I J HUMOR OF THE RACE TRACK. "Well, thats the limit." said Fred Slocum after the race which Charlatan won at Latonia October 24. "AVhats the matter?" was asked. "Why, a man bet me 00 on him at 9 to 5 ana he dropped right back of . the book and pushed up ills ticket and never looked at the race." i Tim Murphy came near winning a bunch of money at Latonia October 24 through a- telegraphic error. IIu got a message to bet 0 on Bess AVard, and he bet It at 40 to 1 with Fontelien. Just before the horses were off be got another message that it should have been ,?5, not 0. So Tim rushed back and got the bet off excepting he , and that saved Chevalier Fontelien ,S00.
