No Outsiders Bet on Him in the Fifth Race, but the Talent "Was Aboard on Baggerly in ' the First Event, "Phe pool-room men are asking if the Nd fs really on in little old New York, nd that they think such may be the ease Js apparent from the unanimity with which they bike away to New Terpey every day about an hour before the ponies come to the post at the Bouthern tracks, Not all are found in the «ay procession, but enough to make Forty-second street look lone- some for a hours, while Paterson, N. J., takes the talent to tts bosom for @while, and enables the ‘Honest Johns” of dope books and racing charts to turn a penny, and thus save themselves the necessity of going, like Murphy, to the Bronx in search of dia- *“monds, with revolvers and dynamite. Paterson may not know it, but it ts Not the fault of the pool-room men that she is mot wise to what és doing, When the "Pool-room Accommodation,” as it is called, pulls out from Jers 204 every afternoon, it looks money for the bookies, Hvery car Is full, and almost every man has a lot Of “dope” In his hands and epends his time betwoon the Hudson and Passaic @tudying the chances at New Orleans, Meet as Strangers on Train, Tt is a matter of honor for them to be strangers to one another until in the peclusion of a well equipped pool-room fat Paterson they can safely throw off the mask, and call each other “Billy” and “Kid,” with the old abandon of the days before’ ‘the lid” was men- toned as a political necessity, When the train reached P-tereon a Sporty-looking man in @ gray ulster with @ Jarge bundle of racing sheets and dope books under his arm hurried to & fine stone building In Market street and entered Ina rush, Three other sporty-looking men wear- ing, diamonds followed as if booked for she hurry-up wagon, and fifty or more men with money strolled carelessly in the samo direction.
