HOW THE PARSON TIPPED A WINNER. It seems that a parson may, do worse than occasionally tip a winner become the author of an anti-racing bill, for instance. The Rev. II. M. Ncild. in the columns of The Young Man, tells how he first gained the ear of the working classes at the Weslcyan mission in Bradford. England: "1 was announced to speak on horse racing from the title Whatll Win? Iu the vestry I found a postcard, which read: Re J-our address. "Whatll Win?" Ilacklers Pride is good business for the Cambridgeshire. Anxious to see what,-proportion of betting men I had in the 2,."00 assembled. I read the card to the crowd. The answering roar at the horses name told inn all I wished to know, and for forty minutes 1 bad strained attention as I showed that workingmen were being rogued and rooked wholesale by an organized conspiracy on the part of bookmakers, touts, tipsters and trainers. The sequel was astonishing. Ilacklers Pride won the race the fol lowing Wednesday. As hy magic it went through the city, and particularly the workshops, that the parson at Easthrook had tipped the winner for the Cambridgeshire. "
