Description

Excerpt from Five Thousand an Hour: How Johnny Gamble Won the Heiress
About the time the winner of the Baltimore Handicap flashed under the wire, Johnny Gamble started to tear up a bundle of nice pink tickets on Lady S. Just then Ashley Loring came by swiftly in the direction of the betting shed. Loring stopped and wheeled when he caught sight of him as did most men who knew him.
"Hello, Johnny! I didn't know you had run over. How are you picking them today?" he asked.
"With a dream book," answered Gamble, smiling; "but I ate lobster last night."
