TO TEST RACING Law.
Counsel Contend the Peroy-Gray
Act Is Unconstitutional.
The Case Prepared at Flushing
Submitted to the Court.
Judge BischoT to Decide if a sweep.
stakes Is II Lottery.

The constitutionalty OF the Percy
Gray Racing act was questioned In a
SUIT in the Court OF Common Pleas be-
fore Judge Bischoff to-day.
j. G. Dudley has an action pending
against the Flushing Jockey Club to re
cover sl75, the value of sweepstakes
won by the horse Brown Dick on the
Flushing track May Is.
Dudley claims the race in question was
a sweepstakes of s25 each. with 800
added by the club. Four horses were en-
tered, making the total value OF the
stakes 500 When his horse won Dudley
received only 81. the amount of his en-
trance fee.
Joel Marx, counsel for Dudley, claimed
the Jockey club was responsible for
the full amount OF the stake, and cited
the Percy Gray act in support of the
legality OF racing.
benjamin Steinhart OF Howe & Hum
mel. on behalf OF the Flushing Jockey
Club, contended that the complaint did
not disclose cause OF action. The
Percy-Gray act. he declared, was uncon-
stitutional. because 1t permitted the
opera ton OF a lottery. With regard to
the case before the court. there could
be no question as to illegality of the act
complained Of.
A sweepstakes Is a fund created by
the contributions OF horse owners who
race for a prize OF their own creation.
These horse owners. Mr. Ste,nhart
claimed, paid an entrance fee. which was
simply the purchase of chance In "a
gambling enterprise, and as such pro-
hibited by the Constitution,
Judge Bischoff reserved decision.
Several weeks ago representative
OF Howe Hummel went out to Flush
Ing and rented the track for two days.
nearby livery stable was visited and
four saddle horses were hired Riders
were procured and n series Of races
was run. A bookmaker quoted odds In
the ring and everything possible was
done to violate the law.
The participants In this meeting
waited for the police to arrest them.
Contrary to expectation, no raid fol-
lowed They were violating the law In
racing on half-mile track. which Is
prohibited by the Percy-Gray law. The
exhibition by the bookmaker OF betting
paraphernalia and the recording of bets
was also "A violation. The horses racing
were likely to be seized by the state
and the spectators were liable to arrest
for betting.
The case before Judge Bischoff brings
up the matter In a different light. II
brings to public attention numerous
violations OF the law In which plaintiff
and defendant alike participated. I.

damus Against Mayor schieren.
Justice Gaynor. OF the Supreme Court.
Brooklyn, handed down n decision this
morning granting the application OF the
Seaside Athletic Club for mandamus to
compel Mayor Schieren to Issue to the
Club a frst-class theatrical license.
The Justice says the Mayors claim tina t
he had legal right to refuse the Club
a license Is groundless. The charter
says that he must license certain exhi-
billions, which 1t enumerates. Such
license. however, does not permit any
unlawful act to be committed on the
premises.
In his decision Judge Gaynor ad-
minlstered a rebuke to the Police De-
partment. calling their attention to the
fact that no arrests had been made until
last Saturday night IL the exhibitions
were OF the same character, as was
claimed by the police. They were always
present according to the ofilcial state
inents. Saturday nights action, he de-
clared, goes far to prove the previous In
