RECEIPTS FROM RACING
prsr-Irs OF ONE SEASON UNDER THE
GRAY LAW
che BUSINESS OF THE TRACKS AND THE STATE
TAX MUCH LESS THAN THEY WERE LAST
YFAR-coMPARIsoNs WITH OTHER
YEARs-AwARDs TO TOWN AND
~or->-rv rArp ASSOCIATIONS

Albany. M-JaneS A.
controller has received the reports OF some OF the
v,ven of learning the probable amount of their
nusness under the Gray Racing law and also the
r-obable receipts OF the State Treasury from the
sax imposed by that law. Judging from these re-
rorts the racing business decreased over one-half
a. 1895 as compsr red with 1894. and. moreover the
associations have the additional expense OF sup
,o-ting the Racing Commission. 1t may reason
.bly be expected. however, that within two or
,h-ee years the business will increase largely.
The States revenue from racing apparently VII
diminish two-thirds compared with 1894 under
the old system. Yet the comparison is not alto
we,her just Under law passed in 1894 the taxa
s.on OF the gross receipts Of the racing assoc!a-
,,ons was increased 10 per cent. In 1895 only
re- 10 81 was paid into the State Treasury under
vhe Ives Pool Law tax but in 1891. under the per
cent tax the OF si2527 Il derived from
mis- source. Although the States income under
,be new system, as compared with last year. will
be reduced. still the law promises TO bring in
rs much as was received from the Ives tax.
The decrease in the receipts OF the jockey clubs
and OF the State may be shown by two examples.
rhe Coney Island Jockey Club in 1894 had gross
receipts amounting 10 S52.l57 49, and 1t paid on
.hjs sum tax OF s27.so7 SO. This year the same
clubs gross receipts amounted 10 only SS.lS 80
md II will pay OF 50 lj9 81 The Brooklyn
Jockey Clubs gross receipts n 1894 were SSs'-
eao Co. upon which II paid tax OF S2lsn ms year
ats gross receipts only Si6.S46 %. and It's tax
will amount 10 only S7Si7 49,

A $25o,ooo WEDDING.
Brewer Busch's Daughter Married To
Herr Won Gontard.

Brewer Busch's Daughter Married to
Herr Won Gontard.
ST. Louis, Mo, Dec 17.-An inter
national event, the most nota bic of it's
kind, socially, that has ever taken
place in ST. Louis, was celebrated at
o'clock last exening at the Church of
the Messiah. 1t was the marriage of
Miss arasHazel Busch, daughter of
Adolphus Busch, the brewer, and
Herr Paul Won Gontard, a prominent
citizen of Germany. The beauty of
the bride, the wealth of her father,
the station of the groom and the mag
nifcence of the wedding arrange
ments made the affair one long to be
remembe
Thousands of invitations were is
sued to the many friends of the Busch
family, and among those present were
many from Chicago, New York, Gal
weston, Texas, and elsewhere.
It is estimated that the wedding ar
engagements cost Mr.. Busch fully $780,
600. The wedding gifts were nu-
merous and costly aggregating in
value about $4,000 In addition, is
the estate in Germany, valued at
800, 900, which was given to the bride
by her father as wedding present.
