THE ooI-SELLING.-R. H. Newton, who
is a member of the State Board of Agri-
culture, makes the following statement rela-
tive TO the recent letting of the pool-selling
privilege by that Board, in regard to which
Henry Schwartz published card: :" Mr.
Schwartz made his bid for the privilege of
selling pools with a declared purpose OF
taking it away from killip& Co. regardless
to cost to himself. That privilege has been
sold 10 hillip IL Co. for many successive
years, and under those privileges that firm
has reduced the system TO one of the most
perfect known anywhere III the United
States or in the world Always in the set
Element with the Agricultural Society this
firm has paid more than their contract
called for. Their bid has always been
made with an expected profit in view
That profit has actually exceeded what was
calculated upon. Invariably Kilhp d, Co.
have paid over to the society the same per
Centage on the excess of profits above what
was looked for in their calculations BY
their perfect system all pools were paid i'm
mediately after the official announcement
was made of the result OF race. With all
these facts in view the Board rightfuily
thought that the privilege should not pass
into new ,,ang nntried hands. and it was COR
sequently again sold to Killip & Co.. at the
price above noted
