No modern institution famishes snch an array of interesting and peculiar characters as the American race course, says a writer in the New York World. It is a little world within itself, Governed with a rod of iron, to which owners, trainers and jockeys bow with a greater submission then they would to the highest judicial power in the land. The track is also a rendezvous for some of the most unprincipled scoundrels in the world,who are a conetaut menace to the fair racing, and a scource of terror to honest horse owners. These men are known as the parasites of the turf. There is another targe class that seem to be a necessary adjunct to the racing of to-day. There are the tipsters, tonls and borse- watcherj. Although the mission in life of both the tipster and the tout is to advh-e race-goers as to the best horse to back in a race, the manner of procedure of the two men is vastly different. The tipster conscientiously tells his customers what horses are best to back and does his business openly and above board, while the ways of the tout are rather shady to say the least, and a number of them are downright swindlrs.
