Dave Johnson did some heavy betting

with a solid wager on keator In the nrst
event. Then be plunged on Salvidere'
Hunning Water, Astronomer. Senator Clay
and james Crawford in succession. his COM
mission on Crawford alone amounting TO

close to 100000 on the day.
Nearly all of the books lost extensively.

backed down from rs to 10 in this event. with

vii Astronomer VIM asked Senator
McCarren Of David Gideon.
The betting would indicate that he Is a
cinch." replied Gideon. with a laugh. The
colt has worked well and is in fine shape. He
ought to beat the others easily"
As a matter Of fact the plungers who got
aboard Of this sure thing did not consult
Gideon at all. They knew that Astronomer
was a mudlark Of rare quality and for that
reason they believed that any price was good
I enough to accept.
