TIE MEETING AT CLEVELAND
which closed last Friday was without doubt the
most Interesting and extraordinary cue eve,
! held in this country, and, strange IS it ma,
seem, this fact can be attributed only to tht
passage Of the bill prohibiting pool-sclling b}
the last New York Legislature, TIE TRIBUNE
never has, and pever will, advocate pool-selling g
or any other form Of gambling, but it is useless
to deny that the pool-box is necessary evil, il
indeed any evil can be said to be necessary Ex-
pcsicnce Of the most costly character has dem.
onstrated to track managers In all parts Of the
country that men vino enter horses in races and
the majority OF those who attend the meetings,
desire to wager 4 greater or less amount on tho
success OF their fayorite, and that the receipts
Of the tracks from this source aid very matcri-
ally III making the cash account balance on the
right side. The opponents OF pool
selling nave strong arguments in their
favor, and on general principles are
correct in their views but their talk about the
absence Of the pool-boy causing more money to
he received at the gate than would hare been
received as commission on the money wagered
is sheer uonscnse. The absence Of the pool-box
from Dexter Park would not attract 100 people
who would otherwise have stayed away, and the
same rule will doubtless hold good In other
large cities. And while on this subject The
TRIBUNE would cali attention to the fact that
the National Association OF Trotting- Horse
breeders, the members Of which were among
the most earnest advocates Of the New York
Pool-bill have chosen Hartford. Conn, Us the
place Of its Inaugural meeting, and it is broad
ly hinted that this action was taken because the
o1icers Of the Association knew that to hold
meeting in New York, where pool-scllins was
prohibited, would insure the s1immest kind Of
an attendance.
But to return to the statement that the ex-
traordinarY success OF the Cleveland meeting
was due to the prohibition OF pool-sclline iu
New York State. It may seem strange
to some that this statement is made,
but it eau easily be sunstantiatca.
The only meetings in the Grand Central
Circuit where pool-scliIns will be allowed are
those at Cleveland, Hartford, aud Springfield.
The latter was held two weeks ago, but WAS .
