THE FLAGMAN

' BY W. H. Gochor.

Nobody loves the tlagman. He is the

trade mari! oi' defeat. The swish of

_ms muemed "ag has _blamed mmv~ ree favorites. Kenilworth was the

fl- 110170 llld 'Dat a ‘big black spot on the career ot what looked like' is good -horse until he made it mistake or get the worst of a hub rubbing at- filr- il!-0. PGM WIIUPS the judges could not-see who was to blame.

Every afternoon during a race meet. _

iiii the Hitman stands at his dusty station oil the stretch ready to put it 01111111 in the Joy of a few who! tlwusbt they had a winner only to find after the word was given that their seieciiou was either shy of speed or ra-Cin: manners, both or which are hi- vvnys iatsl on a race track. To them the flutter of the -bit ot rod hunting rings down the curtain on what at one time looked like an 0n10ytthle after. noon.

Al itll lilhw dllte riice meetings, thc

flfliinian is a necessary evil. They come in all kinds of attire from a dap- pei' old gentleman in it red vest and greased paiitaloons, who apologizes ivlienever he is compelled to send a ` horse to thc barn, to an ex~grooin with ii brand of.convers-ation that is s cross 'between a few pages from the Year Book and a handful of tales from

tire Arabian nights.

The flagman‘s position is not a very

interesting one, still there are a few peoliie who make a hid lor it. To them the manoeuvering of the drivers and horses when scoring has a fascinat ion, while they never forget the crisp ' ronversation that is used when a di-iv cr finds that an outsider has slipped into his position, or when the 'horses in the iront tier rush ot! before the
