"The bettor of whom the pool-room bookmaker stands in dread" this flower of speech is culled from the 'New York World' "is the race-horse owner, who has a cinch bottled up for a particular race, and drops into the room an hour or two before the race begins."
Some explanation is necessary for the clear understanding of what follows. In the lower stage-box, to the left of the audience, were several persons, who had been referred to by the young men in the stalls. The omnibus-box was occupied by the Englishman, the eccentric and portentous bettor, whose presence inspired Morok with so much dread.
"And, oh, what'll be done to you'll be a plenty," said a bettor, with anticipatory glee. "That's my lookout," said the "Kid," sternly. "Fill 'em up all around, Mike."
