JOCKEYS MAscors.

Jockey after he had steered Arranmore,

BY grateful and generous onwers.
A certain Newmarket stable appren-
tice, who has ridden several winners this
year. never rides without holding In his
mouth a piece Of straw, about 3 inches
long which he found in the stable one
day on the back Of the first horse he
was asked to ride in race. For some
unaccountable reason lac regarded the
piece of straw as an omen OF good luck,
more particularly after he won that first
race.
Bits of the skin Of famous racehorses
OF the past are very much priced by SUI
pcrstitious jockeys, who would as soon
think Of riding without a saddle as
without this peculiar talisman. And II a
bit OF skin cannot be obtained, the jockey
contents himself with a few Of the hairs

stances, and saying 1t was the old lady's
first and last bet. But she would never
