4 THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JANUARY 30, 1910. KING EDWARD AS A TURFITE ‘What the Royal Colors Have Earned in Thirty-Two Years, KING HAS NEVER SCORED IN OAKS — s in Derby, Ome in the Grand Nationgl and ' Numerous Wins in’ Other mig Races. It fs now golng on thirty-three years since the royal colors—purple, gold braid searlet sleeves, bldck velvet cap with gold fringe—made their appearance on the turf, and in that stretch of years King Edward has had a varfed and interesting career as a racing man. He has had his ups and downs galore, but it is remarkable that he is one of two living owners who has won the Derby three times, the other being Lord Rosbery. Along with being the only reigning monarch to win a derby he s a liberal patron of the cross-country events and has once annexed the blue rib- bon of the chase—the Liverpool Grand Na- tional. Other big races have fallen to the king, but it is singular that so far he has not won the Oaks, though he has had a close shave for firet. money, particifiarly last year, when his filly, Princess de Gallles, pushed the winner hard. This year he is well represented In the classics, though none of his youngsters has shown extra form. Though the royal colors were registered with the Jockey club in 1§73, they did not actually appear Uil four years later on a stoeplechaser named Leonidas, who. was ridden in a military steeplechase at Alder- shot by Captain Wenty Hope Johnstone, but without result. Under jockey olub rules the royal colors first appeared at the Newmarket July meeting of 1577. The king was then the prince, of Wales, and among the few animale he owned was an Arab named Alep, thought by many of the royal trainers to be possessed of some speed. At that time Lord Strathnairn lowned another of the same breed and the pair were matched for $2,600 a side over !a course of four miles. The illusion that the royal animal could gallop was quickly dispelled, for he was beaten thirty lengths and In time so slow that It demonstrated that the Arab was nowhere with the English thorougbbred. About this time the Prince of Wales had {other Interests in horses in conjunction with Lord Allesbury. A couple of years later the prince decided he would go In for racing on a larger scale and as his ohlef adviser then was Lord Marcus Beres- |ford it was only. natural that he should jhave all to do with the prospective racing stable. Steeplechasing was first attempted | 'and the royal colors appeared on a horso |oalled Scot in 184. On account of his good work previously he started a-favorite, but |after passing Becher's brook he came a 'cropper at one of the fences, the race Boing to Voluptuary, who afterward figured | in the drama. The next horse of any note to do duty for tha royal stable was Hohenlinden /and his best win was the Naval and Military |steeplechase at Kempton park, and a half brother of his, named, Magic, won several ,minor events. This was in 188 and that was the first year the king figured among the winning owners of the English turf, his total being §1484. In 1887 the prince had & few hofses, one of them belng Loyallst, @ half brother to Paradox, winner of the Two Thousand Gulneas of 1885, and a chestnut filley, named Counterpane, She started second favorite for the Stockbridge cup and on the home stretch seemingly had the race at her mercy when all of a sudden sho stopped and fell dead. Loyalist was spoken of as a splendid looking horse, but he was destined to never see a racecourse, for he broke down early In training. For the seasons of 1857 and 1888 there Is no mention of the prince in the winning owner's list, but in 1889 he collared two races worth $1,09, one being & selling race at Goodwood. The royal colors did a little better In 188, for they wore seen to the front in four races, worth $3.470, and In 1891 the total was still better. | That year the figures were $20,740, but there Wwas a big drop the next year, only $7,120 belng shown. In 1893 the prince ordered his horses re- moved from Kingsclere to Newmarket, whers they were placed under the care of Richard Marsh, the present trainer, who took Eigerton house from Lord Ellesmere, 50 that the royal horses could be properly housed ‘and cared for. The string which Marsh found at his disposal was a miser- ably small one, there being nothing worth a straw for either the Derby, Oaks or any other race for that matter, so it Is not surprising that at the end of the season the total winnings were $1,600. Things were somewhat better in 1894, when the total reached $17,4%, and In 1595, | $41,95, made principally by Persimmon as 8 2-year-old. He first appeared in the | Coventry stakes at Ascot, which he won in a canter, and he followed up the vic- tory by another clever win in the Rich- mond stakes at Goodwood. That same year Leopold de Rothschild showed & first-class 2-year-old in St, Frus- quin, who had won three of his four races, being only beaten in the other when he was asked to glve away a lot of welght. Naturally the public was anxious to see | the pair meet, and the opportunity offerea in the Middle Park Plate, which then, as nOW, was regarded as the 3-year-old Derby. Prior to the race Persimmon was coughing, but when the day of the race came around 1¢ was thought he w sufficiently re- covered and he was sent to the post and | made a favorite at 2 to 1. St. Frusquin made all the running and won by a length from