BELMONT PARK OFFICIAL SOUVENIR.

INTRODUCTORY.

It is no stretch of imagination to say that Behnont Park, the future "Home of the
Thoroughbred," for which The Westchester Racing Association stands sponsor, is the most
magnificent race-course in the world.

Nature, money and brains have been united into a combination which has given to the
American pubhc an ideal resort for the "Sport of Kings."'

The vastness of the grounds, on which are erected the necessary impressive buildings, can
be better appreciated when it is stated that it is a tract of land covering a space of over six
hundred acres. This in itself gives a faint idea of the immensity of the undertaking which
has transformed a vast area, studded with trees, &c., and of sandy loam, into a magnificent roomy
pleasure park, the like of which no other country can boast.

The entrance to the grounds proper is lined by numerous rhododendrons, and is thickly
studded, on each side, with rows of stately pine and chestnut trees, which, in a measure,
prepare the visitor for the grandeur of what is to come. The quaint old historic, castle-
looking mansion to the right of the entrance, nestling among the trees and shrubbery, is part
of the ancient Manice estate, once the property of millionaires of New York and Long Island.

This mansion, which will be the future home of the exclusive Turf and Field Club, and
which lies on the outskirts of a wood, is surrounded on three sides with elaborately laid-out
gardens and scores of hothouses containing numerous rare plants of great beauty.

All events at this race-course will be run the reverse way to that with which the public is
familiar, i. e.: all turns will be made to the right, in lieu of to the left. This wise move was
adopted so as to permit a more advantageous location of the various buildings, and also to fulfill
the recjuirements as to the direction of the sun's rays. West of the Grand Stand, and a few
feet beyond the finish, or judges' stand, is

Which occupies a ground area of 10,100 square feet, and is a three-story struc-
CLUB HOUSE ^"'"'^ °^ light-colored brick and Indiana freestone. Its frontage is 111 feet, with
a depth of 91 feet. Two wide piazzas or observation balconies afford a grand
view of all the tracks and grounds. It is most elaborate in its appointments and is, without doubt,
superior to any similar building extant. The first floor contains a kitchen, cafe and committee-
room ; the second floor, a ladies' dining-room, 75x36 feet, serving-parlor and retiring-rooms; and
the third floor a gentlemen's dining-room, dormitories, etc. A unique innovation consists of
two elevators, one for freight and the other for club members and their guests.

An interesting- historical feature to the private entrance, through which the Club House is
reached, are four obelisks or monoliths which, for about one hundred years, stood at the portals
of the Charleston (S. C.) Jockey Club grounds. These were presented to Mr. August Belmont.
Inscribed tablets have been placed in the panels of these columns.

Built of iron, steel, brick, stone and cement, has a comfortable seating capacity
CRAND STAND ^'^^ Over 11,000 persons, and is, of course, the largest building on the grounds.
It embodies original up-to-date ideas and designs which are foreign to all such
similar structures. In order that everyone should have an uninterrupted view, particularly of
the entire homestretch, it is not quite parallel to the track, but slopes slightly eastward. Ample
protection against inclement weather is provided by an extension of the roof 31 feet be3'ond the
front edge. On this roof are additional seating accommodations, from which a magnificent view
of the entire plant is obtained.

A novel feature is a mezzanine gallerj' running along the entire length of the center, on
which is a row of boxes with individual chairs for the use of the public ; these, in turn, open on to

a promenade ( from eight to ten feet wide) which runs the entire length of the stand. On this
promenade, but to the rear, are the kitchen, serving-rooms, dining-rooms, waiting-rooms, storage-
rooms, coat-rooms, ladies' parlors, ladies' ante-rooms, and an emergency-room. In connection
with the latter are first aid appliances and trained nurses.

There are also additional private boxes for the exclusive use of club members, which occupy
over 100 feet of that portion of this stand nearest to the Club House, the latter being connected
with it by a short span or bridge.

