Judge Pryor Renders the Decision of
the Court of Appeals.

New YonK, May Z, 1894. The General
Term of the Court of Common Pleas has
decided that the Ives pool bill is illegal in SO

article l, of the Constitution of the State of

ing that pool on horse race is a lottery
within the interdict OF the Constitution and
that hookmaking is still Illegal by the Re-
vised Statutes which makes unlawful all
wagers, bets or stakes on any race or any

of Robert G. Irving against Joseph A. Brit
ton. The suit was brought to recover the

horse race The suit was tried in the City
Court and Irving got Judgment against
Britton Britton appealed and the judg-
ment was reversed and the complaint dis
missed upon the merits.

Saturday and they were afraid to go to
work this morning. A mass meeting was
held near Paul this morning, the strikers
voting that as they had forced practical
shut down at Vanderbilt they would go
to their homes Many of these men have
