Selling His Horses

C. K. G.. Billings told us that the
reason he was disposing OF all of ms
horses is because he is so busy and
he seemed to be, for every enc wanted
to talk to him.
We did want 10 talk to Antonio
Aste. for 10 US he represents absolute
efficiency. but he 1850 modest that he
refused to say word.
Little Johnny McTaggart, our fav-
orite Jockey, was up on the winner OF
the big race and we knew he was go
ing to win, because in the first race OF
the day, when they were bringing the
horses out on the track, Johnny's red
cap came off at the first strains OF the
national hymn and he was the only
boy who thought of il. He was up on
James Buffers Lively, too, which IS
all that he sounds.
Harry Payne Whitney had horse
in this race, called, or rather named,
Hwfa, and any one who sneezed or
coughed during the race was suspected
of roofing for this Hamburg geldIng.
The Belmont track is thing of beauty,
but on a foggy day the horses go I'VE
and a half furlongs over into Queens
County for the start, the strongest
glasses fail 70 locate them and IT IS
necessary to fash the news Of the
getaway by wireless.
Mrs. Perry Belmont wore the most
striking costume of the day. II had
two kinds Of fur on IL, one sort Of
battleship gray caracul and the other
a beautiful silver fox skin, which must
have cost the original owner a pang
to part with.
Others who were noticed in the
paddock were W. X. Vanderbilt,
Thomas Hitchcock, Robert billiard.
Vincent Serrano, Mr.. and Mrs. Al
Davis, Sam Bernard, Harry Morris.
Baron Ayroldi. Archie Thomson. John
Tucker, and also John McGraw. Heinie
Zimmerman, Rube Benton, Hans Lo-
bert and Germany Schaefer.

Treat for Horse Lovers

1t was a sight to warm the heart OF
every horse lover, and we looked around
and thanked the fstes for that differ
ence Of opinion which is said to be re-
sponsible for horse racing.
1t was our self-imposed task yester-
day to find out how the winners felt
about winning and how the losers felt
about losing, and just. what anybody or
any importance thought on any subject.
This sounds easy, but it isn't, for we
found that any one whose opinion we
valued was about as loquaclous as the
Sphinx.
We asked James Butler if he expect
ed Spur to win the Metropolitan Han
dicap, and he answered 81 hope to-" all
of which we already suspected. We let
discretion be the better part OF our in
terview after the race, and we didn't
approach the "hors de combat" but we
did want 70 know how Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. Healy felt about winning the big
race with dear little Ormesdale.
"In nineteen years I've been trying
for that, and this is the first time
ever trained the winner OF the Metro
politan Handicap, so you can imagine
that I'm rather elated over it," That
was all he said, but we knew just how
he felt.
August Belmont said that he was
sorry to have such bad weather for
the opening, and John Madden said he
would talk to US after the big race
was over, and then we couldn't find
him; but he did tell us about his
book which he has been working on
for more than three years, which is
not an equine Social register, mas
much as it deals with the records.

Two Farmers Union delegates from

and arrived at Snyder Friday after
noon on the South bound Santa Fe.
Their wives were with them. They
said they called on the ticket agent
for through tickets to Snyder and
were billed from Mexla to Fort Wort
thence over the Fort Worth and Den
YER to Amarillo and thence over the
Santa Fe to Snyder. Probably rout-
ed over the T. q p. would have
reached Snyder Thursday morning.
They we're worn out by the long trip.
The ladies' were sick from fatigue.
A ticket agent that knows rs little
as that about routing passengers to
Snyder deserves to be given mental
employment around the stock pens
until he learns something about pas
