London.-A bookmaker confirmed
the report that he had paid a society
woman $30,000 on a bet on the City
Suburban. This led to an inquiry
among bookmakers and at Tatter
sall's in regard to women betting. All
have the same story to tell.
All agree that with a few exceptions
the women bet a small amount and go
for a long shot. They seem to get
the first wind of a good thing when
there is one going, and they are bad
payers.
Some of the bookmakers will not ac
2ept their accounts unless they are
guaranteed by their husbands or other
eferences.
One big bookmaker said that many
women were clever and get excellent
:ips, so that he is chary of commit
ing himself deeply about even the
*ankest Outsider when any one of a
;core or more women he knows takes
e fancy to back it. -
