Yet They Get Victims.


Layers of odds at the race track are
prone to circulate tales of their enor-
nous losses upon certain races, but 1t
is seldom that loss on a run may be
shown, for it has been figured by eX-
perts, states the New York Herald, that
a skillful layer makes a book showing
percentage of % in his favor, by which
he is bound TO retain at least one-fourth
of his takings. Large losses happen oc-
casionally when an unexpected victory
pays 40 or 80 to /, but as a general
thing, unless the bookmaker deliberate
Iy CANDLES with chance, he makes
book" so that he will show profit on
each race. A skillful bookie can so
manipulate the odds that at no point
does he stand to lose on a race, and, like
his brother of the gambling house, his
profit lies in this percentage In his
favor. Even where gambling games
are run without recourse to fraud the
odds in favor of the dealer are never
less than 20 per cent.

Difference in EnvoYs.

A London writer says Sergius Witto
belongs to the mastiff type, Baron
Komura to that of the weasel. The
Russian envoy's manners are notorious
ly bad, so bad that he rarely enters the
czar's presence without making some
courtier's hair stand straight on end.
Genial as he is by nature, he is often
rough and off-hand, and sometimes he
is quite brutal in his callousness; he
tramples conventionality under foot
ruthlessly and calls spades spades in a
fashion that his enemies dub indecent.
The Jap's manners, On the contrary, are
exquisite. His courtesy is as kindly as
it is ceremonious, and there is some
thing quite touching in the gentle defer
ence he shows to all whom he meets,
even while allowing not one of them to
approach him too nearly. Just as NJ.
Witte is a stanch democrat, Baron
Komura is an aristocrat by instinct.

Theoretically college match pro-
Vides an opportunity for generous emu-
lation between young men in some forIa
OF recreation which they follow for its
own sake. This conception is retained
in England betterthan in this country,
where the national tendency to make q
business of whatever is undertaken
works against the best form of amateur
sport. 1t is thus that great expenses are
fels to be necessary in training; there
is a tenaency to take professional per-
formances as the standard, and with
this goes of necessity desire for elab-
crate training and the erection of what
should be recreation into a solemn
duty Of winning. And from this in turn
arise most of the troubles which have
attended the growth of college athletics.
