PARI-MUTUEL MACHINES.
Betting Devices to Be Tried at
Churchill Downs.

NEW YORK. March 23.-As already
announced the managers OF the two tracks
at Louisville have decided to install pari-
mutuel machines. They have been try
ing to secure the machines which were
used in this state years ago. but they
we're found to be too rusty and new ones
the new law it would be possible to have
bookmakers at Churchill Downs and
Douglass Park. but those in charge be-
lieve the racing will be cleaner with the
machines and will give racegoers a bet
ter chance. Owners and others in a posi-
ton to secure stable secrets are the only
classes Of racegOers who will object to
the Introduction OF the pari-mutuel sys-
TEN.
In adopting the pari-mutuel system the
managers of the Kentucky tracks have
taken a step that is probably intended
to help the sport when attacks are made
on 1t in the future Under the system in
this state the most vulnerable point of
attack is the bookmaker. the opponents
of racing holding the view that all the
layer Of odds has to do is to sit on a
high stool and rake in money for several
hours each day.
Just how well founded this view is may
be judged by ring Developments from sea-
son to season. and they are generally in
ring may be left out Of consideration. as
the money handled in it is that OF bet
tors who are not particularly affected by
winning or losing. The small wagers,
however are handled almost entirely by
the back line layers and those in the
field. and 1t Is a well-known fact among
regulars at the tracks that very few
last throughout an entire season. About
90 usually. look for places each spring
on the back line OF the grandstand ring.
anu about half the number are accom-
modated. AS vacancies occur those in
waiting are placed Last fall during the
ANAL days at Aqueduct there were fire.
quently less than ten of the back line
layers at work. an illustration OF the
joyous and prosperous existence Of the
layers who cater to the small bettors.
The horsemen Of Kentucky have already
esta blished a breeding bureau, and Its
work Is going ahead favorably. 1t Is en-
tirely probable that they will endeavor to
further popularize racing by devoting a
of the receipts at Churchill
Downs and the other tracks in the state
to worthy objects, after the method en-
ployed in France. In this way they can
save the sport. 80 that even II New York
fails as q market the fortunes tied up
in thoroughbred breeding will not be en-
tirely wiped out.

Jeffries. the retired heavyweight cham

round bouts without decisions. and has
secured an option on a piece OF land just

to erect a monster arena for the phr-
pose of holding twenty round battles. In
speaking Of his new scheme, Jeffries said:
II think those ten-round bouts at the

RISING FAST
NEW PosToFFIcE GETS SECOND
WIND
ARRIVAL OF STEEL HAsTENs
THE WORK
Contractors to Meet Date speci-
fled for Completion by
Government

According to o. D. Muchmore, super
States public buildings, the new federal
building being erected at Temple,
North Main and North Spring streets,
should be completed by the specified
time, July 1, 1910.
This building will contain the post
office and the federal courts as well.
Dougan & Bringham are the contrac-
tors in charge of the work. Superin-
tendent Muchmore has his offices at
room 15, 232 North Main street, oppo-
site the structure which his windows
face. He passes half at his office and
half at the works, being ably seconded
in strenuousness by the contractors
themselves.
The non-arrival of steel beams was
the cause of considerable delay, and
''the man in the street" made caustic
and jubilant remarks about the dead
letter office" being constructed by the
government
However, the contractors utilized the
time waiting for the steel by installing
their stone yard and cutting plant or
Lyon street, where thirty-one expert
cutters are finishing the stone for the
exterior of the building. This is said
to be the best equipped stone plant on
the Pacific coast.
The rest of the expert mechanics en-
ployed are working on the building it
self.
The second story in steel structure
of the building has been completed long
ago, and the fact that bricklayers are
not seen any more working on the
foundation makes much better inn
preston on the casual observer, who
can see that the structure is COM
mencing to rise to it's full height.
When only one derrick was utilized the
work did not go on so rapidly. But
with the acquisition of second one of
these lifting apparatus-since removed
to another part of the building-the
work has progressed far more expedi-
tiously.
Superintendent Muchmore is more
than pleased with the work done by
the contractors, and says that he does
not think the public can be more ex-
acting than he when delays occur
