his departure, she busted herself as

SMATAERS'
CAREER
The Noted Horse Owner and
His First Racer-frOm
Poverty to Riches

No member of the horse racing fra
ternity is better known than E. e.
Emathers, the Pittsburg millionaire
sportsman who now makes his home
in New York city. Mr.. smathers, who
recently announced his intention of
touring the world in an automobile,
owns upward Of a score of well known
horses, runners as well as the light
harness breeds, and during the last
two or three years has been directly
in the glare of the public limelight by
reason Of his equine purchases and the
capture Of various rich events.
Mr.. Smathers first attained turf fame
through his ownership of Lord Derby

the redoubtable vanquisher of Thomas
w. Lawson's Boralma In match con-
test. and many other grand circuit
stars. Other trotters followed Lord
Derby into his stable, and finally he
entered the running game by purchas-
ing McChesney, the champion of the
west and the rival of J. B. Haggin's
Waterboy. Later he obtained a half
dozen more runners and finally switch
ed back into harness prominence by
buying Major Delmar. the game geld
ing that gave Lou Dillon wondrously
hard fight for the worlds trotting
championship.
Gilmore 4. Smathers has had an in
teresting and instructive career. He
began life as lowly farmers boy
without a cent. and when he was able
to lift his own weight he became an
oil pumper. He pumped his way into
$1,000 cash and then bought seat in
the Bradford pa Oil Exchange. This
did him little good. but his knowledge
stood him well, and through 1t he has
made four fortunes. but lost three. Oil,
not horses, has made e. L. Smathers
a multimillionaire. Yet the old horse

fair shape financially, but was in bad
health. He was advised to buy a
horse and exercise. He sent a man to
Bufraio, who returned with Simmie,
who had good record and who was
good family hefsa. Every evening Mr..
Smathers could be seen seated behind
the little horse, and It was behind
Simmie that Mrs. Smathers. former
Bradford girl of his childhood days,
took her first ride over the streets of
Pittsburg. Smathers was married in
1890, and in 1893 his wife died. Since
then there has been for him none save
his old mother in Bradford.
In the fall of 1891 Simmie was enter
ed In some races at Homewood, Pa
Smathers, to tell the plain truth, did
not know anything about horses, and
he was not ashamed of his lack of
knowledge. The day before the first
race in which Simmie was entered he
went to Trainer Jack Davidson and
said
For heavens sake, John, drive that
horse for me tomorrow. She is good
and can win. know, but If l start in
to drive I'm likely to get her headed
the other way" -.-.
Davidson laughed and promised to
60 on the sulky, which he did and
won with Simmie. Mr.. Chapman later
drove Simmie for Smathers and fire.
quently with success. The fact that
Smathers would not at that time drive
his own horse is yet the cause of many
Jest round the stables in Pittsburg
where the horsemen are wont to meet.
And. though millionaire, E. e.
Smathers will not stand for any little
deal which he thinks is not right. This
was demonstrated last spring when he
visited Pittsburg and fought a case
which involved only 5000, but was lost
through the defendant taking advan-
tage Of the gamblers act. In race
at Providence between Coxey, Smath-
ers' horse, and Charles Mack, Coxey
| won. =
1t was claimed by Smathers that he
had commissioned certain Pittsburg
| man to buy 5000 worth of tickets on
his horse for him, but that after Coxey
had won the man refused to recognize
| the commission and claimed the wa
gers as his own. Smathers entered
suit against him. 1t is said that he
spent $1,000 on the case. The suit
was thrown out of court.
