ATTENDANCE TREBLED
Last week the horses began to ar
rive in carload lots, bringing in their
wake verigated assortment of Joe
keys, bookmakers, touts, pari-mutual
machines, peddlers of envelopes con-
tanning betting tips, tinhorns, stable
men, and all the things that GO with
the Sport of Kings"
The Butte miners threw down
their picks and drills and crammed
many special trains when they learn
ed they had chance to bet on the
ponies. The promoters of the fair
reported that as result of the reop-

tendance was trebled, and that most
of the crowd came to see the ponies
In action once more. This was borne

deserted while throngs milled around
in front Of the grandstand or formed
in lines in front of the mysteri-
Gus room where the pari mutual ma
chimes and the Florida Plan of Bet
ting" were kept busy recording the
money put up" on favorite horses.

State were being flagrantly violated
within pistol shot of the dome of the
state capitol and demanded that
something be done to stop this exhi-
bition of lawlessness under the very