the filly Omladina, with Persimmon | five lengths away in third place. Early In his S-year-old season Marsh | gave the colt a trial and was horrified by | his lack of anything like first-class form. There was a consultation over his condl- | tion &nd it was decided that there must | be something wrong with him and an ex- | /pert Veterinary was called in who pro~} jmouniced the colt to be suffering from an | {uicorated t3oth. A course of treatment | made this all right, but it was thought | better not to start him in the Two Thoul-! and Guineas. The race was won by St Frusquin, and he d}d his work in such fashion that he was Immediztely planted s first favorite for the Derby, Meantime | Porsimmon was tried with Balsamo .and | the royal one had so much the best of it ' that Marsh considered him to be very | nearly recovered. He was tried again be- foro the Derby over & mile and a halt against Glentlit and Safety Pin, the prince and princess belng present at the gallop. Both the trial horses were good movers and could stay the distance, but they could not hold Perstmmon at any stage of ‘the #ullop, and at the end he raced clean away from them. However, St. Frusquin had done all that was asked of him in public and It was little wonder that he went to the post with odds of 13 to § on him, Per- slmmon being 'kecond cholce at 6 to 1. The finish is still-remembered by those wWho saw It, Persimmon getting home by a | neck, the victory belng largely credited to | Watts, his jockey, ‘& 'strong man in‘a close | finish, About a month later the pair met In the Prinde of Wales stakes at New- | market, 8t. Frusquin having the elight ad- | vantage of three pounds in the wal‘hu.\ which made & diffevence, for St. Frusquin | won by half a length. These cracks never met again, for St g ¥ | and with Anthony Frusquin broke down in the Eclipse stakes at Bandown, while Persimmon won the St Leger and the Jockey Club stakes, which that year was worth $44950. He was even better as a 4-year-old, being In a eclass by himselt, the Ascot cup belng one of his chief vigtorles. In 1596, the year of Persim- mon's Derby ‘the Prince headed the list of winning owners for the first time with a total of $134,465, but next year the total took & drop to 17,750, In 1898 the, Prince dropped lower, for he had only $32,600 at the close of the season, but his success loomed up again in 1899 with the debut of Diamond Jubiles, the son of St. Simon and Perdita, this Jatter mare belng responsible for the best part of the success of the roval stable. Like Per. simmon, Diamond Jubllee was given his tirst public airing in the Coventry stakes at Ascot. He ran well when he liked and pretty bad when he didn’t. Prineipally on account of his relations he was an even money favorite, but he proved a great dis- appointment to his backers. He gave a dieplay of bad temper at the gate and when the horses did finally break away he refused to gallop kindly and finished a poor fourth. He was tried again in the July stakes at Newmarkoet, but here he acted like a crazy horse and in one of his capers before the gate bolted Into a ditch, and when the start was finally effeoted, Watts, his jockey, eould do nothing with him. Soon after Marsh concelved the idea of changing jockeys and he tried Mornington Cannon. The plan was a good one and in the Prince of Wales stakes, Diamond Jubl- lee came home second, showing that he could run when he wanted. With Cannon on his back he won the Boscawen stakes, but had to be driven hard, and this not being suitable to his disposition Mornington Lecame his enemy then and there. Marsh made -another change of riders, the third choice being Herbert Jones, who the vear previously had ridden forty-three races. It was thought to be an unwise move to put such an finexperienced man up, but Diamond Jubilee seemed to take to Jones and did well wheri he had. him in the saddle. Jones hall the leg up on the stubborn one when he won the Two Thousand Guineas by four lengths and he brought home in the Derby though at one time he did not seem to have much heart in the way he fan. After doing some splendid work at’ the stud, Diamond Jubfle was sold to a South American breeder for $150,000. 1t that the king has a great love for steeplechasing and his suc- cesses and fallures under national hunt rules make a very Interesting story. In 1898 his aftention was attracted to a horse named Ambush IL, by Ben Battle and Miss Plant, and on the advice of Lush- ington, who looks after the royal chasers, the horse was purchased. Ambush IL ig well known | started in the Grand National of 1899 and though but a 5-year-old, jumped the course safely, though he could get no nearer the front than seventh. Next year, carrying the king’s colors, he was almost favorite in the saddle he won ¢ four lengths from Barsac, to whom he was glving ninetcen pounds. In third | place came Manifesto, a neck behind B sac, and with 181 pounds on his back. Am- bush II. started the following year, carry- ing the top welght of 17 pounds, but he never got the course. After Moifaa's vic- tory In 1904, the king bought him for $2,- 000, but the New Zealand chaser never won a racs In the royal colors. Last year the king won the Derby with Minoru, the detalls of which are pretty well known. Though he made only sec- ond In the list of winning owners he made a flne showing, his total for the season belng over $100,000. Mmoru wil carry the royal colors again this year. Arran, Semedule. IOWA CITY, Ia., Jan. 29.