Good as it is, however, wo are confident we will make it 'look sick' by comparison with the showing we are going to make at the meeting of 100 days whieii begins at New Orleans this month. We Pick the Winners. Tbe system we employ to locate winners is identical with that used by '-Pittsburg Phil,' John A. Drake, John Gates', W. Laugdon, Joe Yeager, and other famous plungers who win hundreds of thousands on the turf every year, and it proves just as successful. We gather our information of prospective winners through a force of expert horsemen who hold a watch on the horses in their early morning trials, aud in that way learn when they are ready to win. The money that is played into the game by persistent losers, such ss the mass of uninformed players are bound to be, goes into the pockets of the big operators, of which the Maxim A Gay Co , representing a large clientele, stands a* the head. The work of the Maxim & Gay Co. ia to place tbe general public upon a level with the'winning plungers, and our success in this accomplishment has made us fatuous ou two oomiueuts. We do business only on the great racetracks of the U. S. We cumber among cur clieuts some of the best known sportsmen, financiers «nd merchants in the country. Inve*tnrient on the turf fs now deemed ns legitimate as any other high-class form of speculation. The present high standard to which taeiLg has been brought, and tbe absolutely good faith in which turf affairs are conducted under tbe auspices of the Jockey Cictti in the East, and the Western Jockey Club in the West, has inspired millionaire capitalists and business men all over the country with as much confidence in racing as in the stock, grain and cotton markets, ami ti/.s is one reason why transactions In the betting rings now rival in magnitude those of the stock, cotton and grain exchanges. t SS ... Another reason for the rapid growth of turf speculation iu popular favor, is the rapidity with which all transactions aie wound up The speculator makes his investment at the racetrack in tho afternoon through us and receives a notification by mail, in a letter guaranteed to bear a p<>atmnk earlier than the race is run, ol iust what horses are to be backed for his account. By the next mail he is informed of the revolt of the day' operations, ami he learns quickly ju?t where he stands. At the end of . each week he receives a con ,plet< staten.ci t of bis account with a money order for his profits, less 25 per cent, which we deduct as p\ir fee. Th s "ives a wholesome tone to legitimate turf speculation which cannot be found in t',je more or involved transaction of the big excb ages, and this is why turfmen Jivo more comfortalk'.v and livs-'otiger than do men whose Involved transactions are on their minds, day and night, for weeks aim sometimes months at a stretch. i c" Our Clients Won a Million Dollars. , £ W pii known that clients have collectively won as ranch as a million dollar* at a single I . 1 „ ,♦ ia sometimes asked- "Why do not Maxim & Gsy eit down and back tbeir own selections instead considerable clerical force and spending large sums in advertising in newspapers throughout the country'?" l l o answer is simple enongh if one stops to consider the situation Maxim A Gay, by dint of ability, en nV^mraMon canital and advertising, bsve secured an enormoos^ clientele, which means the command of : -S> ■ organisati n, capr winners for this immense number of investor-, onr profits are larger than if we until- nse capital.
