NfM
ALBANY. y. Y. May 1.-The passage
of the Gray racing bill by the Senate
to-day. together with Mr.. Wilds two
anu-gamblug bills, insure legitimate

prizes. purses, and premiums, but specih-
cally prohibits bookmaking and pool-sell-
ing OF all kinds On race-tracks where
running races are held, and which have
received a license from the State Racing
Committee. and on all trottins tracks
the bin permits the making Of private
bet or wager. provided that there sndh
be no passing of money directly, ana no
interchange Of record or memorandum OF
bet made.
This in effect establishes betting on
horses i'm this state as il has been con
ductsd for many years in England
The Till provides that not more than
forty days racing shall be held on any
one track between April 18th and Novem-
Der lst. and that all racing shan DE be
tween sunrise and sunset. tax OF .
uer cent. on the gross receipts or all
classes of racing associations, except ag-
ricultural associations. is imposed by the

gambling provisions of the new Consutu-
ton. and prohibit pool-seiling ana book
making and an other kinds Of sambiing'
and specifically repeal the Ives pool
law.
These three bills now go to the Cover
