Purify the Sport-What Mr.. ). :.
Howlnnd Has to Say About 1t.

The racing commission bill viii he pushed
very actively before Congress. aud its id-
roCatcs are very hopeful that ii VIII rass

Committee has been arranged for Tues

The question VIII be heard. but most at.
ten'ion Will probably be given to the advo-
Gates Of the uIh. The opponents, 10y let
teIs and bN personal inicrtlewS, huVr al
reany presented their objections quite
fully.
Mr- =. :. Howland, who is living in the
former Residence or Postmaster GENERAL
WaIidiEa ker. and who wishes TO have The
bill passed i'll ordcr TO open up Il place or
legitimate amusement as Il business enter
prise, Will either bc prcscnl pei sonuiiy or
by representative, To show tHc p.rposcs
and plans of the gentlemen associated with
hlm as IncorporljUrs OF the race aSsoCia-
tion. Mr.. Howiand is a membcr OF the
New York Jockey cub, and Is familiar
with the course UI racing LIIt, the auspices
OF that organization.
Mr.. want says. in the first place, that
they are rs much interested rs anGhody in
preventing houkulaking ana pool selling on
the races run on their tracks. This, 1t is
admitted, cuts down receipts tremendously
at nrsl, nut eventually, they are sure. VIII
prove financially a good move. They
argue that the old method OF racing incv-
itably deGcnerateS into disreputabie meth
cds of pulling races and running in a
ringer" and the like, that disgust all
honest turfmcn.
The Incu who back the present effort to
establish a course in the District wish to
avoid this result. They hope to continue
racing for fifty years or more. By keeping
their place respectable they will not make
SO much AT first. but they will have steady,
many years.
There viii hc betting, they admit. Bat
II will be made up of bets between cntle-
men such as no law can possibly prevent:
such bets are now being made every
day on the approaching political nominal
tions and elections.
Mr. Howland freely admits that there
was betting by bOokmakers, such as Mr..
Crafts describes. the first day or two on
the New York track, but he says that was
only because the law was not fully under
dcrStood and enforced. The courts had net
passed upon il and the men thought they
could carry OH such bOokma king. As
soon as the crowds incident to the opening
days OF the track had thinned a little a
cheek was put upon this quiet form of hook |
making aud now there is practically hone |
of il. 1t is not recognized as legal.
Under the In " il is claimed no bet can be |
made other than 10y words. The slight |
record even upon Il cuff or a fan makes the |
participants liable to prosecution.
