He was 84 years old In partnership with John Daly. widely known gambler of the perind, Gidcon gathered a string of expen- sive race horses. The regularity with which their entries won important races soon made them the envy of other owners. including August Bel- mont, who hired away Gideon's jockey and trainer in an effort to duplicate the successes of the Gid- eon-Daly string. The first futurity to go to their colors was in 1891. It was won by His Highness. a horse purchased from Belmont. In 1894 another Gid- con horse, The Butterflies, took the futurity and the event was won the third time the next year with Re- quital, Gideon was assoclated with lead- ing politicians of his time, having served in the assembly from the dis- trict controlled by the Iate Chamber- lain Patrick Keenan, whose protege he was. He was & close friend of Richard Croker and was said by friends to have been one of the leaders in making Croker leader of Tammany Hall. Croker's colt Orby, which was trained in the Gideon stable, won the derby in England. The trophy was sent by the Tammmany leader to Gideon. At the peak of his success as a breeder and owner of winners, Gid- eon was known as a heavy plunger at the tracks, He had consistent |success as a better for a number of years. The racing stable, owned by Gid- eon alone after he dissolved his partnership with Daly, was sold at auction in 1910 and he lost his in- terest in the affairs of the race tracks. He died at his home at Lawrenee, Long Island. His wife survives. In 1922 he was before Justice Scudder at Mineola, Long Island, in LMESS LD GOLD N HOUR h his com- oLD GoLD System.
