SOME CHANCE ON THE TURF. Mr. Horatio Bottomlev. M. P.. an Knglish turf man and stock broker, "reflects" in the following terms in a comparison betwt-en "racing" men and "city" men: "There is no middle degree in the racing world. A unan will either help himself bv raking your watch and Hiain. or to help you he will give you his. In the city it is different. There everybody is after your watch and chain. The onlv question is to secure them without getting landed in jail. If you can convince the owner that tin-best thing he can do is to commit the articles to your care, to lie dealt with by you as you think fit. well. then, you are a financier, but if vou take them in anv other way you are a thief." — Man Chester. Eng.. Sporting Chronicle.
