A REMAKABLE PETITION.

state Against the Pool Rooms.
Tho following petition is one of the moet
and important features of the
fight against the pool rooms:
STATE OF CONNECTICUT, March 81, 1898.
To the members of the General Assembly
of the State of Connecticut:
We believe that the interests of morality
and the good name of the state require that
some efficient law should be enacted by this
present legislature to close the pool rooms
where gambling on horse races Is carried
on.
Public sentiment is demanding the pass
age of such an act and we urge you to give
it due consideration and hearty support.
Respectfully yours,
