9 THE BLUEGRASS RACES. iiHOW THEY APPEAR TO A SLUE- mm GRASS GIRL. Bin True Btoecrass People Knjoy Con Jtttj tests Between Blooded Horses—Scenet I the Track, on the Stands and with |XL the "Bookies." 3n [Special Correspondence.] I Lexington, Ky., May 13.—"Back your ■ Judgment, gentlemen! Back your judg- I mentl" 111 | "I bet yon Rlley'll come in second. I bet I yon Bermuda won't show up. I bet you I;'Protection'll come in third. Come up, I gentlemen, come and back 'em I Back I your choice every timer r nnj HOUSE, KBNTUCJiI KACDi UUUIBB. There is a din and a hubbub and a con fusion of tongues. Men stand in excited groups about the pool room. They scud here and there with unfixed purpose, or with every nerve alert concentrate their minds upon the odds the "bookies" are registering and proclaiming upon the vari ous animala entered, i A sten tor voice, perhaps, from one side of the room, whose rubicund owner, chalk ln hand, is systematically employed in a rapid series of writing and erasing figures from the blackboard before him, sounds the fluctuating keynote of popular favor by a running fire of numerical jargou: "Heiter I Skelter, 6 to 4—6 to 4; Heiter Skelter, 7 ' to 4—lo to 4," and so on, while probably ' odds altogether at variance with these are running up on the same horse in a different part of the room. Other turf potentates, t just as generous of person and lusty of [ long, are doing just as enterprising a busi- I ness at their own respective stands upon every horse entered for the forthcoming race, and the chaos of sound and of scene beneath the grand stand at tho Kentucky association racecourse at its spring meet- F Ing approaches the sublime. Everybody is buying pool tickets—that Is, everybody imbued with the true spirit of the occasion. Before the winning and the losing has ;. began to sour men's souls, and the first bugle call to the post is yet unsounded, , • ggfiWwart Bluegrass sons, with the well fed, rell groomed look of their kind, gravitate i _«gether in amicable groups, exchange slsm on the shoulder, interchange "straight tun" with shrewd winks and [ nods, air an anecdote or so, and every now | and then shiver the welkin with a loud Bp guffaw. 1 The impecunious, man with a taste for the pool room, winds in and out among his ac quaintances on the grounds in wistful en deavor to effect a loan upon the assured collateral that will accrue from the tip that he boasts. Small boys with the inevitableness of the breed and a stern disregard of convention alities, either in apparel or manners, effect an entrance boldly by means of a "fence ticket" into the Mecca of their desires, and listen open mouthed to the betting, or hover entranced about the jockeys, who have attained, in their eyes, to the very pinnacle of mundane bliss. Others less doughty of heart are content to enjoy the glories within in slim sections afforded the view by the cracks in the high board fence inclosing the magic inclosure. Others, Zaccheus-like, are mounted in trees, and reap their reward at the expense of much bodily contortion. Bat the scene at the race course of the Kentucky asso ciation at Lexington is well worth such effort, . There is the glamour and the poetry of . . all typical and time honored institutions ln the Kentucky association meetings, hardly less inspiring than the charm of the physical surroundings. Prom every point of view a far reaching stretch of gracious bluegrass lands melt Into a horizon of hazy foliage that the spring has called upon the forest trees. White stables, the lodgings of the equine aristocracy that the races have assembled from far and near, are dotted about the immediate distance. The magnificent track describes a circu lar mile about the expansive bluegrass disk, whose cool turf, shaded by beeches, is a refreshment to the heated feet of the horses when tbe race is done. Here, amid "green pastures," the excited »"'""'■ are led after the finish of each race, and rubbed and smoothed and tended with the solicitude that royalty itself would scarce evoke. The "grand stand," timers' and judges' stand, the betting sheds, club house, lawn and field are aglow and as warm, and instinct with the prevailing sense of anticipation and exhilaration. WELL AWAY. Jockeys, arrayed in hues of barbaria splendor, form shifting, fragmentary rain bows as they keep in motion on their mounts, restlessly awaiting the bugle call to the post. All sorts and conditions of men —distinc- tions of rank leveled by a common enthu siasm—convert the grand stand into a truly "Beething, ebullient mass of humanity." Cheers go up from readythroats, and hats, handkerchiefs, programmes, umbrellas wave vigorously when an animal that chances to be a favorite appears in the arena. There is tho babel of voices and the bray of the band—the sound of the men with "Jack's tips" for sale, and the intermittent clang of the bell. The old woman who never misses a race, always plays heavily, and who sets the pace for the betting to a large contingent of people around her, who have a super stitious faith in her lnck, is there with her funny gray curia and her malaproprian vernacular. When she put her money on Carlsbad once and dozens followed her lead she observed with contempt, '"Twas a pity, though, folks couldn't find no better name for a good horse than 'Cow's Bag.' " The man unversed in turf lore, from n distance, perhaps—there is no man un- Tersed in horse lore in the Bluegrass—is there in a pathetic attitude of apology for hia ignorance, toward the horsey and supe rior acquaintance beside him, whose every sentence smacks of the turf. Here, too, is the young mother, to the disgust of her neighbors, who