BETTING In Buenos Aires.

The Hippodrome, one of the finest
race tracks in the world, is owned by
the Buenos Aires Jockey club, and its
enormous revenue is derived from this
source. The Argentinians are born
gamblers, and they wager almost i'll
credible sums on horsct1esh. The mu-
nicipal statistics of BucnOs Aires show
that $25,S0O.O00 in American gold was
wagered upon the races at the Hippo
drome in one year. This is an average
of fifty Argentine dollars for each man.
woman and child in that great city.
Naturally the reported figures do not
include all the money wagered on
horse racing. so that the true sum is
no doubt 'several millions in excess Of
the reported figures. There are none
50 old and few 50 young that they
will not wager a few pesos on IA

show the personal interest in the result.

CAPITALS We Have Had.

1t is asserted sometimes that the
United States has had five capitals,
but the statement is not correct. The
United States has had but three cap
itals--New York. Philadelphia and
Washington. In the period preceding
the adoption of the constitution no
place was legally constituted capital.
In loose and unofficial sense it is pos
sibe to describe as capital any city
which was the seat of government
Taking the sessions of the Continental
congress as establishing a seat of gov
ernment in the Revolution and the
confederation, the following cities
may loosely rank as capitals: Phila.
delphia, Baltimore. Lancaster York,
Princeton, Annapolis. Trenton and
New York. The articles of confedera-
ton were passed by congress in Phil
adelphia. and the federal convention
charged to prepare constitution con-
vened at the same place.
