Keene was known as the nerviest of Wall street opera tors, he was anything but abetting than on the race tracks. He dearly loved to win valuable stakes, and he won nearly everything in this line ex cept the classic English Derby. His Jaorses rarely carried anything but an infinitesimal wager. Big wagers were few and far between with him. One day when his Ben Brush colt Besom was making his racing debut at Sheepshead Mr. Keene visited the paddock in company with his trainer, Jimmy Rowe, and inspected the colt minutely. Keene was very fond of Noonday, the colt's dam, and he talked proudly of his expectations of Besom. The colt had worked exceptionally fast, and the race looked as sure as sure things can be regarded on a race track. The result of the conference with Rowe was that Mr. Keene decided to make one of his rare large bets on Besom to win The news of the Keene wager created almost a sensation in the ring, and the price against the colt went tumbling The race was run, and Besom lost by an eyelash. He went out with Ber ry Maid, and the two raced stride for stride like a team. When it was Be som's turn to stride his nose showed in front, and when it was Berry Maid's turn she showed a scant advantage. So it was all the way, Mr. Keene watching the contest through his field glasses without a murmur. The crowd was on its toes. As they passed the judges it was Berry Maid's turn to stride. Then the apple of Mr. Keene's eye at the time lost the verdict and the vice chairman of the Jockey club lost one of his few wagers on the turf. New York World. The Amateur Farmer.
