THE BUCKsK|N
HORSE WON

A number of horsemen were dis
GUESSING their experiences a few days
ago at Belmont park when one Of
them, a grizzled veteran who has
known the racing game as thorough
ly in all its details as any man in
the country, remarked that people liv-
ing far from the busy centers of sport
were frequently more than able to
hold their own, and he related how
he and his partner. who by the way
was also considered smart enough to
get around without a guardian, were
taken into camp in Mississippi many
years ago, says the New York Sun.
Brown and | owned some pretty
smart horses-shOrt horses or quarter
horses they were called in those
days" he said, "and we had beaten
everything through George and the
Carolinas. those States being our par
ticular stamping ground. when a
friend told us that there was quite
some quarter racing to be had in
Mississippi and lower Tennessee.
My partner Brown was nearly six
feet tall, but he never weighed
more than 100 pounds those days. and
he did our riding. There was nobody
that / evr saw that could beat him at
the ask and answer game, and while
we sometimes had to give away a lot
of weight when our adversaries would
put up some little ninety pound Niger
or cracker boy. Browns skill in the
saddle at the start and through the
race more than evened things up. and
after the race was over and the
ha ID Ia
equally handy. for nobody that l ever
saw could make him take water with
or without the gun play that was in
those days an accompaniment of that
sort of sport.
THAT wasn't all there was to
Brown either He could put on a pair
of trunks and step 100 yards down a
cinder path close to evens. You
wouldn't think so, if you saw him
come along today-and he'll be here
some day soon, for he never misses
Withers' at Belmont-with his gold
bowed spectacles on his nose and his
umbrella hanging from it's crook on
his left arm. That's the sort of man
Brown was: and | thought pretty well
of myself those days too.
I'VE were several thousand dollars
strong and had three good quarter
horses. one of them known as the
old mare we regarded as invincinble
in our country After hearing about
the picllings in Mississippi and Ten
nessee we planned our campaign and
il was decided that / should do the
preliminary work. ] took j bunch of
common, no account horses, pretty

little old happy headed niger and
started off for the happy hunting
ground, at least that's what we
thought il would be for us. but you
can't always tell whether you are go
| ing to scalp or be scalped
Il travelled leisurely, selling an old
nag out Of my bunch or making a
trade now and then for a blind, and

The old mare knew Brown and his
ways like a book. She would stand
around like she had no interest in life
beyond getting three squares day
until her long legged pilot was in the
saddle. Then there was no sign of
sleepiness. She was the finest thing
you ever saw.
They turned a couple of times and
Mister Niger on the buckskin says
Ready Those long legs of Browns
wrapped themselves around the old
mares big barrel and she wasn't two
feet from the ground when he gave
the answering Co And away they
went at breakneck speed.
The old mare had a peculiar way
of twirling her tail as she ran and
it threshed necessarily. At half the
distance she had the buckskin q good
length and Brown was looking back.
a few yards further and the old mare
stumbled and almost unseated Brown.
She lost three lengths or more by :his
mshap, and when the finishing line
was reached the buckskins head and
half his neck was in front of the
mares muZle.
Our mare pulled up lame and
Brown jumped from her back and was
anXiOusly examining one of her ankles
when ! came up. Ii was puffed and
sore to the touch, and / at once ran
up the path to see the cause of the
stumble, for she was exceptionally
sure footed.
There was hole in the path about
a foot and half in depth where she
had broken through the crust of the
ground 1t had evidently been made
by a root or trunk of some dead tree
and had been covered by the soil.
Continuous planning of the path had
gradually uncovered it and it had
been our tough luck to have the old
mare break through.
I'VE never whimpered and of course
had no chance for another match, as
they had our mares form fully uncov-
money. and both Brown and were in
the dumps because our mare was
ruined, but neither of us minded that
part of it half as much as the re-
mark of the man who owned the
buckskin as he tucked our roll of
banknotes away in his pockets Thit
is what he said to us and we couldn't
talk back either:
You uns shorely had the best
boss. but | think we uns outtrained

Now wasn't that help"

1T was a pretty fair race, but they

easily, but my own judgment was
that the old gray had the buckskin
pretty well Strengthened out This
was shared by my rider. and | wrote
Brown that night to get ready for the

Il told the people who owned the

did not run his race, but that l had
a goer at home and if they were game
for another dash l would dearly love
TO have her brought over. Would they
run? For a minute.
We'll, Brown came poking into town
week later riding a mustang and
leading the old mare. She carried
such a barrel that a person who didn't
know her would never credit her with
possessing the marvellous speed she
had on tap-a quarter in 0:221a any
time you wanted it, with Brown up.
They made a few comments when
they saw her We said nothing in
reply. except that our money made
a noise. and more than $4,000 went
up on the match that night. the pro-
prietor of the hotel where we stopped
holding the stakes.
I'VE agreed to run in ten days time

race.

THE BACK PLATFORM.

Little Bobby took ride on a street
car the other day and then wrote the
following composition on "The Back
Platform"
THE back platform is bully place
for pickpockets and cigarette smokers.
That's why you always find them
there. Some men stand on the back
platform because they are too mean
to go inside. They are afraid they
might have to give up their seat to a
lady. Other men stand out on the
back platform because they are foxy
and think the conductor might forget
their nickel in the rush. The only
time a woman stands on the back
platform is to raise her umbrella or
give the conductor piece Of her
mind"
