HORSE RACING IN DELAWARE.
A Race-track Bill to be introduced In the
General Assembly,

A Race-track Bill to be Introduced In the
General Assembly,
Staff Correspondence OF Gazette and journal.
Dover, Jan. SIT is understood that
an effort will soon be made to have a
race-track bill passed by the Legisla-
ture. There has been considerable talk
on that line around Dover for the past
few days, but nobody seems TO have
any definite idea as to what shape the
measure will assume. 1t was asserted
last night that parties living outside
the State, who are DESTROYS of coming
to Delaware with their schemes, have
been showing their hand already, and
that at least one plan has been ey-
posed. From what can be learned rival
CAPITALISTS are DESTROYS of accomplish
ing the same object, but how far they
will aniagonize each other ia not
known. Law. abiding people hero claim
that they will bring great pressure on
the Legislature should a race track
bill be introduced, and hope to kill
any that may put their heads above
water.
Dame Rumor has it that one party
with raGe.track proclivities is now
negotiating for tract Of land near the
Delaware river within a stones throw
of the city of Wilmington, with view
to having track, pool-room and
other kindred attractions thereon, and
that iegalization of the nefarious
business is hoped for. 1t is also said
to be the intention of the parties in
question to run II line OF steamboats,
between Wilmington and Philadelphia
and to make the steamboats, veritabe
gambling bells, and drinking bars. 1t
is believed to be the idea to keep these
boats in midstream the greater mart OF
the time. with view to keeping them
we'll filed with gamblers and patrons
of liquid refreshments. Such plan
would undoubtedly attract thousands
of people from Wilmington, Chester
and Philadelphia, and with Delaware
race track and pool-room legalized,
there ia no doubt that the proprietors
would derive large revenue.
Several parties here claim to be
aware of the fact that such scheme
is on foot, although it was not until
last night that there was an inkling
| of it.
1t is likely that there will soon be an
organized movement against race track
| legislation. and that any measure
which might come up will be bitterly
fought. The Law and Order Society
of Wilmington will. it is thought, take
hand in the opposition.
