NOTES OF THE TURF. C. T. C, Chicago. If the bookmaker understood and agreed that your bet was not to go unless Carter rode the horse you bet on you are entitled to a draw, otherwise you should pay. You cannot reasonably expect the bookmaker to be bound by your own mental reservations unless you communicated to him the conditions governing your bet. F. S. I., Chicago. Your wager was a draw. When it was made Yardarm was "in sight" to you and the bookmaker alike in the second race only, and, the common sense of the case is that you bet on Yardarm in the second race and the bookmaker accepted the bet on that race. Elliott, Chicago. The delay at the post in the American Derby of 1893 was nearly two hours, a shade over one hour and fifty minutes.but cannot now state the exact number of minutes. Hogan, St. Louis. Cannot find a horse of the name mentioned either in the Stud Book or in racing records. You must be in error as to the name. Erb, Peoria. A bet made on one horse of an entry is decided by the running of that horse alone. F. R. W., Chicago. Chicago time and Detroit time is the same. Wm Jones, Chicago. Your wager on Fa-vonius was a loser. J. E. S., New Orleans, La. Have no knowledge of the table you inquire about. M. F., Chicago. Toledo was 1 to 4 to show. P. McD, Chicago. Do not find that Louisville won at the odds named by you. T. W., Chicago. T. Knight is colored and a very good rider. Kaufmann, Memphis, Tenn. Your wager on Don Alvaro was a loser.
