New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1912-09-08
by Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Several bookmakers, who came up TO
LenoX from New York, openly took bets,
but the fashionable folk did not place a
great deal of money with the "bookies.
They had a plan Of making pools and
allowing women TO take part. In fact,
the pool was the favorlte method OF
chance, because the field was small in
most races. With ten horses in a race,
! q pool OF 500 would be made up, and the
ten persons in the pool would each draw
2 number. Perhaps six OF the horses
would be scratched, and the holders OF
the remaining numbers divided the pool
in accordance With the winning Of their
horses.
