INCORPORATED. AUTHORIZED CAPITAL, $ H PAID UP CAPITAL, ,ooo. H TURF Correspondents and Commissio fl STATE NATIONAL BANK BUILDING, -SjjH 619 COMMON ST., NEW ORLEANS, LA. Announcement. New Orleans, February 2, 1903. "V BY RILEY GRANNAN. SPECIAL DISPATCH. M To the American Racing Public: iH The Riley Grannan Company has been incorporated under the laws of the St: Louisiana, with a paid up capital of 00,000, for the purpose of transacting a generc jH information and commission business. I have been elected President and will dirt JH operations of the company in the interest of hundreds of friends who have already si -JH a desire to become patrons, and in the interest of the general racing public, whom JH be glad to enroll individually on the books of the company as regular subscribers to t H vice, full particulars of which are set forth below." I hope I need hardly refer to my long career as a bettor, bookmaker, handicappe M general form expert, or to my inside connections with prominent owners and train H secure patronage. Every angle of the game is an open book to me, and I have pledge self to the gentlemen who are backing me with practically unlimited capital to give t rons of the company the fruits of my experience. I have already organized a large si ifl dockers to watch the preparations of the horses on the ground in the early morning and may add that my force is the best organization of its kind which money and a to edge of experts can bring together. I have, also, heard from at least two hundred o and trainers within the past forty-eight hours who express willingness to put their est information within my reach. The handicapping I shall do myself. I am quite satisfied that the results which the company will be able to accomplish through this system of selecting winners will bring brilliant results. In all my racing career I have never had a losing week when I had for a basis such an organiztion. My personal winnings on such information have been as high as 200,000 in a single week My losses on the turf at different periods may be attributed to a stubbornness which at times I evinced in sticking to handicapping entirely. The racing experience I have had is probably unique in turf history, and I trust it is not immodist for me to say it is a valuable asset to a turf advisory bureau. That experience is now your property if you join us. Every morning I shall with the assistance referred to above, select what I consider the best and surest bets of the day, and oh these the Riley Grannan Company will play the money of its clients. On some days it may be impossible to arrive at a decision that there is a single good bet on the card. At others there may be four or five. The company will not therefore bind itself to make any stipulated number of bets. Such bets will be made that seem judicious, and no others. The Riley Grannan Company will conduct business on the following basis: Terms for information, per day and no charge unless we send you a starter. The smallest sum we will undertake to place for any client is 0 on each selection. The smallest account we will accept is .00. From every account we will deduct daily 1 advance for the information. At the end of each week a check will be mailed for a profits that accrue, less five per cent, of the net winnings which will cover our expensi j in placing your money. Whether the account wins or losses, a statement will be mailed "ut the end of each week. There is no limit to the amount which may be sent us for play. A remittance of 00 will insure a 0 play on each selection. A remittance of 00 will insure a 0 play on each selection. A remittance of 00 will insure a 0 play on each selection. A remittance of 00 will insure a 0 play on each selection. A remittance of 00 will insure a 0 play on each selection, and so on. The reason a sum so much in excess of a single bet is required is that the company will at times bet your money on losers as well as winners. The best horse does not win every race and we may have an occasional bad streak. By having a sufficient amount of capital with the company, you will in all probability be protected against such a contingency. I ; have never personally made over seven straight losing bets in mv life. Experiences 1 differ in this respect, but it would be the height of folly for anybody to send in an account to be played for him without protecting it against a few successive losers. I entertain the very greatest confidence in the ability of the company to make you a handsome winner. I have gathered about me the very best force of experts obtainable, and have backing to the extent that must enable me to succeed. I give you the strongest assurance that any accounts you intrust to the Riley Grannan Company will be playpd on the best selections that money and brains can secure, and that you will get the squarest run for your money that has ever been given to anybody in racing. This being my original venture in this department of the game, you will readily understand what success or failure means to me. I have a reputation to sustain and if I did not think I could sustain it and improve upon it, I would not now be addressing you. Here are a few additional particulars that have bearing on the plans of the Rilev 1 Grannan Company. - The charge for placing your money will be five per cent, of the net weekly profits Selections will be mailed to subscribers for whom we place money before the races arermY Racing enthusiasts who are in a position to operate their own money can haw tho information -wired to them every day at noon for 0 per dav.
