"Charley" Glidden, o« ho la popularly
known In the little manufacturing city

than enough mouoy to put a new set of

has ridden, simply by being wist* to the
fact that a certain stock would not always

away and kept getting more, and when
the company waa organised he Imd so tunny
that he baa been "It" ever since.

of counting all the telegraph poles In New

having followed the poles through nearly
every state In the union, he started off to
find the one furthest north. This I* the

New York, Nov. 3.—With the Inau
guration of the final meeting of the
Metropolitan season at Aqueduct today
the winter campaigner, be he owner,
Jockey or common rank soldier of
fortune, bethought himself of the shift
to salubrious Southern clime*.
Thl* current meeting of the Queens
County Jockey Club here at Aqueduct

very next day, the race track army In
vades Washington, D. O., where the an
nual autumn term of the Washington
Jockey Club at Henning, D. C. f en
sues for n run lo December 1. Then
come* the long drop down to New Or
leans, La, or across the continent to
Lo* Angeles, Cal., or Han Francisco,
Cal. In fact, racing at these points
commences Home time before the close

up ut New Orleans, the Saturday be
fore Thanksgiving day, or November
support of John W. Gates. He will
take twelve useful horses West late
this week, with Arthur Kedfern- as his
Jockey, the lutter ugreeing to make 105
pound* for Durnell by December IB.
New Orleans Is in for one grand win
ter of racing and general, all-round
sport. Nuthanson say* every stall at
the fair grounds hu* been let, while
he expects about thirty bookmakers to
declare In on Thanksgiving Day.
Cook Goos West.
Tulking of bookmakers reminds me
of Fred Cook's Intention to race and
book at New Orleans’ rival, Oakland.
Cook left here last Heptember shortly
after a maiden colt of his happened to
be left at the post after being played
from A to 1 to 7 to 10. Cook's trainer,
"Bill" Phillip*. Is now speeding to
Frisco with a collection of horses, Joint
ly owned by Cook and J. W. Dobson.
Cook intends to make a $100,000 book
there. ' iim interesting thing ubout
4. The new California Jockey Club J-ook'ii .lefectlon la In the suspicion of
commence* Its 150 day*’ session on No
vember 17 at Ouklund.
However, It Is of Now Orleans the
majority of Kastern .racing folk w
most. Kvery autumn the agent* of the
respective racing association* In IjouIs-
ianu and the California* wage a brisk
campaign among the owners, bookmak
ers, Jockeys, etc., with an idea of di
verting their presence to their particu
lar coui'Me*. These advance agent*
have made a warm fight of It this fall.
"Jimmy” Scanlon, one of the best-liked
and progressive hustler* from the Pa
clfle roust, representing Tom Williams'
Oakland game, while John Boden, Hr.
tho newly appointed secretary at Loi
Angeles, Cal., ha* been looking after
the Ascot Park's Interest*. Not until
the last few days did either of the New
Orleans osnoclutluns—the Crescent City
Jockey Club and the City Park Jockey
Club—have a booster on the grounds.
Martin XatliAtisou Is now doing a lit
tle missionary work here at Aqueduct.
City Park Is unrepresented, and so far
not a single stake book or announce
ment of any sort respecting tho Corri
gan plant has come to band.
Coast Tracks Busy.
Naturally the California tracks lmve
made Inroads on New Orleans, Hun
dreds of horses and scores of turfmen,
billed for the Crescent City a month
ago, are now heading toward the
Golden Gate.
"Ham” Hildreth and his big stable
have been lured away from the Louis
iana winter field to Han Francisco. It
took three weeks of talking In the pad
dock by day nnd about the lnqierial
hotel corridors at night on the part of
Hcanlan before "Sum" finally broke
away from the fair grounds, where he
has been racing nnd spending $50,000
each winter for eight straight years, to
the far West. Hildreth has already
shipped to Oakland .11 head with Guid
ing Htar, winner of the last Crescent
City derby; Security, Rapid Water and
old Van Ness, all New Orleans favor
ites, in the Hildreth special palace
horse cars. Jockey Knapp will ride for
idm.
As soon a* "Boots" Durnell’* rein
statement was announced Williams nnd
Hcanlan nailed him for Oakland, too.
It Is supposed Durnell has the tlnanclul
the owner-bookmaker having received
the "23" number from the City Park
people where ho raced last winter. Of
course Cook know* full well the peace
compact between the warring tracks
did not mean amnesty for him. The
fair grounds somehow hate Cook. Last
winter at City Park Cook and Ills
ugents controlled Jockey "Dave" Nlcol
and maintained a ntrong stable and
a "Big Store” booking enterprise.
One very Interesting thing Nathanson
Is communicating Just now Is che fact
that both City Park and the fair
grounds intend playing a fair,
square game. There will be no pre
judice on either side. When the field*
are crowded and horses have to be
thrown out I do not propose to say,
"Oh, well, you were with us In the re
cent fight, so your horse goes, nnd this
former City Park adherent’s horse must
be excluded."
"Every horseman will be treated on
exactly the same hast*. There will be
no favorites at the Fair Grounds.”
No Lid in Now Orleans.
Here Is another bit of good news for
the winter followers of tho bangtails.
New Orleans’ "lid" will be off for the
first time In many seasons. By Thanks
giving day night, bright lights and a
merry company will be seen within at
least four of the old-time clubs, all of
which means a bustling winter down In
Dixie Land.
As to the ollleial staffs at City Park
and the Fair Ground*, It is understood,
Francis Trevelyan will not be seen at
City Park, while Richard H. Burke, of
the Jockey Club, is to fill in important
post at the Fair Grounds. Frank J.
Bryan, the -well-known Judge, now of
ficiating at Baltimore, Md., will be at
the Fair Ground* a* usual. Late this
week Thomas H. O’Connor, racing edi
tor of The New York Globe, was ap
pointed assistant secretary to John Bo
den ut Ascot Park.
Probably the strongest stable racing
at either of the New Orleans tracks
will be that of "Mose” Goldblatt.
"Mose” came East a month ago backed
by the strongest sort of financial sup
port. He picked up the good filly Kll-
llecrankie and a string of useful and
high-class young horses for the winter
campaign, and as no borse-handler in
the country has "Mose" surpassed In
the matter of being able to point and
place race horses to advantage, the old
fox Is bound to cut the premier role in
the Fair Grounds doings the #,ext three
months. Belmere. tho winner of the
Brooklyn derby, will be about the best
class horse In the Houth this winter.
Fred Berlew will train the colt, and
will take along Jockey Lee Sewell In-
stead of "Frankie" O'Neil, as his stable
rider.
Probably 25,000 racegoers from all
parts of the country will winter down
at the Crescent City, attracted prima
rily through the racing.
