JOHN W. GATES CONTINUES his
HEAVY SPECULATION.

Inc aftermath Oh tne BuDuTD0n NHanQtcap
developed the fact yesterday that John W.
Gates actually won close to 500, 900 In wagers
on the victory Of Nealon. He cleaned up
$50, 100 alone In the clubhouse, and his commits
siuners placed enough In the RIM 70 win a
similar amount. That Mr.. Gates has decided
10 make an unprecedented attempt to beat the
rIces this year is now an accepted fact. With
Roots Durnell as his adviser. the millionaire
turfman is betting thousands on every race.
There Is no limit 10 his wagers when he thinks
a horse has a cinch. so that It Ia merely q Ques-
ton at times OF how much money the book
makers will accept from him. Mr.. Gates
bet on all seven races yesterday and expert
enCed a rather strenuous afternoon. Dur
uell's light weight jockey. Eddie Dugan. had
the mount on s. c. Hildrethi 8 Hiacko, q Fresno
colt, in the first race. and Mr.. Gates was in
formed that Hiacko was a opper lined cinoh.
accordingly Mr.. Gates unloaded q $4,000
commission on the colt. who finished Q head
out OF the money. the books winning q large
amount on his defeat. as other plungers and

while the Gates wager OF $1,000 went astray

Nothing daunted. however. the millionaire
plnnger selected Notasulga for the Daisy
Stakes In spite Of the fact that Cohort looked
to be sure winner. While Cohort was heavily
backed at 9 to S. Mr.. Gates had several agents
in the ring taking all the 2 to 1 on Notasulga
hat was on tap. NotasulRa won and Mr..
Gates won back the $40. 1000 he dropped on
the FIRST two races. II looked like Halifax
in the Coney Island Handicap and Mr.. Gates
backed him at the opening OF the speculation,
but later he got a red hot tip on Kings Daugh-
ter and stood to win q bundle. But Tony
Faust spoiled II all by getting up In the last
lump.
Durnell had Joe Eealon In the fifth race,
and as the colt had been tremendously backed
in his previous race only TO be defeated be-
cause of a poor start. Mr.. Gates decided to
go back to him again. There was 2 to 1

Quickly made Its appearance. Every book
NJ any importance was bessie ed with offers
from the Gates commissioners, who got
about 10000 on, while practically the same
amount was placed in the clubhouse. This
time Joe Neslon made good and Mr.. Gates
was s35. 1000 winner on the result. The next
good thing was W. B. Jennings's Ruby. in
the sixth race. E. DuRen had the leg up
and the Gates wagers forced the price from
10 down TO &. But Ruby could not get up
a respectable gallop. The last race was
something of a puzzle, for Mr.. Gates bet on
