We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
FRED ALLEN
Allen. — Fancy.
Min. — Somebody yelled, “They’re at the post,” 20 dames run out lookin’ for Emily. Ahh ! Them dowgers make me laugh.
Allen. — How do you mean ?
Min. — I hoid one old dame braggin’ about her mink coat. She set it down.
Allen. — Yes.
Min. — When the guy blew the bugle, the mink coat went to the post with six other horses.
Allen. — Tell me, Beau Belle, did you select the best dressed woman at Jamaica the opening day?
Min. — Yeah. I give her four fetlocks in my column Tuesday.
Allen. — Four fetlocks. Who was the best dressed woman ?
Min. — Mrs. Divine Ledbetter of Tuxedo Junction. She was the best dressed woman cornin’ and goin’.
Allen. — Mrs. Ledbetter wore two different creations, did she?
Min. — Yeah. She arrived at the track wearin’ a gown by Schia¬ parelli, hat by Lucille, shoes by Janet, and furs by I. J. Fox.
Allen. — What did Mrs. Ledbetter wear leaving the track ?
Min. — A barrel by Ruppert.
Allen. — Thank you, Miss Mavis Mildew, alias “Beau Belle,” alias “Feedbag Fanny,” Minnehaha. A small horse player who feels quite strongly about the pari-mutuels is Tyler Vanz. What is your opinion of this new system of betting, Mr. Vanz ?
Chas. — The coise of the pari-mutuels is there’s too many touts.
Allen. — By touts, you mean too many people giving a horse player unwanted advice ?
Chas. — Yeah. In the good old days every other guy at the track was a bookmaker.
Allen. — I see.
Chas. — When you got a yen to play a horse, you could turn to the guy standin’ next to you and make a bet.
