YANDERBILT'S NORTHEAST
CAPTURES GRAND PRIX

derbilt announced that he would give
81, 900 to the poor of Paris, $4,000 to the
Chantilly Hospital and $4,000 to the
Jockeys poor fund.
Although it was a great day for
Americans, the Grand Prix did not
come up in many respects to that of
former years. Old racing men never
had seen SO moderate a lot of starters,
and yet for two hours an uninterrupted
stream of spectators poured into the
vast lawns and grand stands until $780,
900 filled the Enclosure and other thous-
ands ~blackened the surrounding mead
ows.
The official betting figures showed
wagers amounting to nearly ST. 900, 900.
Tht race was a stirring one from
start to finish. Northeast winning by
only a scant head from his half-sister,
SAUCE Pourpree. owned by Count LIE
Marois. The favorites, Medeah. Grill
Room and Quintette, finished in the
ruck.
The lesson of the day, so far as FASH
ion is concerned. was that the famous
sheath gowns so popular a fortnight
ago, nave disappeared completely. Hats

mented chiefly with roses and osprey
feathers. Moderately clinging dresses
in thin embroidered stuffs. with lace
jackets, are all the fashion.

Famous French Classic Goes to
American Entry at Odds
of 10 to |.

PARIS, June 15.-W. K. Vanderbilt's
colt Northeast, cheered on by thousands
of Americans, yesterday won the Grand
Prix de Paris, the blue-ribbon event of
the French turf. which this ear vas
worth $72, 900. Beautiful weather ia
vored the running of this classic, and
fully $50, 900 persons gathered at Long
champs to witness the race, which
marked the close of the Paris season,
Northeast was not the favorite. and
those who backed him were almost eX-
clusively Americans. They got as good
as 10 to 1 for their money.
AS soon as the result was announced,
and while the people still were cheering,
Prince Auguste de Arenberg, president
of the Jockey Club racing committee,
seized Mr.. Vanderbilt by the arm and
led him into the presidential tribune,
where he formally was presented to
President Fallieres. The President
shook Mr.. Vanderbilt heartily by the
hand and said he was delighted that a
citizen of a sister republic was the WIN
ner, and added;
Your success is we'll deserved, as we
all know you spare neither trouble nor
expense in keeping up your establish
ment."
Vanderbilt was so moved he could
merely bow his thanks. Later, when he
entered the weighing room, he received
an ovation and. shaking hands all
round, said:
II cannot express my delight. The
result didn't astonish me. 1 hoped for
it and expected it."

"Stallings is -four flushing. He don't
intend to get n more new players"
That guy, 1 wager, got in on a free
pass. I know that Stallings is up a
tree about taking new men, for whom
he was looking all winter, just because
he has no place to put him where this
new man will shine. I will bet any
one that that fellow Hartsell will be
with us before the end of the week.
But if we lost a game we won on a
game, so there it was ven stephens at
that.
Oh. what a crowd was there. Yes,
my friend was there from up the bill,
at least I was told that he was, but
I didn't see him. The plumber, where
was he? My informant didn't see him.
He wants to come down there, and
when Jimmy Mullen strikes out and
cuts three holes in the atmosphere, why

But can the gambler be repressed? a
you by law prevent the hacker of a
horse, a ard shark or a money broker
from waging money as 1t suits him? No
you can't. What is the result? Instead
of removing the gambler you simply
scatter him. The gambler is the result
of the effect of a desire born in every
man to AXE q chance. When you try
to silence that desire you need a sur
geon's scalpel, not a lawmakers man
date.
Why Baseball FIourishes.
And now [ must refer to that one
particular branch of the sporting world
where gambling is the eXception-base-
ball. To prove that gambling Injuries
any game, let me ask you; Why has
baseball continued TO gain in favor
with the masses; the poor, the unedu-
Gated, the rich and the brilliant-minded?
There IL no open gambling allowed at
any of the national games. The fra
ternity did try to get in on the game
once, and four ball players made it UP
to lose the game so that the gambling
sharks could make a book on the other
team. These men were promptly ex-
PEELED from the national game, and they
never were forgiven.
Word or Gamblers.
The professional gambler, as a rule,
is a man who will dig down deep into
his purse at the call of charity. The
opposite is the exception. They are
generally men who take good care of
their families. They are ever ready to
help out a needy person, but are always
ready to take advantage of every money
deal. In other words, they are seeking
the margin of profit for themselves, and
in their own parlance they always try
to make "a Dutch book" when their
bank roll is in danger of being touched.
If these professional gamblers were in
a legitimate business they would be
| classified as shrewd business men, and
many of them would be found in the
list of who's Who?" Because the law
has attached a stigma to the gam
bier" by making him a felon, he is
despised and Stunned by the crust OF
society. | am not UNFOLDING gamblers
but l am not afraid to say when Cha
ron is rowing us Owe that seven course
river Styx and plotting us to the happy
land there will be as many gamblers
above with their harp strings as there
will be leaders of society.
Modification, Not Reformation.
What we need, and l am only talking
of the sporting world, is modification
and not so much reformation The re-
former needs to be modified, for why
should you and l stand up and dictate
what our fellow men should do? Instead
of making crime out of human i'm
pulses, let the lawmakers, if they must
surround the horse racing world witt
certain rules that will afford the spec.
tators the same chance to fatten theil
pocketbooks as it does to the horse
owner and TO the hydra-headed, in
famous trusts that give us no chance
like the gambler does. to get theil
money. but squeeze every penny out o

and a little moro practical Americanisn

but all the world, better.

All that you have to do to notice this
reforming of things is to stop and
think. Years ago it was he custom
and it was permissible for men to
fight on the sod for glory and money,
with their naked fists, and kings ana
other high muckey-mucks sat around
the brutal exhibitors and generally APP
plauded. But that has passed from
public favor. Reforms have been