—(Special)— Base ball managers of every one of the Jemding colleges in state of Iowa met here today at the Invitation of Martin H. Smith, the ‘manager of the University of lowa athletic teams. Schedules for the spring were tentatively arranged Dy the repre- sentatives. The visitors were entertained at the Burkley Imperial at dinner and aft wards attended the Iowa-Grinnell game as the guests of the lowa management. Colleges BRIDGE CRAZE IN BUSINESS Enormous Outlay for Card Game Ac- cessories. MORE WORK FOR PRINTERMAN Five Times as Many Cf Sold as Five Years Ago—T: Used in Makin Cards. NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—A matter scarcely considered whep the bridge fever first hit New York waé the impetus it would give certain lines of business. What this im- petus has been may be judged from the statement of the head of the second largest playing card manufactory in the United States, that twenty years ago he was turn- |ing out fifty gross of packs a day. Nine i.vnm later the factory’s output was elghty gross a day. For the last two years or so its output has been about 150 gross a day, or nearly 7,000,000 packs annually. The output of the largest factory Is about 20,0000 packs a year. The total product of the five factories in this coun. try which make playing cards only is at a conservative estimate about 50,000,000 packs a year. To this must be added the product of a few small concerns. Speaking ~offhand, the manufacturer Quoted sald he thought about 500 per cent more playing cards were sold now than were sold twenty-five years ago, and ths most noticeable increase has been in tho last ten years, or since bridge jumped into wide popularity. Bridge had penetrated into homes which had previously kept card games out. ‘The manufacturer told of a progressive bridge party given re- cently at the rectory of a Catholie chureh in Greater New York when 200 tables were in commission and 400 packs of cards were ordered directly from him, such cases on a smaller scale being of everyday occurrence. The Increased sales of playing cards, he believes, are due to eome extent to a stricter observance of that phase of card etiquette which demands new cards at every sitting. Women at thelr bridge lubs or at thelr formal private bridge parties are greater sticklers on this point than formerly. At up-to-date bridge parties two packs tahle fe the rule and there are expert players of both sexes who will :& use the same pack of cards twice. Naturally this means that instead of buying one pack of cards at a time the average card player buys a dozen packs and at that he demands a better quality than once satisfled the general public. When asked if the tremendous inerease in the number of playing cards sold atd not indicate a’relative Increase in gamb- | ling, especially. among women. the manu facturer replled with emphasis: “Not at all. T am asked over and over again that question by persons who know {that T am acquainted with a host of per- {sons soclally who play cards as well as with hosts more in a business way, and my invariable answer is that only about 10 per cent of card players gamble, that s, play for money. “Playing for prizes is more general than formerly, but that hagdly comes under the head of gambling. The very fact that cards are used openly in the home by every member of the family helps to keep down instead of to increase gambling, in my opinion."” As on offset to this opinion a New York woman who plays bridge every time she has a chance and says she never gets enough of it, finds that about 30 per cent of her women friends play for money whenever they have the opportunity, and that the tendency to play for money is in- creasing all the time among New York women. It s the manufacturers of score pads and tally cards, though, who relatively have benefited nfost from the increased popularity of card games. Enormous quan- | titles of these articles are now fleeded to satisty the demand, and ‘of qualities and more original designs are called for. One manufacturer fturns out more than 100 designs In fine bridge tally cards alone. When it became certain that the game of bridge was established on a more of less permanent foundation, that it was not the passing fancy of a season, men almost new at the business began adding score cards as & slde line and In every case, as It turned out, at a substantial profit to themselves. One manufacturer, who six years ago hadn't dipped into the business at all, started to turn out lithographed in- stead of printed bridge score pads, which he would sell at the same price, and instead of offering half a dozen designs he offered forty designs. The new pads, which pro- vide for every intricacy of the game, can be had in almost any color and quality of paper, In any size and at a wide range of prices. Five tons of paper is consumed in turning out one edition, or 60,000 of these pads, The stock on hand of this manufacturer Is usually from 300,000 to 30,000 pads, and this represents only a fraction of the total number of score pads consumed by the public every year. The most Interest- ing point about his businiess, he says, is that ten years ago he would not have dared to put large quantities of these 800ds on the market, the demand then for score pads and tally cards being less than one-third what it s now. Sald he: “In this age of