OF racing, there is great DO
tential business for New Han
over county from the wintering
OF race horses, Columbia and
Aiken, South Carolina have
been capitalizing on this for
years. Back some Is years or
more ago, Clarence and Monty
Buxton, who train a public
stable for New Workers., came
South in search of. a place
where they could train horses
outside throughout the winter
months. They selected Column.
bia, S. c., as an experiment
and the next winter brought
a couple dozen horses to the
Palmetto state capital for
training. From that modest be-
ginning, the Columbia winter
horse colony now totals some
1880 head each winter. Aiken
has almost as many each year.
Very few folks have any
idea of the revenue to be de-
rived from this source. Fees
for training race horses at
present average $500 per day.
Two-thirds of this goes to
exercise boys, grooms and
veterinarians in wages and
fees. The dealers in hay, oats
and straw get their share of
the revenue, too. If New Han
over county could attract 1000
head of horses for winter prep
aration each year it would
mean a potential revenue of
around $4,000 per day for five
months, or a possible total of
better than $500, 900. Hotels,
feed dealers, clothing stores,
barber shops and the many
other lines of business would
get most, if not all this reve-
nue., and at a time of tn eyear
when added revenue would be
welcome.

IN 4 SPORTS 4
BY Roy Cook

Our old. friend, UNFOR
sPORTSBY, has arrived back
In town after a trip to Florida,
he says.
The first thing. he noticed on
his return was the talk about
horse racing, in New Hanover
county. II thought I might
throw in my two-cents WORTH"
he wrote.
The following lettel came to
cur desk via the U. S. Mails
early Tuesday morning.
Bear Cookin'
Despite the controversies that
will come over the proposal to
poII the electors of New Han
over county on or before jan
uary /, 1919, on the subject of
.egaiized horse racing and pari-
mutuel betting, there seems
to me, more merit to the propo-
siJon than meets the eye at
first glance. &C..
Most of the expected contro-
yersies, which will shoulder
long before coming to the sur
face 49, will in the end prove
synthetic. This will be the case,
think, among those of the cit
izenry who will oppose the prop
osition. The majority will be
the don't quote me-" and
"off-the-record," boys who will
wish to play ball without per-
sonally going to bat.
Racing as you no doubt are
aware, is one of the oldest Of all
sports and whether my clergy
friends will agree or not, 1t is
also one of the best regulated
sports catering to the public to-
day. Racing associations at
home and abroad are doing a
bang-up job Of keeping "The
Sport of Kings" clean. Gone to-
day Is the so-called riff-raff, to
which many Of those who do not
know racing, associate with 1t.
Pinkerton detectives patrol all
recognized race tracks of Amer
lea and are ever on the alert
to keep undesirable element
outside the gates. Touts are
barred-doping of horses taboo
and subject to Punishment from
further participation, and exer-
else boys, grooms, trainers and
jockeys must hold licenses pass
ed upon by stewards Of the
Jockey club.
While 1t is true that horse
racing cannot be profitably
conducted without betting, the
pari-mutuei system, where the
public makes the odds - not
the bookmakers-has proven to
be the ideal answer to an other
wise highly controversial prob
lem. Gate receipts alone will
not take care Of adequate
purses, and adequate purses
are essential when it comes to
attracting the better class OF
horses to a race meet.
There are those who hold
that betting is evil. Well per-
haps, Cookin; it is. But I know
that no one ever forced me to
to bet on a Eee-gee and / have
torn up my. share of mutuel
tickets and have also cashed
a few. No man or woman
forces another man or woman
to bet q half-cent a point at
the bridge Or pinocle table
and both these indoor pastimes,
as well as gin-dummy, account
for many thousands Of gambl-
ed dollars In the United States
every day. More money is
xambled on baseball pools,
football polls and bridge,
every day-day in and day out
than there is wagered at
the half-dozen tracks which
operate daily in the United
States.
