began quietly to spread back and
back toward the ruined city. fed
always by the terrible rains and
the roaring torrent of the river.
until at last over all the drowned
valley and the stricken city there
was only silence.

NEW YORK-The man at Dun
& Bradstreet said the 1899 bust
ness index wouldn't be ready for
two weeks but if race track bet
ting is a fair barometer the ink
stained wretches can stop tabu-
lating now because the year was
a great success.
Final returns from the annual
United Press survey disclosed to-
day that 1927 ,631, 11s changed
hands through the mutuel win
dows in II of the Is states where
the sport of kings is legal--or
almost $4,000, 900 more than in
1888. The increase was the sharp
est in decade.
Ten Of the II states showed
gains and the others losses,
mainly from curtailed seasons.
In Massachusetts, the season
was cut from 30 TO so days
and betting dropped from
Sis,991, S65 to $22,274,S29-the
greatest decline. In Maryland,
with virtually the same num-
Der Of racing days, the profits
mounted from $29,222,5S to
$S4, 800, 580-the greatest in
crease.
On the profit side were Arizona,
California, Florida, Kentucky,
Michigan. New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Washington and West Vir-
ginia. Arkansas. Delaware, Hi
nois, Nebraska, Nevada and Ohio
dropped slightly below their 1888
totals.
The golden flow was heaviest
again in the Golden West. Betting
in California reached the incred-
ible figure of S75,s0s,6 SIS, an all
time peak for any single state and
more than double the total Of Illi-
nois, second with s37, e73. $50, or
Florida. third with s35.276, 500.
California also had the longest
racing season. $50 days against
the 200 for Illinois and 100 for
Florida; and contributed the larg-
est amount 10 the state treasury.
3,032 ,347.04. Maryland was in
fourth place with s34, 900, $50.
Although wagering declined
in Massachusetts, bettors Of
the Bay state turned their
money over faster than the
citizens Of any other common
wealth. The average daily
handle In Massachusetts was
In excess Of $4,000. Florida
was second with an average
of $751; 900, and California
third around $4,000. Nu-
merous county fair circuits
with low handles cut down the
high average recorded at
Santa Anita.
Figures were not available in
two states. Neither the Louisiana
state racing commission nor man.
