Fifty years ago most people looked
upon betting on race horses as de-
moralizing and as an extremely haz-
ardous gambling venture wherein the
public had practically no chance of
success. Today. through the devel-
opment of handicapping, the same
public has been taught that racing
speculation. as a whole, Is conducted
on far more legitimate and honorable
methods than any other line of spec
ulation, having the advantages of
open avenues of investigation con-
cerning the records, classes of form

various contestants and much other
valuable information which was not
available just few years back.
This obviously gives the bet
tor more reliable lines of calcu-
lation than possibly can be
obtained in any commercial or
general business.
The idea that racing was to be
frowned upon is fast being dissolved
by these and other truths.
Handicapping q Science.
Handicapping is an expert business,
based on scientific and mathematical
principles. The reason the horses
that figure to win on figures are not
successful always is due to many
causes too numerous to mention, but
always remember that horses are not
machines, but, like humans, have
their individual peculiarities or dis
positions and ups and downs Of health.
At times horses become nervous and
bad-tempered under excessive racing
or irregular treatment. Therefore it
does not follow that because horse is
favorite he always is the best, or even
figures to win the race. for favorites
as rule are on the decline, or going
back" and previously may have
shown their best. 1t is impossible to
keep any horse, however sturdy. in
winning condition for an indefinite
period.
The photo chart when perfected will
show many things not to be deter
mined by the system now in use. It
will tend to show when a horse has
started back. before he loses, and will
enable handicappers to eliminate him
from their calculations before losing
a wager and not after he has run in
miserable fashion.

ariStocratic Pierces of New Bedford.
Alex Pierce made headlines with
New England papers, by the way.
1t happened that one of his horses
officially got third position, and
afterwards the picture showed that
he was an easy second. Naturally
Alec protested - he and all his
friends had bet large amounts of
money on the horse-and the "big"
officials first tried to persuade him
that he was wrong.
Alec tried his best to avoid a rae
ing scandal, but a smart local re-
porter learned what had happened,
and the whole thing appeared that
night in all the papers, much to the
confusion of the big shots. There is
a strong possibility that there will
be move to close the Narragansett
track as a result.
The North Shore social registerites
are more than excited about the pop
ularity contest at the Casino in Mag
nolia which has already had one week
of balloting. The contest ends at the
beginning of September, but one can
already name the favorites. In the
ladies contingent, Mrs. Charles R. L.
Sturgis, crowned "prettiest girl on
the North Shore" in 1886, has big
chance, but will have to fight the
tough competition of Janet Pierce,
Alice Burrage, Lucy Cochrane, Anne
Sertwell Clement, Susie Seyburn, and
quite a few other pretties.
The real interest is on the male
competition. AS we see it now, young
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge has
splendid chance to be selected as the
'handSomest man of the Mort h
Shore" and bets are already heavy on
him. But he'll have to get rid of

jr., came to see their dear friends the
"hosses." William Almy, one of the
most prominent figures in the horse
racing world. who as you remember,
was master of hunt in Warrenton, is
now master of his own hunt in West
port, Mass, where the blue -blooded
New Englanders assemble every year.
Houghton P. Metcalf, from R. l.,
had few of his horses competing as
did Hal Price Headley, from "Old
Kentucky" and Mrs. E. Denemark, a
close relation of our friend AL Capone
(1t happens even in society to have
bad cousin" you know. Another
competitor was W. E. Boeing, of air
plane fame.
Other prominent personalities that
we spied were the Morgan Belmonts

family), who was runner up for the
"handsomest guy" title last time, and
of William Brown, III, Bobby Gan
nett, Freddie Aver, jr., Lentner
Sewall and few others.
Another contest prominent on the
social calendar of the North Shore
is the Nancy Letter trophy, to be
fought for by girl shippers of the
Pleon and Seawanhaka-C -Corinthian
Yacht Clubs. Nancy Letter, who
always figures prominently in the
social picture, had large house
party over the weekend and enter
tanned her guests Saturday night
with dining and dancing at the
Casino. But Nancy, by Jupiter, is not
only social butterfly, she is also
sportswoman Of first choice. No
doubt she is tops in the art of sailing,
and her new eight-meter Venture
should figure well in the coming
regattas.
All this happened on re North
Shore, but Narragansett was not left
behind in the calendar of social fes-
tivities. The Argentine Ambassador,
Don Felipe Espil and his gorgeous
brunette American wife were enter
tanned at luncheon on the terrace at
the Dunes Club, by the Christopher
