CHARMS WORKED BY TURFMEN THAT SHOW THEM W HETH E R THEY^ W UiL W I N - JOCKEYS DISMOUNTING AT TH E POST SAID TO PCX A CINCH ON THEIK WINNING ----- AN OLD m a n ’ s a r g u m e n t IN FAVOR OP THESE SIGNS— SUPERSTITIONS IN SHOE STRINGS,- BROKEN GLASSES AND GRAY HORSES— CERTAIN SEATS ON THE GRAND STAND SAID TO BE LUCKY. By A F . A i d r i- d g e . The horses were standing at the start ing post recently ready for a race. Bveryone was anxiously waiting for the fall of the flag. Suddenly a jochey dismounted. The saddle girth was tightened. “Is t h a t A n d e rson ?” shouted a h u n dred spectators, a n d h e a rin g t h a t it was, th e y rushed to t h e b e ttin g rin g to back; Fides, t h e horse A n d e r s o n w a s riding. This is the latest superstition among turfmen, who are perhaps the most super stitious of all gamblers. Every time Anderson or S-arrison dismounts from their horses at the post an army of men try to get another bet on. The dismount ing is termed putting on the cinch. This superstition was started at Graves end on May 18th. Anderson was riding Mr. Belmont’s filly Pides in a handicap sweepstakes race. The betting against Fides ■was three to one. 'While at the post Juggler, another horse starting in the samVrace, seized Anderson by the leg and threw him off Fides. Anderson tainted. When he recovered he re mounted Fides and rode her to victory. The superstitious bo'.e this in mind. Two days later Anderson rode Joe Lee in a handicap-sweepstakes. At the post he dismounted and had the girth tightened. A h u n d r e d betters rushed to the betting ring and backed Joe Lee. He won and they v/ere happy. On May 25 th, in the race for the Bedford stakes, Garrieon dis mounted from Padisha and afterwards won the race. How whenever either of .these two jockeys dismount when at the post the superstitious gamblers cannot place their money in the hands of the book-makers fast enough, and they claim that they always win. “H gw is it that gamblers, and especial ly gamblers on the turf, are so sujier- stitioii'S?” This Cjuestion was asked an old race g o e r r e c e n tly, b u t be denied -altogether th a t tu-ey w e re superstitious. IK-e said, ‘‘Backing horses in a- race is all a game of chance. You may have the very best horse in the race and may back him heavily, but through some mishap, such as the horse being pocketed, or slipping his bridle, he may be beaten. How these mishaps make the chance in the game, and there are certain signs that all race goers believe in that tell in when to back a certain horse and when to let him run vrithout carrying any money. Why, my dear boj, I would no more think ol back ing a horse that these signs and omens said would not win than I would attempt to fly.'” “How is it then that you don’t always win i Are the signs sometimes wrong V' “Never. The signs are always right, but we don’t always read them correctly, and even when we do we sometimes think we -know best. Then we have to suffer for our conceits.” “Just tell me of some of the signs that you go by’” “First of all I never make a bet unless I have my mascot with me. It is a ’ ^5 gold piece. It I should happen to leave it at home then I just watch the horse race, {^ometimes I have tried to win when I have not that gold piece with me, but I always lost, and so now I have given it up. T found that gold piece-sev eral years ago when coming through the gates at ’Jerome Park. I only had a fi-ve-dollar bill \ with me that day, and in the first race- I placed it on a horse that won and paid $56.75 for $5. I concluded that the $5 gold piece was meant to bring me good luck and determined to keep it. That day I won .$760 and ever since then I have never been without money. It is^ always a sure sign of ill luck with me if I get out of bed in the morning on the right hand side. And it would be a great deal better for me if I would get right back again and -sleep all day long. If on the other hand I get out on the right side and my right foot touches the floor first then that day will be a good one for me and I am perfectly safe in playing the races.” TO LOSE ON MONDAY A BAD O.MEN. “Monday is a bad day to lose on. If one starts the week badly then you may be sure it will end badly. If I lose on 5Ionday I rarely make another bet until the next Monday comes around.\ Some times I have varied this rule and tried to win but it is of no use. But there are hundreds of signs that would take me all <l-ay to tell you about. “Just the manT want to see. I have a real good thing in the third race.” “Excuse me to-day old man but I ’m not letting.” “WDy, what's the matter, sworn off ?” “No, but in lacing my shoe this morn ing I laced it -wrong. If I had left it laced wronsy all would have been -well, andT shou. have won but instead, I un- i-astened it and relaced it. That is a sure sign of ill luck.” It is a sure sign of bad luck if you break a glass while having a drink at the bar. It strikes you sometimes several w-ays. You lose your drink, spoil your clothes, have to p a y for t’ne glass and it is a sure forecast that you -will not win any more that day and if you have back ed any horse to win he will be beaten. Some betters believe in dreams. They will sometimes dream that a certain horse will win a race, and then back that horse when he next runs. An old turfman told this story about a dream recently: “It was two days before the Great American stakes was run at Gravesend I dreamed of the race. I saw quite distinctly a num ber of horses start, and ope a big chest nut win. 