couldn't miss the races, yet bad nobody at home to whom to intrust a colicky baby. Here is the tyro in the guilty poaeessiou of bis first pool ticket, and the girl who would bet if she dared, and the little lost boy. Tbe "club house" of tbe Kentucky associa tion —the exquisitely fitted up buiidiug ad joining the more democratic grand stand— is the coign of vantage where the flower of typical Bluegrass society may be viewed in a nutshell upon a typical Bluegrass occa sion. Here men eligible to the privileges of the clnb house disencumber themselves of beautiful women in gala attire upon the wide piazza that overlooks the race track, they themselves preferring more intimate relations with the sport. They drift back occasionally to show a proprietary interest and to report proceedings in the thick of the fray, and other men flock and pleasant little coteries are formed, and the occasion has all the charm of an afternoon recep tion with the conventionality left out and a zest and a fillip imparted. Now and then a spruce waiter with tray and tinkling glasses misty with crushed ice and a bottle of champagne appears be fore a group, and there is gay quaffing and laughter and toasts to the winner and to those yet to win. Nor do these dames of high degree deny themselves altogether the cream of the sport. Masculine friends are dispatched unceremoniously by these gentle "plung ers" to back the capricious choice of my lady, and soft voices made only for vocal caresses may be heard keyed to the highest excitement in such expressions as, "I played So-and-so for the winner and a cer tain one for the place." "I'm going to hedge on this race," etc Sporting lingo being as familiar to the fair tongues as gracious social phrases. Verily the Bluegrass is of the turf turfy. The rich purses that are swung so entic ingly from the middle of the wire before the start of every race, and that prove to be the outward tokens of the winners' suc cess, were fashioned —the whole sixty—by the deft fingers of the beautiful daughter of the president of the association. Thus a pretty sentiment and association makes them yet more worthy of the winning. The Kentucky Race association, organized in 1826, and the oldest and perhaps the most illustrious institution of the kind in the United States, never throughout its long years of glory and prestige enjoyed at any of its annual spring meetings the suc cess that crowned the meetings of 189 L r> -|ss» AT THE FINISH. Fully 500 notable horses, some with a brilliant record made, and others with their future to make or mar by the result of the next twelve days' events, were en tered for the sixty races—five being run each day. Let me describe a typical race. When the starter's red flag fell and the shout went up, "They're off!" the very atmos phere seemed charged with strained atten tion painful in its intensity, so highly on the alert were the nerves of hundreds of eager spectators. Not an eyeball shifted save with the speeding of the flashing flecks of color, now near, now far, now nearing again, that meant the identity of the various mounts. Dust rose before them as a pillar of cloud as they pressed to the post. Women flushed and paled and bit their lips and threatened hysterics as the chances wavered. Men held a mighty stillness, keeping themselves in band with an effort, every faculty concentrated upon the mo mentous work. "Riley's not in it!" '"Longshore has the lead!" "Where's Pro tection?" Hopes fluttered and languished and took heart again. Suddenly there was a cry, "Hurrah for Bermudal" as the l«autiful bay colt en tered the stretch the leader by a length. An instant more of wildest excitement and bonny Bermuda has passed triumph antly under the wire—the winner of the rich Distillers' stake by a length and a half. There are yells of delight, there is gnash ing of teeth, there are congratulations and hand shaking, there are inward anathemas and outward cursing of luck. Women laugh in exuberant transport, or tearfully bewail to their husbands who have backed the wrong horse, "I told you bo, Jack; maybe you'll heed what I say the next time—you—you ho—or —rid old thing!" And so the tale was told—the horse tale —never long enough to mention in a racer— over in a flash, the twinkling of an eye, the lash of a whip; the event so long an ticipated gone in the telling; truly a com mentary on the evanescence of mundane transactions. Perhaps, after all, the best "tip" is, "Hold fast to your money!" and the most sensible advice to the young man who fain would affect the races is, "Don'tl" "There's ups an' there's downs, the Lord knows, in everything," exclaimed an old man at the track, as he pocketed his losses, "but it appears to me in this here horse racin' business it's mostly downs—least ways with me!" DAlsr FITZHUGH. This Is tho First Bow with Italy. It is a fact worth noting jusC now that • Italy is the one great power in the Old World with which the United States has never before had any complications, friend ly or otherwise. This is largely because as a great power Italy is very young, and also hecause there is no part of the world where the territories of the two nations are adja cent or where theiv citizens are rivals in any kind of business. Russia is onr long time friend, but Russian interests have once or twice clashed with ours. We once had a real naval war with France, though there was no formal declaration; we have hut lately had a little quarrel with Ger many, and Kogland we have always with us. But as to Italy—well, the orbits of the two nations have never before intersected. An Object Lesson. Inkers—l see you took in Niagara Falls on your wedding tour.
