These men live in Portland and place their bets at various saloons ' and cigar stores, the proprietors of ' which telephone them out to Mllwaukle. These downtown places are nothing ,less than handbooks and the proprietors are liable to fines and imprisonment, the same as the pool sellers at SMlwaukle. The arrangements for pool selling at the Mllwaukle club are on a' par with any of the eastern clubs and accommo dations are provided for the ease and comfort of the bettors. Two windows ara maintained, for taking, bets, while another is employed Dy tne cashier to pay the winners. This last window was the one least used yesterday. , To the right of the poll-sellers, and raised upon an elevated platform, sat a .' telegraph operator, receiving reports of the races as xney were oemg run ore at Seattle and Butte.- As- the-horses lined up at the wire he announced In a sten- Siiy to IrON Homy, fVtV-.. with OVtA Vi nouncxl the three leading horses at the quarter mile post, at the, half, the ' three quarters, mo oireicn ana tnen the t'wlnner.

As the horse which had been picked to win by some devotee would be an nounced in the lead at one of the posts, a shout or exclamation would escape tne tensely drawn lips or the listener. while thase whose horses failed to re ceive a call sat eagerly awaiting some word from their "pony" as he was gamely struggling hundreds of miles away to win their money. They oould see the horses running and one man shouted: "See her come down that stretch! What did I tell you about that horse Sheen?" .toad Odds Wins. In the handicap raoe at Seattle, the premier eveni 01 me aay uie crowa plainly showed the excitement prevail ing. The betting was quite even, and as the man at the telegraph key announced some flash which changed the odds on a certain horse that was being heavily played at the track several would hasten lo the "bookies" to change their bets, hoping by the shifting process to hedge on their losses. The favorite was Fred Bent, and many dollars were placed in the hands of the deft coin handlers of the club upon hlra.
