busy trying to get together the shekels necessary to purchase a ticket to a warmer clime and their brethren of the north fondly talked of the coming of the days when craps would be the winter sport and opossum take the place of watermelon watermelonTwenty watermelon Twenty regular and two field bookmakers were on Riley Qrannan Trainman arrived from New York City and cut in on the dead line

against a horse and when a forest of bank notes were shoved at him he would be so busy chalking up and rubbing prices that no Vij Vi had a chance to get money into his hand vYith Yitzhak George Rose on the next box laughing and Marcus Cartwrighfsawing wood on the stand at his right Carroll kept up his antics for some minutes Encouraged by a crowd comprised of hundreds and settling down to real booking at last he had accomplished his purpose for J J Carroll has the reputation of being known by sight and name by almost every racegoer racketeer racegoerHer racehorse Her Favor and Hardly had

the boy to ride yesterday and not only this but the owner put 200 on his horse He was rewarded by seeing Traverser Traverse win all the way Ailyar Halyard was always second two lengths back and May W third by a like distance Traverser Traverse won hard held while Ailyar Halyard was whipping an eighth out The start was a fairly good one Our Nellie breaking last Sea Lion met with interference and

third race What er Lou leading but as Beauchamp Beach on the favorite refused to set the fl Rutter Ruttier played into his hand and sent ry Leaf along At the half mile ground on the backstretch Cherry Leaf was first by an open length What er Lou second The Devil and Azucena Sauce paired two lengths away Closer order on the upper turn and What er Lou passed Cherry Leaf entering the straight where Azucena Sauce made her run but could never get by The Devil At the final eighth one cut of the whip sent What er Lou an open length to the good and Cherry Leaf dying was beaten whipped out for third

fellow was practically ignored Zolo Zoo led all the way and up the backstretch was lengths to the good but at the finish he was all out and Gold Band ran him to a nock The ride on Gold Band was se ¬ verely aversely criticized as lying in a prominent place up the backstretch Holden Olden dropped her out of the race on the upper turn seeing which the cry arose An accident has happened to Gold Band In the homestretch Holden Olden came up very fast on the inside rail Now it may be possible that the boy fancied he was riding Diggs Digs who can win from any old place Parties familiar with Gold Bands running say that she always goes to the front provided she has speed enough The mare certainly died in front at her last start Mr Benson a shrewd turfman Truman when asked what happened to Gold Band answered sadly I dont don't knowl know Something always happens to the horses I bet on Bridgeton Bridgetown was outrun the first part of the race but finished strong landing third from Count
