An American Invention Thu-t Became
3 Popular System with
Bettors.
"‘1 suppose many people do not know-
the origin of auction pool selling,” said
Frank L. Herdic, the famous pool seller
from Williamsport, Pa., toan interested
group at the Hotel Rivers during his
last visit to New York. “It’s of Amer-
ican invention, and before it was stant-
ed betting on races was, perforce, be-
tween individuals, on honor between ac-
quaintances, and by depositing the
stakes with a third person, known the
each, among strangers.
“In the winter of 1869 there was a race
meeting at New Orleans, and one day
several men around the gambling house
kept by the late Price McGrath wanted
to bet on a certain race, :but they all
fancied the same horse, which, by the
'way, was ‘Lucky’ Baldvvinis old stal-
lion Rutherford.
“McGrath suggested that as this
horse was such a great favorite he
should be sold at auction, aurd the other
horses as well, the aggregate sum to be
put. in a pool for the winner’s backers.
“This was the first auction pool, but
shortly afterward this method was
adopted on all the race tracks in Amer-

“It was very popular, and many of the
‘old-timers’ regard its passing into dis-
use asI’a bad thing. It’s a good thing as
far as fairness is concerned, but there
were many scandals when it, was in gen-
eral use, as those who ran the pool boxes
were knowu at times, after the betting
was over, to have turned on the crank
—that is, marked up the number of tick-
ets sold on the winning horse, so that
the winners would get but a small por-
tion of what rightly belonged to them.
“But to see the crowds anxious to
buy pools at the grand circuit races, it
looks as though auction pool selling
is still a popular method with the bet-
ting public.” ‘ —

An English Criticism of on Amer]-
canism Which Is Justly
Deserved.
A curious American c'olloquism, of
which I certainly cannot see the ad-
vantage, is the substitution of “yep,”
or “yup,” for “yes,” and of “nope” for
“no,” says a writer in Pall Mall Ga-
zette. No doubt we have in England the
coster’s “yuss;” but one hears even ed-
ucated Americans now and then us—
‘ing “yep,” or some other corruption of
“yes,” scarcely to be indicated by the
ordinary "alphabetical symbols. It
seems to me a pity. Educated Amer-
icans, too, will often say “somewheres,”
and “a long ways.” I have little doubt
that this “s” has a grammatical his-
tory of its” own. Probably it is an old
case-ending; just as “he goes out
nights,” on which Andrew Lang is so
severe, is a survival of the “o’nighfts,”
which Shakespeare puts in the mouth
of Julius Caesar. (“Sleek-headed men,
and such as sleep o’nights.”) At the
same time, as “somewheres” has be-
come irremediably a vulgarism in Eng-
land, it would, I think, be a graceful
concession on the part of educated
Americans to drop the “s.” After all,
“somewhere” does not jar in Amer-
ica, and “som-ewheres” very distinctly
jars in England.

The prevalence of yellows among
peaches makes their propagation by
budding a danger in spreading the dis-
ease. It is in the sap,and if any tree
,vvhich the knife cuts into to make a.
place for the bud is affected with yel-
lows, the taint will be retained by the
knife and spread the yellows to all the
trees inoculated. It is quite easy to be
sure that a. rich, luscious peach is not
affected with yellows, especially if
gathered from the tree. The pit from
such a peach ought to produce a valua-
ble seedling and free from disease. The
low repute of seedling peaches dates
from the time when the natural fruit
was about the only kind grown. But
even then some valuable seedlings were
found in every seedling prod need.—
