"Come on, you Butterfly" screeched
a woman In the grandstand at the
Windsor race track Friday. She was
letting loose a blast OF encouragement
to a horse in a race. The field was
coming up the home stretch. with But
terfy a length behind the leader. On
came the real contenders In furious
drive. Butterfiy's jockey tried to spur
her ON TO greater effort as she strug.
gied for the wire, but the squirting was
In vain. Nor did the shouts OF the wo-
man in the grandstand do any good
Butterfly was beaten by nose. She
was one of the favorites sin the race
and much money was bet on her to
win.
The woman who yelled for Butterfly
to win lost $40. The loss was sad
blow. for she had sure tip" that tht
horse was going to win in walk. For
a moment she was crestfallen. Her
nerve returned, however. when the
next race was on and again shes was
yelling for the horse OF her choice 10

tunate; the horse she wagered few
dollars on won and she went home
partly reimbursed for the loss OF
the $40.

number OF her sex who patronized the
track during the week and made bets
like the men. They were. of course,
not allowed to go around the betting
ring, but there were lots of touts on
hand to carry their bets to the book
makers. Many OF them were provided
with form sheets, which give the re-
cent performances OF the horses en-
tered in the different races, and By
these they were guided in their bet
ting. The dope OF the form sheets
went wrong In a number of instances.
however. and the women gamblers suf-
fered. While some came out a little
ahead on the weeks chances, the ma
jority went broke"
The woman gambler at the race
track Is study. She generally comes
to the track early, equipped with the
aforesaid racing form and the latest
tips from certain newspapers. This
information she devours ravenously as
Sc sits In the grandstand. Once in a
while she. will take her eyes of the
dope long enough TO answer a query
from a friend or watch the work OF a
horse limbering up on the track. Be
fore the races she will make what she
considers the best selections, with a
vow that she will bet accordingly as
each race Is called. Then, the tickle
mind usually asserts itself. A friend
comes along and tells her that her
dope is all wrong: that her selections
have no more chance of winning thar
a COW. She is convinced that she has
made a mistake and decided TO put her
money on the horses mentioned to her
Her friend means well enough in his
advice, but very often her own choices
prove to be the winners, as was evi
denced In one race at the present
meeting. As horse. whose first name
was Marion, crossed the wire a win

claimed

first name in one of the races, ana
that was going TO bet on her. Marion,

but that fool of a man misled me. Me

Women gamblers are usually super
stitious at the races. They have
reasons for not betting on certain
horses which men never think about
For instance, some who were at the
Windsor track this week declined to
bet on a horse named "CapsiZe.' The
horse was entered in a steeplechase,
None OF 'Capsize for me-" sang a
woman, with tive-dollar bill In her
hand, when a man touted the horse to
win. THAT horse will surely do just
what it's name signifies. | want a
horse with a better name than that
for this race"
This was the sentiment among most
of the women and but little, ii any, OF
their money was placed on "Capsize. 4"
To make feeling stronger agains.
"Capsize" among the women, the
steeplechase was run in part Of a rain
storm. The women declared the horse
would be swamped In the running II
was. II was listed among the ALSO