speclalizing producers who want to make money must put out something original. A score may be kept perfectly well on the margin of a news- paper, but most women like something artistic to keep score on. There are women, plenty of them, who won't use anything so ordinarily as & score pad, especially on state occasions. They must have a beautifully decorated tally card. “Myself, I specialize on the most artistic pad possible to produce at a popular price and I make money at it. Others in the business spectaiize on a quite different style of pad and there is no wolf around their door either. “There are manufacturers of tally cards which sell at top prices, of tally cards which sell at bottom prices, and both classes make a handsome profit on their 800ds because the demand such things 1s now enormous.” A maker of the better :rade of tally durds sald that his own experience led him to belleve that five times more score cards and pads are now sold than weio sold ien vears ago and twice as many as were rold five years ago. “The money spent every year In New York for score cards and chips alone, leaving out playing cards, mounts far up in the thousands,”” he declarsd, “and the orders for -hese from other purts of the country, Including suburban districts, have proportionately Increased faster than orders trom New York and nearby large cities. There are decorations ~appropriate for certain holldays like Thanksgiving, Mal- lowe'en, Christmas and Independence d Large quantities of tally cards witn a plain outside cover are sold to glvers of private bridge parties, who have thain dec- orated by hand with criginal designs, son:e- times matching tne foibles of the guests, Who keep them as souvenirs. The game of MW, comparatively & viw- comer, has also helped to make money for the score card manufacinars, mest of whom make several varleties of score cards for this game. Compared with Lridge score cards, though, these are one to fifty. ' In speaking of the enormous quantities of poker chips made, bought and sold every year a leading manufacturer said he thought that the quantity sold, which has not Increased to,any great extent in the last five years, is less remarkabls than the quality of some of the varieties turned out to meet the exacting tasc:s of men with plenty ofemoney to spend. Kor in- stance, fvory sets costing from §100 to $150 are not: at ‘all funcommon and these after they are decorated with the owner's mon- ogram or initial cut on.both sides of the chipscost exactly twice as much. Poker Iate better for ohips Inlald with pear! are now bought in as large quantities as ° ¢ variely costing $1 & 100 used to “About 50 per cent of the paker ohips bought are used for countars for several other games besides poker,” wald the nAnt facturer, ‘‘or tiso wouid be a big| drop in the number made “It poker was a woman's game to the extent that bridge 1s, poker chip manu- facturers would make fortunes in a hurry. As & matter of fact since bridge became #o | universally popular there has been little | increase in the demand for poker chips There might have been a falling off were It not that chips are used for count- | ers in so many games just now. | “Here we make poker chips which retail from 3 cents & 100 to 50 cents each and our output is 30,00 a day or about 9,000,000 chips a year. “What the other factories turn out I| have no idea. But It Is safe to say that| when compared with the gross total of poker chips used in the United States, | three times what it was twenty years ago, the quantity turned out of this factory is only a drop In the bucket." BIRDS OF AIR GET BIG MONEY —_— | Enormous Purses Offered for Nervy Men to Fly. NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—More than $500,000 in prize money will be offered this year for aviation meets held under the auspices of the International Aeronautical federa- tion. Fourteen meets are scheduled be- tween April 10 and November %, for which the total sum of $416,000 has already been promised. This does not'include the meets at Berlin, 8t. Petersburg, Milan, in Eng- land and the Umited States. According to the rules of the Interna- tional Aeronautical federation no city may be granted exclusive dates for an aviation meet unless at least $40,000 in prize money is offered. No amount so far has been guaranteed fo. the American and two Eng- lish meets, but it is certaln that more than $40,000 will be offered at each of thess, as exclusive dates have been granted the clubs behind the meets. The Berlin, St. Petersburg and Milan dates are not ex- clusive, therefore it is probable that the amount of money that will be offered In these three cities will not reach the limit The longest dates awarded are those secured by the Aero Club of America. This meeting will close the series of official flights, the week being devoted to com- petition for the Go Rennatt cup. The American dates are from October 18 to November 2. Several cities have bid for the aviation meets awarded to the United States, but no selection will be made until all the bids are in. It is not improbable that the meeting will take place at the Belmont park race track, although Wash- ington, Detroit, St. Louls and other cities are keen bidders for the attraction. The dates, cities and amounts of the Adifferent prize money for the year follows: April 10 to 25—Nice; $46,000. May 10 to 16—Berlin; not exclusive. May 20 to 30—Verona; $42,000.
