FORTUNES MADE BY JOCKEYS
What Favorites Of the Turf Have
Earned Riding the Ponies
Large incomes Made.

London.-During the hearing Of the
racing libel suit before Justice OAR
ling in the lord chief Justices court
it was stated that Frank Wootton.
the jockey, had ridden in no fewer
than 1900 races and that he received
the sum of $500 for winning the
Cesarewitch 1t was also stated that
he had $155.000 invested in Australia.
Well known jockeys make large in
comes, says London Tit-Bits. and
when Tom Loates died some time ago
he left an estate which was valued
for probate at $371,710 gross-the
largest fortune ever amassed by a rid
ing crack.
Retaining fees and presents repre-
sent the Jockeys greatest source OF
wealth, and II is interesting to know
that Tom Cannon received no less
than $4,000, paid in advance, for first
claim on his services for a term OF
years by the late Mr.. Baird.
Tod Sloan, the American jockey.
was said to have saved over 100000
out of his riding fees and retainers,
which huge sum he is reported to
have lost by unlucky speculations. In
one year alone his fees amounted to
nearly $4,000. One Of Sloan's great
est victories on the English turf was
when he won the Goodwood cup for
Mrs. Langtry on Norman. The race
was worth $4,000. and Sloan is said
to have received fee of 5000. When
he rode Ballyhoo Bey to victory in the
| Futurity, she richest race on the
American turf, William c. Whitney,
the owner of the animal, paid him
$4,000.
The total number hst the late Fred
Archer's winning Ter innts reached
2,746. He won the 81 Eve times,
the Two Thousand Guineas i've times,
the Cakes four times and the St
Leger six times. For winning the Der
by Of 1885 Lord Ratings gave Archer
$13,S75. Presents ranging from jew
elry costing hundreds of dollars to q
modest box of cigars were lavished
upon Fred Archer by his admirers
On one occasion he pocketed presents
amounting to over $4,000. At the
zenith of his career Archer had q
large cash box filed with articles OF
jewelry valued at nearly $4,000
which were given to him by lady ad'
mirers.
Daley, the jockey who piloted Her
NIT home as the winner of the Derby
in 1867, received nearly $4,000 in
presents from admirers and bookmak
ers, including a handsome check from
the owner Of the horse. Henry Chap
lin.
Some race horse owners are excep
tionally generous when their animals
are victorious. The Count de La
grange presented Grimshaw with $50.

For plotting Blue Gown first past the
post in the Derby Of 1858 Sir JOSEPH

The Isthmus of Panama does not
belong to the English, never did. and
there are not many real Englishmen
there. Yet the presence of a large
number of British subjects-the Ia

habitants an English custom, that of
vehicles taking the left side of the

that most of the cab drivers are ia

Tourists fiocked to the canal zone
In such increasing numbers that the
Panama Railway company-which
means the United States government
decided to erect a new Washington
hotel in Colon to supplant the old hos
telry of that name. The architect de-
signed a handsome four-story struc-
tnre Of concrete and, to take full ad-
vantage of the cool breezes from the
Atlantic. provided in his plans for a
large roof garden and two dumb walt
ers running up to 1t. The builders made
the roof all right, and put in the dumb
walters. but when the hotel was near
ing completion some one discovered
there was no opening in the roof for
the aforesaid dumb walters. The nee
essary changes would cost several hun
dred dollars, and the government Of
hcial who passed upon the expendi-
lures decided against making them as
the hotel already had cost more than
had been expected. Consequently
those two dumb walters run up to the
ceiling of the fourth story and there
stop, while the roof garden, having no
service, remains unopened.
