horses post
ed on the board, he figured that he
would have one chance to win, and
six to lose, without any sort of con-
sideration of pedigree, records, odds,
and all the odds entering into what
the experts call form. So much for
the status of the bettor. He found
a horse posted at 20 to l, The name,
the odds, or something about the
event appealed to him, so he bet S.
on the 20 to l shot. He mentioned
the fact to several friends who were
supposed to know a few things about
horses, and they told him very frank
ly hal he was some kind of a fool.
The horse won and the Frenchman
took $105, the mount of the wager
and his winnings. Hetold hisfriends
about his winning, and was induced
to twit them. BE wise and game
this time,' one of them said, and put
your money on the favorite.' Well,
he was wise and game from Their
standpoint. He put $1O5 up on the
favorite in the next races at even mon
ey. The horse ran absolutely last.
and made a bad showing al THAT. The
downtown man met his friends who
had 'touted' him up to the idea Of be.
ing wise and game, and he made &
few remarks on the situation. & be-