'Who he was I could not make out. I tried all day long to find out the name of this horse, but it was of no use. I had his picture stamped on my mind, and when I got to the track tried again to find out the name of this youngster, but i t . was no use. Just as the horses were going to the post I recognized my winner in the dream. It was August Belmont’s St. Carlo, ridden by Garrison. I rushed to the ring and managed- to put on some money* Well you know. St. Carlo won and I won $600. That’s one reason why I believe in dreams. lltck i n t h e h u n c h b a c k . Many believe that a hunchback is a sure sign of luck. In this superstition turfmen do not agree with actors. Many an actor has refused to play because he has seen a hunchback in the audience, and he believes it a sure sign of ill luck. Turfmen think differently. They say if you are in search of good luck never let a hunchback pass without touching the hump, no matter how lightly—the tips of the fingers will do. Then no matter how much you may have lost on . previous races you will win it all back again and much more besides. Some say that you must wish for luck at the same time that you touch the hunchback, and in order to work the charm, fne hunchback must be aware of your action. Cross-eyed persons bring good and bad luck with them. If a man sees a cross eyed woman he will have good luck, but this cross-eyed woman will bring bad luck to another woman. In the same way a cross-eyed man will bring good luck to a woman and bad luck to a man. Some persons claim that they carry mascots that will protect them from the ill luck caused in meeting.a cross-eyed person ol their own sex. All patrons of the race course are firrd believers in tbe old superstition about see ing the new moon first. It is good luck to see it first over the right shoulder, bad luck to look at it over the left shoulder, but best luck of all to look at it full in the face with money in your pocket. The money must be turned over while looking at the moon and it will double itself dur ing the next 24 hours. LUCK IN NUMBERS. There are even mere unlucky numbers in the doubting Thomas calendar than theie are days. Everyone, of course, is familiar with the fatality said to surround the number thirteen. If there are thir teen horses starting in a race, the one numbered thirteen has to be an extraor dinary good one before they 'will back it, and then they claim that nine times out of ten something will happen that will pre vent his winning the race and. the money. Many believe that luck surrounds certain numbers. Some will favor the number 7. Talking of this number a turfite recently said ; “I believe in No. 7. I discovered of it. On ^ . of it to friend and he told me to go to the races and try my luck by playing the horses numbered 7 on the progranime. I went, and No. 7 won the first race. I won $6, as it was the favorite. The horses num bered seven in the next two rases did not start, but they did in all the other events and I went home with $475 inrmy pock ets. Now I don’t contend that because I dreamt of No. 7 that I won, but I do contend that had I not dreamt of the same I should never have won. No. 7 is lucky with me in everything. If I board a car No. 7 in the morning luck-sticks to me all that day. In fact every time I see No. 7 I am lucky.” Others play -No. 1 or any number that they think brings luck. Some persons who play the races never like to win the first race. They will make a small bet on some horses and expect to lose. After that they will play heavily and are most confident of win ning. If they should win in the first race by any chance they will not bet any more as they are certain they will lose: ' Betters on home races are always on the lookout for some sign that will .point to a certain horse in the race. Going down to the Monir.outh Park races on the Sandy Hook boat they are always on the lookout for a pilot boat and then when they see the big number on the^-sail they regard it as a good omen and plan according to what the number points to on the programme. Others watch signs and listen for names. If they see a sign that bears the name of a horse Gr hear anyone mention the name of a horse in' some odd way they take it as a sure tip; that the horse will win the next time he; starts. Some men have so little faith in their own judgment of the merits of the horses; engaged to run, and believe so firmly that winning on a horse race is all a game of chance,'’that they will place the names of the horses written on separate pieces of paper in a hat and play the first one -they draw out. Others will throw an open knife at the card—of course a lucky knife—and the name ia which the blade sticks is the horse they select to carry their money. Here are -some signs which if followed accurately