When the discussion closed, it was evident
that the Debt Bill men had won the fight
It was no Waterloo, however. no disastrous
defeat, but the backbone of Mozartism in

of his native county would follow Paul to
any extreme, melted away. A bold agrees

large majority of the men OF the county are
beginning to weigh the consequences OF their

New-York tribune., 1879-09-02

The State of Illinois has had, for third of
q century. a law declaring that any promissory
note given for money staked or won upon any
game shall be void. Nearly all the States
have similar laws, varying somewhat In Ian
guage, but identical in purpose ard principle.
OF course, the question has long ago arisen
whether hOrse-race is a game, within
such law, so that note given for money
bet upon race is TO be considered invalid.
Upon this question courts have differed; but
the majority of judges have said that al
though race may not be gamen in some
popular uses OF the word, yet it ought to be
considered as condemned by the law in ques-
tion.
Taking it for granted that this would be
held law i'll Illinois, Mr.. COnin refused
to pay note given by him for a
trotting park premium. The facts were,
that gentlemen in Ii Sale County, in
terested in improving the breed of horses,
formed the Earlville Park Association. to
maintain trotting course. The Association
offered purse of 5000, divided into four
parts, one for each of the first four of the
horses which sho nd run. A rule of the
Association required that every person enter
10 per cent. Conlin entered horse, and
was allowed to give note for the
$50. His horse did not even come out fourth
and he then refused TO pay the note, upon
the high moral ground that the whole arrange
ment was substantially betting upon a horse
race. The Supreme Court has now, however,
decided that the offering of premium for
the swittest horse. of a reward for the
finest animal, of a prize for the handsomest
baby or best story which shall be
brought forward by various competitors,
is not betting. The Associations which make
these offers do not do so for the purpose of
winning if the competitors lose, but TO en-
courage improvement. In any event of the
race the Association pays tho premium; and it
is paid as a reward for high speed. Nor is il
betting for the Association to take an entrances
fee. This is not staked upon the result of the
trot it is paid absolutely at the outset, and
whether the horse loses or wins makes no diff
ference. In other words. the competitors pay
the entrance fees for the privilege of COM
peting; tho Association pays reward for run
ming; the two transactions are wholly Jude
pendent. Conlin was, therefore, sentenced to
pay his note and costs.
A good law question generally has its
diverse and reverse sides. The reverse side
of this question was presented in Indiana. In
this instance the Trotting Park Association
failed to pay the premium to the owner of the
winning horse, according to promise. Prob
ably the real reason was want of funds
but when the winner sued for the
premium the lawyers objected that the
club could not be made to pay, for
1t was money bet upon race. But
tie court decided against them. The same
