lnsf and won on n~rza race JUDGE BnW-
din, of the Supstior Coilrt, decided that a
horse race is not game in the sense of the
statute against gaming, saying: 'It is be-
lieved that the common use Of the word
game in Kentucky, if not in most Of the
States, is not generic to designate all such
means OF sport, but has separated into spe-
cifc meanings, and that if one should speak
Of game Of horse racing he would be re-

Ark, and investigate the affairs Of the res

some interesting Information regarding the
qualities of the waters, the diseases most
benefire 9 bT their use, and hotel and other
accommodations for visitors. He thinks
that, under the fostering care Of the United
States, the place should become the great
national sanitarium Of the continent, its
alth-giying waters attracting invalids
from all parts OF the world. and its natural
scenery, beautiied by art, inviting thou
sands to it as a resort where health and
pleasure may be found in pure atmosphere
and agreeable climate. "Since the queting
of the titles, Hot Springs has advanced in
material prosperity. The improvement Of
the creek running through the valley, by
properly wafiing and covering it, recently
determined upon by the department, will
still further advance its interest. Fine
houses are being erected, property is more
than trebled in value, better society is found
in the town, outside capital is being attract
ed. and on every hand there is evidence OF
a healthy growth and permanent improve
ment. The reservation west and north Of
the mountains, securing from spoliation the
fine timber which covers them, was pub
lie blessing, and will add materially TO the
future beauty and comfort of the place"
