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

tlwusbt they had a winner only to find
after the word was given that their
seieciiou was either shy of speed or

the flutter of the -bit ot rod hunting
rings down the curtain on what at one
time looked like an 0n10ytthle after.

Al itll lilhw dllte riice meetings, thc
flfliinian is a necessary evil. They
come in all kinds of attire from a dap-

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
