"RACING NOT \ CRIME"
NEW YORK, October H--Judge Ingra-
ham, in the Court Of oyer and Ter
miner. to-day d,cidCd that there was
nothing In the Constitution making
horse-racing a crime; that 10 racing or
running Of horses is In violation Of law.
The Wcstchcs;er Racing Association
was 10 open up its first meeting at Nor
ris Park tomorrow. and, to decide the
Legality of the Perry-Gray racing law.
Colonel Lawrence, president of the West
chester Racing Association. was arrest
"a last Saturday. He was charged
with advertising II lottery and maintain
ing public nuisance, and was taken
before Magistrate Cornell. who paroled
him IN the custody Of his counsel. \
writ of habeas corpus was then granted
by Supreme Court Judge Ingraham, who
made the writ returnable this morning.
After hearing argument this morning.
Judge Ingrahan said that the only thing
he had 10 decide in the application was
whether there was any law making the
proposed racing q crime, and whether
the defendant was about 10 violate IT,.
In The case OF Harris against White"
said he, "it was distinctly decided that
il was not a crime TO hang Up a purse
and let horses race for ii. l believe that
this complaint shows no violation of the
law Of this state. and that no crime has
been committed"
