Mention was made in this column yes
terdny of the fact that there was a very
slim chance of racing at Ivy City track

10y despatch from Washington, which
contains the news that the District
Commissioners had unanimously refused
a license to the Ivy City management.
Major Moore Chief of Police of Wash
ington, Is the writer of letter which
will probably be preserved as curio.
1t is a scathng arraignment of race
tracks and racegoers. He says hat
many suspicious characters have already
been draw to Washington by the races
at Bennhgs. and believes that Winter
racing would greatly increase the influx
of undesirable persons, whom he desiS-
mates as gamblers thieves and ruftians,
followers Of racing enterprise, which,
driven from the soil of New Jersey. pro-
poses to transfer to the National capital
during the three succeeding months its
questionable operations"
1t Is said that the Ivy City manage
ment will endeavor to race without a
license. If an attempt is made to stop
them, then they will appeal to the
courts. Such a course will undoubtedly
put an end to racing in Washington for
ever.
Mayor Jackson. of Gloucester City,
evidently b1 be d II Home Rule for
racing on and and after Dec for the
space of three months. Mayor Jackson,
however, declares that he doesn't care
what the laws of the State direct. The
people of Gloucester City want racing
and gambling, and he is not going to lift
his finger TO prevent such things.
Gloucester City would be dead without
them, and for that reason he doesn
intend to interfere. Sheriff Barrett, how
ever, intends to close up all the gambling
resorts and the race tracks on Friday.
tleman, has not deigned to reply. 1t is
probable that the Sheriff will come out
on top of the heap.
The judges at Bennings must be smok-
ing very hard. Bessie Bisland was
placed third In the fifth race, when
Tommy Dixon was entitled to that posi-
ton; Strathmaid was given third place
In the sixth instead of Capt. Brown.
The Executive Committee at Gutten-
burg, yesterday decided that the book

Grant on Integrity was a most wonder
full piece of work. The spectators were
convulsed with laughter. Both boys are
midgets and can barely keep their seats
in the saddle. Fancy, then, finish be-
tween them on two tired nags.
Scamp, a brother to Shelly futile,
was believed to be a real good thing IN
the fifth race. A lot of money went in
on him. He was never prominent.
