CHORUS GIRLS WON.
Made killing in the Betting Ring
on KiliI1are.

New York, Sept There was joy
unconfined in the Lobster Palaces" of
Broadway last night, especially in the
theatre district over the victory of Kill
kare at Sheepshead Bay race track. The
chorus girls of one company had more
money than they knew what to do with
and some of the principals made big
increase in their capital. From all ac-
counts the coup on Killkare was the
greatest in many years about New
York. The filly was backed in many
books at 200 to 1, and was hammered
down to so. Between $4,000 and $780,
600 was taken from the betting ring.
The filly once belonged to the late
Fred Hamlin, the Chicago theatrical
manager. That is how the killing
happened to be so generally celebrated
on the RiaIto last night The surviv-
ing partners of Mr.. Hamlins firm were
notified in good season that Killkare
was ready to make her maiden effort
and the word was passed around. There
was good sized pool made up by mem
bers of the chorus and played in the
hands of a commissioner. Owing to a
tremendous plunge on another horse in
the race they were able to spread a
ring before much thought was given to
their operations. Then the bookmakers
woke up to the fact that their sheets
were becoming very much one-sided
and they marked down the price against
KilIkare, many refusing to accept any
more bets against her.
Although the filly had never before
faced the barrier and was ridden by a
comparatively unknown jockey, she
jumped away in the lead and stayed
there to the end, winning by a close
margin from August Belmont's Bi-
vouac There was a wild demonstration
by the lucky ones but in the betting
ring gloom reigned for the remainder OF
the afternoon. 1t was generally con-
ceded that the coup was the most sue
cessfully managed one since that or
King Cadmus put through by the late
George e. Smith (Pittsburg Phil) Il
years ago.

BARNES LIMITS THE CHOICE.
Thinks Second District Must Choose a
Wyandotte Congressional Aspirant.

Nat Barnes of Kansas City, Kan,
was in Topeka yesterday, and in dis
cussing the Second district congress
sional fight, said:
"Wyandotte is going to have the
next congressman. His name will
either be Buchan or McGrew. There
will be a fight as to which of those
two shall have the delegation. The
one that gets it will have it hard.
There will be no bunco game worked
like the one last year, when McGrew
had the delegation. but couldn't handle
it. The fact is McGrew couldn't get
his friends on that delegation. The
crowd running things at that time
used him as a dummy in order to cor
raj the thing. McGrew has got his
eyes open this time and Buchan al
ways has his open. So there will be
no jockeying with the next delegation.
Congressman Bowersock is still in
position to handle some of the poll
ticians in Wyandotte. The next Kan
sas City postmaster will be named by
him. Sartin's time as postmaster ex-
pires next May. Bowersock's term
doesn't expire for a year later. So he
will name the new postma ster.''
