TRENTON. Feb. 15.-Fnlly 1000 spectators
were at the State House TO- night at the OPEN
ing OF the sixth week OF the Legislative SEES
sion. In the throng were many interested in
tho fate OF the race track bills. The
great majority were undoubtedly oppo-
nents Of the measure. Tomorrow 1t
is expected that whole train loads OF peo-
pie will come to Trenton from every part
OF the State to make demonstration against
the bills. It is now believed that the Commit
tee on Revision Of Laws. which Is In charge OF
the bills. will report adversely. and that the
House will sustain the report.
A representative Of the Board Of Control said
tonight that the interests OF Gutenberg and
Gloucester prevailed In the drawing OF the
bills. and the provision that racing should be
allowed on unlicensed tracks as long as they
pay $500 per day for the privilege was die
tated by them. He said that clause alone
would kill the bills. So far as Monmouth was
concerned 1t did not share in the desire for the
extraordinary privilege OF breaking the law
for O small fee.
President Patton Of Princeton University.
Samuel H. Gray OF Camden. and Thomas +.
McCarter OF Newark are to be among the
speakers against the bills. The hotels are
crowded with anti-race track people.
