following to say I'm the last issue OF The
Southern Planter:
THE passage OF the Constitutional
Amendment, or ADti-PoOl Law, BY an
overwhelming majority in New York. has
probably a more disastrous bearing on
the great horse breeding centre OF Ken
lucky than on any section OF the United
States. The penalty for bookmaking
or any form Of betting will be decided
by the next Legislature. and the only
hope / see Is. that that body OF men Will
make the penalty merely nominal one;
but. at best, things look at present pref
ty blue.
81 do not see just what the trouble Is
or where the blame. but there is some
thing consttutionally wrong where 1t is
possible for a majority Of the people OF
any section to render almost worthless
the property. amounting to many mil
lions OF dollars, Of other people. Ihdt
the citizens of the great Empire state
should have done this must have been
through thoughtlessness, probably iGno-
rantly. This can well be fact when we
consider that only about ore-tenth OF
the citizens of New York city are the
race-going public, or even know that
racing is going on. 1t may be possible
10 move racing to another state. but
where? Chicago and New York are the
only two cities that can support racing
real racing. New Jersey wont do. Just
| here my friends, Is a chance TO bring
many dollars into dear old Virginia.
| don't mean to bring the blacklegs and
| riff-raff of Gutenberg and Gloucester
| TO Virginia. but honest. fair, good racing
stake races such as will secure such
! stables as the Belmont. the Keenes. :.
! a. Brown, Lorrilard. etc, etc. rms
has already been begun at st. Asaph's
| by the Virginia Jockey Club. Now let
| the enterprising managers inauSurate
| 3takes, handiCaps, etc.
The following breeders thus express
| their opinions: Mr.. &. J. Enright, owner
and proprietor Of Flmendorf. is rather
blue. and says he don't know just what
to do fears 1t means big loss; for
| the cause. he seems TO blame some mem
| hers Of the racing fraternity and some
| Of the big Associations. and says they
| were making too much money, and what
| should have been place and means Of
recreation and pleasure got TO be a mo-
nopoly and simply a money-making
scheme not in the interest OF the sport
| OF Kings"
Fl. r. Headley. proprietor Of beaumont
Stud says We'll. | don't know what
| to say; guess 1 can raise wheat at ftty
cents a bushel;" but his friends say ne
is a good man to take a ticket on.
Mr. Rogers, trainer and manager for
millionaire" Sam Brown. says it is bad,
but hopes for the best from the Legs
lature he and Mir. Enrght agree as 20
| the cause, and Mr.. Rodgers, who is just
from New York, says the trouble IS,
many people did not know what they
were voting on. He rises up in righteous
Indignation against many Of the men
| whom he considers prime factors in the
| movement. Just here, / will add. Mr..
r. is the best judge Of a horse | ever
| saw.
Mr.. Milton Young, at far-famed Nc
| Grathiana, takes most philosophical
| view of the matter-"What cant be
cured must be endured"-but ADDS, I'VE
are all in just the same boat with the
| trottng men," and Mr.. Young has the
most fortunate temperament IN the
world.
Mr.. r. ]. Carson. Of DiXiana, says:
81 don't know what can be done but
am not disheartened; L am stil d buyer
for the right sort"
Captain Clay looks on the bright side
OF everything; there is something in hav-
Ing been a soldier and used to all kinds
Of luck.
Major Thomas does not seem to be
especially blue; not enough 50 at least
TO keep him from being as joYial as ever
] don't think he thinks IL possible for a
well-grown colt or flly by his pet, Him
var. not TO bring a smart price.
| Major Daingerfield. manager for j. X.
& i. p. Keenc. deeply regrets the pas
sage Of this amendment. which must
affect most injmiously the interests Of
his employers.
Now, | do not mean TO say that bet

Mutual Pool ticket is too similar TO a
| stake race or many other forms ~ ''-
| vestment for me 10 draw the line or
| difference, and / can but recall the quo
tation-
atone for sins YOU are inclined to,
BY damning those you have no mind

| when I hear so many condemn, as strong

its patrons.
