A brilliant ray of light has flashed across
the eastern turf world. Ii is not only the
opinion of Governor Morton's constitu.
| tIonal adviser, but also of the ablest con.
stitutionai lawyer in the legislature, that
! the anti-gambling amendment to the con-
stitution does not OF itself repeal the Ives
pool law, under which racing in this state
| has been conducted since 1887, says a New
| York dispatch. More than this, there APP
pears to be disposition among the re-
pubicans of Albany TO treat the report
and those interested in 1t fairly and equit-
ably. The outcome will probably be the
! appointment of committee to inquire
into the sport and place the facts before
the legislature. Such action by the legis-
lators IN this matter would be backed up
by the agricultural societies in the state,
who are in receipt of a handsome revenue
from the tax collected under the Fish
amendment to the Ives bill. In the pres
ent temper of the legislature, in view of,
the legal opinions and with tho moral
support of the agricultural societies. the
breeders and the sportsmen of the East,
the jockey club would seem to have found
its opportunity. 1t will prepare TO present
the sport in its true light to the commits
sion to be appointed by the legislature,
and i'm all probability racing will lie con-
Quoted here this year precisely as il was
in 1894.

clared themselves against coming West.
