been anything but satisfactory to the

has decreed that no money must pass

settling bets, on race course. This
being the case, IL is impossible for the
small bettor. who is the mainstay
and profit of the turf. to do any bust
ness
on the opening day of the meeting.
when the Brooklyn handicap was run
this ruling was not i'm force. and bet
ting was conducted as openly. in many
cases, as under the Ives pool law, or
on an English truck and everything
was as merry as a marriage bell. This
aroused the attention of the Brooklyn
Law and Order society. who called the
attention of the district attorney of
Kings county to the matter. and by so
doing scared the Jockey club into a
fit. Good legal authorities declared
that there was nothing i'm the law
which prevented bool<makers from pay
ing their debts Immediately after each
race, or of receiving money from the
bettors who owed them. and there was
talk of making test case and carry
ing the matter into court for a decision
but the racetoraGk people are afraid to
do this. because they know that If they
got a decision i'm their favor the Law
and Order society would appeal the
case and carry IL up to the supreme
court whore the law might be de-
clared unconstitutional
As a result of this state of affairs
the Brooklyn Jockey club meeting will
be n failure, but the word has been
quietly passed around among the book
makers and bettors that the order
against the passing of money will not
be so strictly enforced later on. Mean
while, the bookmakers are making