The ground floor is given over to lunch counters, bar, toilet retreats and police head-
quarters, etc.

In front of and at the easterly and westerly ends are depressions three feet deep by about
twenty feet wide, paved with concrete. This arrangement is to discourage crowds from stand-
ing directly in front of the stand, as these depressions form unsatisfactor}' points from which to
view the races. The concreted ground, however, in the center of the stand, slopes back gradually
to the Rotunda, to which it leads. The lawn in front of the stand has a sloping tendency to the
main track, varying in width from 100 to 150 feet.

The nile-green color with which this and the Field Stand are painted is particularly
effective and pleasing.

_ p PI n ^^^^ directly east of the Grand Stand, and is 250x95 feet. It is constructed of
STAND steel, brick and concrete, and will hold 4,000 persons. The accommodations are
somewhat similar to those on the ground floor of the Grand Stand.

AND JOCKEY BUILDING '^•''-''^ nouse. its interior is fitted up with special regard to the comfort

and requirements of the stewards, officials, horse-owners and jockeys.

The first floor contains the secretary's or clerk of the course's room, fitted up after the style
of a banking house; there are also jockeys' dressing-rooms, which contain 116 lockers, and
lavatories, bathrooms, etc., etc. The second floor is laid out for the exclusive use of the
handicapper. Jockey Club officials, with a very spacious Board room for the Stewards.

A broad balcony encircles this building, which commands a fine view of the grounds and
surrounding country.

THP <;Anni iNr ^^ constructed of yellow pine, topped by a slanting slate roof. Its dimensions are
PADDOCK 295x83 feet. It contains 36 stalls, 18 each on the easterly and westerly sides,
and is charmingly situated in the center of a number of massive trees, about a
couple of hundred feet immediately to the rear of and midway between the Club House and
Grand Stand. To and from the track the horses will traverse that portion of the grounds ,
which lies between the Club House and Administration Building.

Or public financial concourse, is a one-story structure, and is the first which
ROTUNDA greets one after entering the Park from the trains or highway. Its approach
from the main entrance gates is by a walk and roadway 650 feet long by 170 feet
wide, which includes two roadways, a covered way and a sidewalk on each side. The covered way
is a cemented walk 20 feet wide. Steps on either side of this building lead from the entrance
grounds to its roof, on which are two parallel walks which, in turn, lead directly to the Grand
Stand (the latter is also reached by either traversing or going around the Rotunda to the lawn
in front of the Grand Stand).

The Rotunda is built slightly under but otherwise clear of the Grand Stand. Its shape is
nearly circular, 2-49x307 feet. It affords superior roomy facilities for the purpose intended,
and is open on all sides. It has concrete flooring, and skylights to ensure ample light.

Of which at present there are 40, are situated at the eastern and northwestern
THE
STABLES ^""^^ °^ ^^^ grounds, and will house between 800 and 1,000 thoroughbreds. The

■roof of each extends 14 feet on all sides, so as to permit of horses exercising in

bad weather. Sleeping quarters for attendants and stable hands are built over the stalls. There

are public and private kitchens galore.

GENERAL CONTRACTORS FOR THE VARIOUS BUILDINGS AT BELMONT PARK.

BELMONT PARK OFFICIAL SOUVENIR.

Are laid out on this splendid property. The main one is II/2 miles in circumfer-

RACECOURSES^"''^' ^^^^'^ ^ P^''^^'"*''^' ^^''^^^^^ ''^^'•^ °^ seven furlongs at its southeasterly end.
The turf course, immediately within the first, is 1% miles around; the third, inside
the second, has a circuit of 1%^ miles, and is for steeplechase events, but which, in addition, is con-
nected with a couple of other courses which wind at random, as it were, over the other three,
making it possible to give jumping events of any distance. At present there are five hedges, two
"Liverpools," two "banks," and one water jump, the latter being immediately in front of the
Grand Stand. The finish in all cases will begin from the northeasterly end, then south, into
the 1% mile or turf track. Additional obstacles will be added in the near future.

