Of course, the doings of the horses, the 'odd 8, snd tbe big winnings of some given plunger Will be. duly recorded from day to day.- But neither the Bulletin r.or any local people In Washlnaton will' record thelntervlews between government clerks on the one hand, landlords, butchers, bakers and grocers on the other.
