less kept many at the summer resorts,
notably at Newport, who might otherwise
have seen yesterdays race. and for the
sake OF ths multitude that crowded the
Coney Island Jockey Clubs enclosure IL was
q comfort they stayed away. There wasn't
room In the stands to get in any more on
lockers except by using a battering ram,
while, except between the races, the lawn
was as crowded as the streets before a
bulletin on election night. The crush and
hubbub changed from the AYR to the bet
ting ring at these intervals. In their zeal
to part with their ~money-fOr It was a day
when only the odd man won the race
goers struggled In football rushes for the
betting ring and almost parted from their
clothing.
Tourists from q long distance by automo-
bile were conspicuCus. There were hun
dreds Of cars lined up. but the new incident
was the number to make the run for the race
from the seaside and inland resorts. There
were cars from Greenwich and Stamford,
Atlantic City and Cape May. Long Branch
and Seabright, and from Tuxedo, the Cats
kills and the distant Hamptons on Long
Island. To journey from sixty to eighty
miles TO watch a race Of t~hree-quarters Of a
mile is typical Of the modern driver, anna
teur or professional. IL was a funny sight,
the u~nwrapping Of the women and men.

Dave johnson vas an early arrival in an
automobile and disappeared in the seclusion
OF the clubhouse. He was 90 meek in
manner that no one noticed much that
Roseben was an added starter in the third
race. johnson and L. O.. Appleby were
both very much alive to Roeeben's reap
p~earanoe, however, and the whispers they
sent to the bookmakers made an impression
on many a bankroll. johnson, who ex-
pands with the success OF a good race as a
sunflower in the south wind, walked about
the paddock with the air Of a g~renadier
after koseben's gallant win.
Among the arrivals In cars were the two
or three most renowned jockeys OF the day.
who stripped Oh busters to reveal modish
fall suits and then shot into the bird cage
for the remainder Of the day. McLaugh-
lin Garrison and their old time peers thought
It the top Of style to drive to the races be-
hind a t~rotter, but as a compensation they
could shake q free leg during the races.
Two OF the old guard to comment on these
and other changes were Philip j. Dryer
and Edward Gilmore, the theatrical ma
ger. Al Hayman, a junior OF the mana
gerial clan, was near Gilmore on the club
house balcony. Not since Lakeland was
winning big races with Exile has the old
time Brighton beachcomber held such a
reception as hat to follow ElectiOneeris
victory.
TheSold guard bowed before him like the
crowd does at a White, House reception,
and the moments Of triumph, aside from
the financial gains. had LakeAnd's brown
face as merry as a comic mask.