aro sure to bring wealth to anyone who tries to win at the races. They are given by an old race It is unlucy to whistle or sing before breakfast. If you should happen to do so, don’t touch the races that day or you will lose. It is unlucky to sneeze before break fast or when looking at the new moon. If you should sneeze on the new moon don’t touch a horse race until you see the the next new moon. It is bad luck to pass under a ladder, and on tbfi day that you do you won’t back a winner. If you break a looking glass bad luck will stick to you for a month, and if you sing or whistle at anv meal table bad luck will stick to you for nine days. At the race course recently one m an: said if the first horse he saw on the track: should happen to be a gray one he knew he would have good luck that day. Some immediately after making a bet go and drink a glass of beer. They say it puts a tenth on but how they do not ex plain. Others always put their tickets in a certain pocket They claim that if they allowed anyone else to touch them that something would happen to the horse to ---- ’ — ----------- how good it might he. Others always secure certaiu lucky seats on the grand stand,and if by any accident tbeir favorite seat s h o u ld be occupied t h e y are s u re t h a t th e y w ill n o t w in. A good story is told of Lawyer \Will iam P. Howe’s superstition. He fre quently visits the race course and bets a good deal on the horses. He does not take the tips from anybody but employs a little colored boy as a tout. A short time ago the two men were caught stand ing in a secluded corner of the paddock. The great lawyer had a wad of money in his hand rubbing it vigorously on the wool of the darkey who stood before him. “Eub,'Massa Howe, rub; dats good luck. Yon’s got a cinch shuah. I ’se got it straight. Now just rub once moah, and den git the biggest odds.” Mr. Howe didn’t make the bet. He tried to laugh at it as a joke. He 'won’t even say if the tip succeeded. Fred Walbaum is about the most su perstitious bookm a k e r in the, ring. Some time ago he made a book in a race in which Firenzi and Kingston started. Everyone else in the ring . made Firenzi favorite; Walbaum held out Kingston and laid good odds against Firenzi.\\ All in the ring laughed at him. Kingston ,W o n and then Walbaum laughed. He said, “I was going home on the elevated train last night and by some chance in the illuminated sign over the Kingston House the word Kingston alone was il luminated. I thought that at tip and it ' was.” A SaCe 'Conelnsion. Mrs. A. (eontinuiug the. discusskm)— And, pray what age were you, Maj. B., when yon were married? Maj.

IS THESE AM FRMJD'Iinr? The ^ Jury Said to 'H a v e Been Picked for the iiooused, HE WILL LITE IT DOWH. C h a b i i E s t o n , S. C., June-30.—The trial of Dr. T. B. MoDow, for the murder of Oapt. P.. W. I^awson, editor oftbe ‘rNe-ws and Courier,” has ended in the acquittal of the aeou&ed. The killing occurred on March 12 last, at the office of Dr. McDow. whither Capt. Dawson had 'gone to remonstrate over the doctor’s improper conduct to wards a young Swiss girl who had charge of the Da’wson children. The trial began on Monday of the past week and lias attracted large crowds daily, as Capt, Daweem was a popular and mfluential citizen. The defence put in a plea of self de fense. Five wRite -men and seven negroes Were on the jury, and it is intimated that politics entered into the making-up' oi’ the verdict. Tbe most sensational feature of the trial, and one of the most interesting ever characterizing a case of the kina, was the appearance and testimony of -the girl on whose account the cantain went to faee McDow. McDow’s kindly’ and gratuitous at tendance on some poor whites and blacks in the city may have had some thing todow'ith the verdict. The audience evidently did not expect the verdict of not guilty, as for a second or two aftor its delivery there was a ■palnlul silence. 'When the news got out of the court room there was the wildest enthusiasm anaong the vast congregation of negroes, Mon threw up their bats and clapped their handSi, women danced and shouted and were wild in their % 'here was a very different feeling among the white peqple there. The Verdict was a surprise to the commun ity. At litot it was not believed that it could be true. When tbe solemn truth dawned upon the people, however, there was a feeHns of indignation. The feel ing of tbe conservative element is well expressed by a clergyman, who, when he heard the verdict, remarked: , this clea ^ human life in South Carolina. Who “Well, this clearly shows tbe value of knows who will be the next victim?’ When the jury was drawn it was Openly charg^ that there bad been fraud in tbe drawing;, and that a jury had been arranged to acquit McDow. I t w a s known that at least two of the officers uhargod with the drawing of the Jury were hostile hi their feelings toward Gaptain Da-wson. But the majority of the people were loath to believe that there had been any fr-aud. 'Now many do believe that tire jury was a picked McDow went to bis home after be was given his fi;eedom, and nothing has been B een of him since.
