WORKED LIKE-A CHARM.
NEW BETTING SYSTEM AT MORRIS PARK.
The Cookers Make Note of It and the Players Pay in the Hereafter er-There Will
 Be No WeIshing

Morris Park, N. Y, May 1.-The new racing law was tested at Morris Park today. It was the inaugural day of the National Steeple Chase associations spring meeting. The new betting system acted like charm. No one need worry about placing a wager under the new or der of affairs All the prominent book makers were on hand.
 The system agreed upon by the book makers was to make a memorandum-of the transactions and settle upon an oc casion to be mutually agreed upon. There was no lack of speculation and it was done in quiet and orderly manner. There was some kicking about the prices obtained. One man got 10 to l on Say On and was jubilant when he ascer- tained from his friends that the prevail ing odds were to 5.
 It took. some tall hustling to get the market prices, as the bookmakers were guided solely by the amount of money wagered with them in the making of odds. It is doubtful if as good odds will be obtainable under the new order of things but there is no doubt but that man can bet as much as he likes if he is known to be man of his word. The bookmakers will undoubtedly brand de> faulters. and the associations will prob ably assist them all in their power by refusing admission to men who have not kept faith with the pencilers. The same rule will apply equally to defaulting bookmakers.
 The racing today was of an exception ally high order. Some of the finishes were quite exciting. The attendance was large and the association reaped a hand some profit on the ventre. Sayonara won the first race in very hollow fashion. Pat Oakley put the talent in good humor hxr inn aff,cr hn nd ami fn handily.
 The St. Nicholas hurdle handicap, con trary to general expectations was won by Red Cloud His closing price was 12 to l. He won after long and persistent drive with Judge Morrow.
 The race of the day was the New York steeplechase handicap. This event was won by Lady Raymond by head, after a ding-dong finish with the Peer The fifth and last race of the day was hunt CTS ~fiat race. Logan was an odds-on fayorite against the field. Whether it was the weight or the odds, or both. is not known but Logan was a badly beaten horse at the finish. Price beat him with something to spare.
