City where Mayor Bader is n friend
of mine and l figured he would tel
his policemans to kindly lay off OF
me.
Well they wasn't no special in!
cidence on the trip except that / was
going along pretty fast in town
called Tuckerton and / thought we
was still in the country but a police
man rushed out and held IN his hand
and i said now we are gone sure
but all he said was slow down q
little please and that is the kind OF
policeman / like and l hope they
hold the next big fight in Tuckerton
where policemans is policeman's and
not Wild Bulls.
Containers Contain Nothing New.
Well we finely hit Atlantic City
and of course they was convention
going on and 1 asked what was it
and they said it was a convention of
the Containers but from all / seen
of them they didn't contain nothing
we can't get ON Long Island.
I got hold of rm. at Dan Nc
Laughlin's hotel and they was bath
connected with the I'm. though they's
big ocean right acrost the side
walk and l had broughten a bathing
suite and went swimming every day
only you can't swim in this ocean
very good as some of the waves must
be fit. high.
One night we went to see Ethel
Barrymore in the II Pound Look
but it seemed to me she was under
estimated coup, pounds.
The last day down there We was
recommended to 60 out and see the
dog races which is supposed to be
greyhounds but they are all colors
of the rainbow and we got out there
and / a,ked for two tickets and the
man said l would only need one as it
was ladies day and women was let
in free which is the only piece of
luck / ever had at race track.
Well it was the first time / ever
seen dog races though l have often
bet on horses that turned out to be
dogs, but maybe some of the read
ers has never seen them neither so
/ will exclaim what they are like.
Well they have got IA mile
track and they's a rail around the
inside of same and the rail has got
electric current in it and n rod
sticks out of the rail and on the end
of the rod they's a rabbit only it
amt real rabbit but is made out
of sawdust or something but if you
was behind it you would think it was
real rabbit, that is if you was
dog you would think so.
Well the dogs is all brought out
and paraded like race horses and
after the parade they are locked up
in coops which has got windows in
them so the dogs can see the
track.
Then the electric rabbit is sent
around the track once so as all the
dogs can get look at him and the
I'd. time the rabbit comes around the
co0ps. is opened and the dogs starts
after the alleged rabbit but they don't
never catch him because just past
the finishing line they's opening in
the inside rail which the rabbit dis
appears into it. The dog that gets
to the finishing line first wins the
race.
/ forgot to say that the dogs is
muzzled and when you come to think
it all over that here is IL dozen
muzzled dogs going after a mock
rabbit that amt there when they
get to it, why all and all you can
see it is dogs life.
