One of the most conspicuous figures in the
Stageland of America to-day is John w.
Norton. Born in the seventh ward of New
York City fOrty-six years ago, the friends
of his youth were Thomas W. Keene and
Frank Chanfrau. We find KeCne a star at
the age of % and Norton in the flower Of
early manhood, the leading man for Edwin
Booth at the famous Winter Garden Thea
tire. He was starred with Lawrence Bar
rett early in the 70s, and alternated the
leading roles with Charles ThOrne at the
Variety Theatre in New Orleans. Early in
the Centennial year, in Louisville, Norton
met our Mary Anderson, then a fair young
girl who aspired for stage fame, took her
under his guidance and as everybody knows
led her to fame. Mr.. Norton is now the
proprietor of the Grand Opera House in St.
Louis, the Du Quesne Theatre, Pittsburg
and one of the stockholders in the American
Extravaganza Company.

One afternoon early in June he hobbled

NEW YoRK's RACING LAW.
A RearGument of the Case Ordered
by the General Term.

A RearEument of the Case Ordered
by the General Term.
New York, Nov. 4-The general term of
the court of common pleas to-day handed
down two different opinions on the con-
stitutionality of the Percy Gray racing
law. Judge Giegerich. in a long opinion.
sustains the constitutionality of the law,
holding that the statute permitting
sweepstake racing and authorizing the
enforcement of the contract, is, in my
judgment, clearly in harmony with both
the letter and spirit of the constitutional
amendments in question. Judge Bischoff
holds that the law is unconstitutional.
The case was heard before the June term
of the court, when Judge Giegerich and
Judge Bischoff were sitting. The general
term to-day ordered a reargument of the
case.
A decision was rendered in the case of
Henry G. Hudson against the Fleming
Jockey Club. Hudson sued the jockey club
in the first judicial district court to re-
cover a sweepstake purse of 500 which
his horse won, and which the jockey
club refused to pay on the ground that
the race was a lottery, and, therefore,
unconstitutional. Judge Lynn, in the dis
trict court, held that the race was a lot
terry and gave judgment in favor of the
jockey club. Hudson appealed from this
decision, and Judge Giegerich wrote an
opinion declaring the law constitutional,
but Judge BischOff differed from him and
the case will be reargued before the gen.
eral term in the court of common pleas.
