(From the Pittsburg Gazette.) Although horse-racing is no longer an amusement for this part of the country and will be confined to Southern tracks until the spring opens,’ it is always earnestly discussed in New York. There is one part of upper Broadway which ig Known as “the Broadway Paddock.” It runs from Madison square to Forty- second street—being, in fact, almost identical with the district famous as the Rialto, In nearly a dozen hotels along this section there may be found groups of horsemen from many cities sitting In the lobbies and chatting about their favorite sport. Some of them merely look into the hotels to speak to a friend or two and get out. Amon) these flying visitors may mention: Capt. "Sam' Brown and E. B, Smath- ers, Occasionally J. D. Callery may be seen for a few moments, while other Pittsburgers who possess fine horses and like to hear the latest horse gossip of the metropolis drop into the where they know they will get it hot from the griddle, It is characteristic of ‘the Broadway Paddock" that most of tho horsemen seen there are actual -| owners and lovers of horses for their own sake, and distinct from the betting element. “Pittsburg Phil" is a frequent visitor to the ‘‘Paddock,’’ but then he is a horse-owner as well as a betting man.