The sixth course is of one mile, with two slight extensions, one at the northwest end and
the other at the southeast. It is attached and tangent to the main track.

It has been built for the novel and special use of a training ground, and also for the "trying-
out" of yearlings. Its southwesterly end connects with the main track at the latter's southeast-
erly point. Races for the Belmont Cup will start from the southeasterly extension up to the north
turn, down its western stretch, then on to the main track, into the homestretch to the finish, a
distance of 1% miles.

Experts agree that the original soil of this land, a sandy loam, which has been used in the
construction of the three courses on which flat races will be run, will result in ideal tracks. The
soil being very porous, it was not found necessary to lay under-drains, but "catch basins" at
frequent intervals along the inner rails are connected with the main drainage system.

Clever sprinkling devices have been constructed for watering, which do away with the
antiquated, familiar methods of horses and sprinkling carts.

These consist of three subterranean concreted passages, one of which leads visit-
NOVELTIES °'"^' ^^ ^ gradual upward slope, to the entrance of the grounds from the train
terminals; the second is for the use of the public to reach the infield, so as to
relieve any overcrowding of the Grand Stand and lawn, and the third subway, situated about
midway under the ys'^ile chute, is for the use of stable hands and tradesmen. By means of
the latter two, everyone, other than those whose duties necessitate their being there, will be
kept off the surface of the tracks.

Electrical wires have been installed throughout the property, so that the Stewards, in their
official capacity, and in the administration of their duties, will be able to communicate with every
portion of the Park. This applies also to the starting points, no matter from what portion of the
grounds the thoroughbreds "line up."

In the present case, comparisons not being odious, and official data having been obtained
by correspondence, the contrast between the Grand Stand at Belmont Park and similar
structures in other countries will prove of interest :

Set out to run a race — We really feared he'd win

We watched them closely all the while — ■ He ran so fast, and made a dart

Their course was Baby's face. Straight for her dimpled chin.

all of 1901 Mr. Henry M. Ziegler, proprietor of the Columbia Theatre,
nati, ran and won a race in that district, with a pretty shifty horse. In
attempt it was beaten in very easy fashion by Hermis. Both Mr. Ziegler

and his trainer, Charles Hughes, were so impressed
with Hermis's performance, and that there was a
grand future for him, that Mr. Hughes went im-
mediately to Lexington to see the then owner, Mr. H.
A. Engman, from whom he bought the animal for Mr.
Ziegler for $3,300. The horse was then retired for
the Winter. The splendid care which Mr. Hughes
gave him, Mr. Ziegler claims, was the means of
his proving such a great horse the following year.
He started in the American Derby at Chicago in
1902, but getting oflfvery badly was pulled up. Mr.
Ziegler claims he was the best horse in the race and
should have won. He was then sent to Brighton
Beach and Saratoga, winning every race in which
he started after the Derby (nine in all). After
his victory in the Travers Stakes, Mr. Ziegler
sold him to Mr. L. V. Bell for $15,000.

Mr. Ziegler has taken to the breeding of
his own racehorses and will add more mares to
those he has already purchased.

He has some particularly promising two-year-olds
at Sheepshead, with which he confidently expects to
win a goodly share of races on the Metropolitan tracks.

AUCTION POOLS.

Up to and including the year 1876, speculation was conducted •
altogether by the system of auction pools. Very few of the present gen-
eration being familiar with its modus operandi, the following may be
of interest:

In addition to the auctioneer, there were two assistants, one the
cashier, the other recording clerk.

The auctioneer invited bids for the privilege of naming and pur-
chasing "first choice." As an example, refer to the race run in 1870, and
for which event $400 was paid for Kingfisher (who was first choice, and,
therefore, the favorite, because no other horse sold for a higher figure).
This $400 was handed to the cashier by the person who bid that amount,
and who received, in return, a ticket bearing the horse's name and amount
he paid.

