Mr. Smith, who was a steward at Hialeah Park, Miami, and had served in various official capacities at New York tracks since 1913, was 71 years old and had officiated as a placing judge at Belmont Park last Saturday.

Although born in Kentucky, his long career as a racing enthusiast did not include a trip to Churchill Downs to see a Kentucky Derby. He had seen most of the famous horses of the last 40 years, but never listed his three favorite mounts in preferential order, merely saying: "Man o' War was a great horse, Equipoise was mighty good and Sysonby was a horse I liked." Mr. Smith entered the racing field during the panic of 1893, after working at the Chicago World's Fair. While in the lobby of the Palmer House, in mid-Western metropolis, he overheard W. W.

Lyles, who prepared charts and sold them to bookmakers for $5 each, remark that he needed a young man to do clerical work. Mr. Smith's quick rejoinder, "Here he is," won him a position indexing charts at the Washington Park meeting. He dispatched his duties so well that he soon was made assistant chart caller, resigning in 1894 to join Frank Brunnel on the Racing He remained in that association for about ten years and then came to New York to work for the Daily Mercury, a theatrical and sports newspaper which later was merged with the Morning Telegraph. On leaving the newspaper bustness in 1907, Mr.

Smith launched his career as a racing official at the original Santa Anita track in California, later becoming racing secretary on the Pacific Coast for two years. With the resumption of racing in New York in 1913 he returned here and subsequently filled every official capacity but that of starter at the four major New York tracks. His only child died in boyhood, and he is survived by his white, Mrs. Lillian B. Smith.
