BETTING GAME
Vanderbilt Jockey Tells Why
Racing ThriveS in
France

When racing comes back to the
United States / hope that it will be
under the Pari-MHtuel system now in
use in France, says Frank ONeiH,
W. K vanderbilt's jockey, who is now
the leading rider in France. know
that II is customary for people going
abroad to praise everything European
and frown upon things in our own
country, but no one that has never
seen racing in France can imagine
the wonderful success the sport has
achieved under the system. I have
been besieged with questions asking
me to explain the system Of betting
and the American people seem to
have such vague idea of what the
Pari-Mutuel is that an explanation
of its workings cannot but prove in
teresting.
Everybody who has gone to the
races has helped to make up hat pools
and has had lot Of fun out of them
In a hat pool the players are limited
TO the number Of horses in the race
Each person puts up an equal amount
and numbers TO correspond to the
are thrown into a hat and drawn by
lot. The person drawing the num-
Der of the winning horse takes the
pot.
The Pari-Mutuel is nothing more
than a big hat pool except that more
than one ticket can be held on one
horse and the association takes out a
percentage of the pot for the race
fund. In France per cent. is taken
out, a part Of which goes to the Gov
eminent for the improvement Of the
breed Of horses. The Pari-Mu,uel
machines are a mechanical contriv-
ance for the purpose of indicating to
the public the number Of tickets sold
on each horse. Each horse has a
number on the machine to corresond
to its number on the program.
All tickets have a uniform value
and the public makes the odds, be-
cause the horse on which the greatest
number of tickets is sold is the
favorite. To be more explicit: Suppose
the uniform price of tickets was 81
If four horses were running in a race
and 500 tickets were sold on No.
300 on No .. 200 on No. 3 and 100 OF
No. A there would be a total Of 110C
tickets sold and consequently $1,000
in the pool. If per cent. was takeT
out for the race fund it would leav,

win each ticket would pay $40, OF Z

odds on the winner being based OF

the exact number of tickets sold Il

odds are subject to quick changes. a

The whole gamut OF brilliance and
magnificence has been rung so far
as dresses themselves are concerned

to set up a rivalry in dancing shoes,

For those who wish to copy this
fashion it may be interesting to point
out that it is not absolutely neces-

of the shoes and stockings is un-
mistakeably high the necessary re-

This method carries with it a very