The auctioneer would then ask : "How much am I bid for second
choice?" Foster and Stamps were both second favorites, or choices,
because they sold for $200 each. The pool was now $800. The third
choice was Midday, which sold for $190 (pool $990). Of the remaining
three horses no one, evidently, thought any single one good enough to
be bid on, so Nellie James, Eldorado and the Canary Bird colt were sold
as one horse and known in turf parlance as "the field." This "field"
brought $195 (the person purchasing it had, of course, three chances of
winning). Total pool, $1185.

All horses being disposed of, that particular pool was closed and
the auctioneer began all over again.

From the grand total of each pool 2>% was deducted for expenses,
and the remainder went to the persons holding Kingfisher tickets in each
pool.

The above-described pool for the year 1870 shows the following
results :

Kingfisher sold for $ 400.00

Foster sold for 200.00

Stamps sold for 200.00

Midday sold for 190.00

The field (3 horses) sold for 195.00

$1185.00
Deduct 3% 35.55

$1149.45
Deduct cost of ticket 400.00

Net profit .$ 749.45

Or $759.45, against $400 (a little less than 2 to 1).

REWARE OF UNRELIABLE
^ BOOK-MAKERS.

In the whole world there are only a few bookmakers with reputations that are
valuable assets.

Germany has one or two; England as many more; America one.

These five are to bookmaking what Dunlap and Knox are to hats; what Worth and
Redfern are to gowns ; what Chickering and Steinway are to pianos. Their names have a
real value. They stand for best. They stand for perfect workmanship, highest quality,
durability, reliability. They stand for self-satisfaction, which has an unmeasurable but un-
mistakable value to the owner of a Knox, a Worth or a Chickering.

In the United States Tapley is the only bookmaker whose name conveys to the book-
lover a real, added value. This name has been so frequently used by publishers and agents
of The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia and Atlas, Jewish Encyclopedia, the Historians'
History of the World, Beacon Lights of History and other great works that it has come to
be a guarantee of the best in bookbinding. A booklover asserts that his choice volumes are
"Bound by Tapley" with the same satisfaction that the perfectly dressed gentleman displays
the label in his latest-block hat. He has the satisfaction not only of knowing that the
materials are of the highest quality and the workmanship above reproach, but also a justifi-
able pride in the realization that no one can possess a better bound book.

That these statements -are true you may easily demonstrate. At least one of the

sets of books above mentioned must be in your library. Take one of the volumes no

matter which, for all of Tapley's work is uniform— examine the materials used in the
outer coverings; note how flat and true the covers lie; observe the care with
which the corners are put on; the back rounded and embellished. Lift the covers
and see how firmly the leaves are fitted to the binding; with what skill the inner
covers are finished. Lastly, note the ease with which the book opens to any of the
pages — not with that crackling which frightens you into thinking the whole book is coming
to pieces, but — easily, quietly, smoothly.

Then glance along your library shelves at many of }-our

OLD FRIENDS THAT NEED NEW DRESS
and for whom — for old friendship's sake — you would never think of furnishing anything
but the best. Send them to us ; tell us how you wish them dressed ; what materials shall be
used; what ornamentation (your monogram, coat-of-arms, crest, initials, name) we shall
use, and, in a reasonable time you, too, will find pleasure in the assertion "Bound by Tapley."

Perhaps 3'ou have a manuscript you want printed, or a booklet you want prepared and published.
We are equipped to make books from the very beginning with the same care and skill that we bind them.

THE BIGGEST WIN OF MY LIFE;

OR,
HOW I BEAT THE " BOOKIES."

The barrier went np and oiif they started.

From the rest of the field a "dark horse" parted.

At every stride he went further away

From the favorite. His backers, all in dismay,

Saw him trailing behind in the beaten bunch,

His "jock" whipping-, spurring, his back all a "hunch" ;

As for me — I screamed, shouted and yelled

Like a crazy man, or as one impelled.

I had 2,000 to 10 on the one in the lead.

(More money than I thought I ever would need.)

"Come on ! Come on ! you son-of-a-gun !"

I kept shouting until the darned thing won.

With eyes all ablaze and crushed card in hand

I rushed to the ring, to the bookmakers' stand.

I stood in line, awaiting my turn ; when

I reached the cashier I said, "2,000 and 10."

He ciuickly counted the yellow-backed "dough,"

Which he handed me carelessly, dontcherknow.

Wondering what I would do with the heap —

I suddenly woke up from a Welsh-rarebit sleep.

— John Goodwin.

HOW TO LOSE MONEY AT THE RACES.

ALWAYS give more than 2 to win 1 on a horse, particularly if it is very sure

to win.
ALWAYS play two horses, straight and place each.
ALWAYS play one horse straight and another for a place.
ALWAYS plunge on good things (cinches).

ALWAYS place very little money on a horse whose price is anywhere from
10 to 100 to 1.

DO NOT limit yourself to an equal amount on each horse, i. e., should you
win $100 or $200 for a $10 bill, be sure that you invest all your
winnings on the next race.

an extended visit. For such people The Belleclaire furnishes suites of one, two or three rooms and bath,
which may be occupied at reasonable rates for shorter or longer periods. It is an apartment house with the best
features of a hotel. It is a hotel with the best features of an apartment house, and it is absolutely fireproof.

Valuable Recipes for Use in Racing Stables.

Clear Soup. — To two quarts of boiling water add a pint of cold water. Let
simmer for at least four hours, stirring briskly all the time. Add pepper and salt
to taste. Care should be taken that it does not burn.

Plum Pie. — Get some dough, hammer out a front and back breadth. Line a
dish with silesia, put in a veneering of dough, fill the dish with cough drops, put
on the top crust, featherstitch around the edges and bake in a plumber's furnace.

Pound Cake. — Mix up some flour and things, put them into a dish, bake for
a while, then screw in the handle, commence to pound and serve before eating.

Stomach Cake. — Line a stable boy with green apples and cucumbers.

Calf's Foot Jelly. — Get a Chicago calf — they have the largest feet — cut
ofif the calf, which can be used for making hash or chicken salad; cut the nails,
wash the feet, thicken with glue, add a few molasses; strain through a cane-seated
chair, pour into a blue bowl with red pictures on it; set it in the shade to get
tough. Then send it to your mother-in-law.

Ice Cream. — Dry a piece of ice in the sun, stir in some cold cream or vaseline,
fan it until it freezes, garnish with Christmas greens.

Hash. — Chop up everything, add some ready-mixed paint, and fry in a wash-
boiler until the potatoes become a golden brown.

An Inexpensive Dish. — A five-cent plate.

To Make Ice. — Procure a piece of ice, put it in the oven and reduce it to
water; put the water in a pail and swing the pail around rapidly until the water
freezes.

Coffee Jelly. — Buy a pound of coffee; grind to a fine powder. Wash a
soiled tablecloth or piece of unbleached muslin until it is thoroughly clean. Buy
another half pound of coffee and blend with the first pound. Pour into individual
coffee cups and set on ice. Serve when it becomes hard. (For sick people this is
an excellent substitute for calf's-foot jelly.) Some people add coffee to this, but
that is a matter of taste.

Horseshoe Fritters. — After making a dough, as explained on page 136, roll
out and place on a clean floor. Secure a gentle thoroughbre(a)d, lead it into the
kitchen and let it walk over the dough, so that it may cut out pieces the shape of its
shoe. Add grated horse chestnuts and bake in a fast oven (i : 38 3-5 to a mile).

To Remove Stains. — To remove fruit stains from a tablecloth, saturate the
cloth in benzine, kerosene or coal oil, sprinkle with gunpowder; apply a lighted
match.
