Mr.. Payne regarding the limits OF the

held that il did not. He wanted to know
In turn OF Mr.. Payne how far the bill

HEAVY TRIBUTE
FOR EXISTENCE.


dollar of it, from the people of this city
The Corrigans, the Ullmans, the book
makers and gamblers did not give it..
They came here to make money, not
to give it. They came to set their traps
for honest and dishonest men alike, and
then with their easily won bank rolls
return to spend their winnings in East
ern communities. The people sof San
Francisco have supplied the 81, 736176 92
and more which the masters of: Ingle-
side have expended, and it will be easy
to show just how the enormous sum
was sucked cut of the community, and
why none of it: has. been returned to
it's source. The facts themselves, in
their simplest presentation, will prove
that the millions which have gone into
Ingleside have been drawn from pro-
ductive channels into an entirely un-
productive field and have thence been
sent to other communities. The city is
being drained of it's very substance by
the racecourse:
The greatest revenue. of the track
is derived from the bookmakers, who
pay daily tariff for the privilege of
gambling. At Ingleside every book
maker pays license of $40 for every
race upon which he makes a book.
There are on an average six races a
day and one hundred racing days in
the Ingleside racing season. At least
eighteen bookmakers gamble every
racing day. These facts and figures
are easily computed and they show
that in four years the Ingleside Asso-
citation has received from the book

makers the enormous sum of 1884,
600.
The bookmakers of Ingleside are
not in the business for their health.
They exist because they win money,
not because they lose it. It is hardly
credible for one to claim that the
bookmakers paid this sum to the In
gleside association. They never paid
"a dollar of it. The people of San Fran
cisco were bled for it and then the Gi-
recters Of Ingleside boast that they
gave in. purses and stakes in four
years the sum of $3.50, $50 rs. The
deluded victims of the track, through
their. agents, the :bookmakers, paid
fol. these purses and. stakes. :;
Nor is. this the whole story of. what
!. the people of :this city pay for the
dreadful luxury of having Ingleside
and it's bookmakers. These gamblers
must not only pay big. tribute to the as
sociation, but each must employ on an
average of five men each at daily sal
ary Of SO. This has meant in four rae
Ing seasons at: Ingleside "a: gigantic sal
ary roll of $S60,00O to the .bookmakers.
1t is clear, therefore, that the pub
lie Of San Francisco has in. four years
paid to the booknakers alone ST ,224,
600 as a bonus for the privilege of
gambling. AS a matter of necessity,
this tremendous. sum had TO be paid
to the bookmakers before the public
could win a dollar. And of this sum
1854, 900 has gone into the greedy
clutches Of the managers of the race
course. The price has been paid not
only in gold but in the blood and hon
or of once. decent men and women and
the wreck of homes.
But the story of Ingleside's income
and its source has not yet been told.
| Tribute Is laid upon all who enter the
gates Of the track Every visitor pays
his or her dollar for admission. The
! boys that do the gam bling for the wo-
men in the stand. pay 81 so a day for
the. privilege. From each Of these
young fellows. who receive at the track
a training in vice and dishonesty, the
managers of rngiesfde' extract daily

truth. They circulate the earnings Of
men and women who listen to the Sc
ductiYe tips Of the gamblers and in
the service 8they render the hotels re-
ceive the snare into which they drop
and lose their earnings. The servants
of the hotels i'm which the Ingleside
rout of gamblers reside during their
campaign in this city can tell bitterly
whose money is circulated. The money
of the track is circulated in saloons and
| disreputable resorts. 1t is circulated to
incite disorder and deeds of violence. to
debauch women and disgrace men.
Money that should be in public
treasures has been circulated by In4e
gleside. The grave of Norton speaks
eloquently of some of the money
which Ingleside has set in circuIa-
ton: The fight of Welburn tells of
more that the racecourse set in circu-
lation, The degradation and humiIia-
ton of a Neall is a lesson more elo-
quent than the pleading of Ingleside's
directory to tell how money has been
circulated in San Francisco. The
dreadful story of Botkin, the desc
lated home ia Delaware, and the
crime-laden household in. this city are
facts far more significant to illustrate
the power of the track to circulate
money than Ingleside's facts and fig
ures.
And this is the plea which the direc-
tors Of Ingieside make for exist
ence in this city. These men who add
nothing to the wealth of the city. who
produce nothing but the seeds. of. crime.
who contribute nothing but the fruits,
of vice, ask for municipal liberation
and public patronage. They tell them
I selves the story of their own unpro-
ductive burden upon the city and then
ask the right to continue to live at the
expense of everything worthy of ex-
istence. These gamblers have told in
their own words and in their own Wav

this city have built the raeecourse

THE: CITY PAYS
FOR THE SHAME
OF:'THE TRACK.

THE directors of Ingleside have
given to the public of this city a
series Of. facts of almost terrifying
L import. These worthy gentlemen
have inadvertently told the peo-
pie of tbi~ city what it costs San Fran
cisco in dollars and cents to license the
disgrace producing, death-dealing game
Of the race course. The press and the
pulpit hape-in the recital of bitter facts
shown what il costs this city in human
lives and in: the honor of men and
women sacrificed to maintain the In
gleslde evil. The directors of the blight
ing institution give now the COM
panion story to this picture of crime
and show what a tremendous drain
upon its vital forces this city suffers
in permitting Ingleslde to exist.
1t should not be understood that the
directors of Ingleside are telling the
whole truth, but upon the authority of
facts and figures, tabulated by their
own employees; these directors confess
that nearly TWO millions of dollars
have been sucked from tlAs city in the
last four years.. If the truth were told
the appalling aggregate might perh APPS
be twice as large, but as the In
gleside manipulatUrs give the figures
they record a fact which merits the
most serious consideration by those
who seek the Welfare ofsthe city.
In their statement of Disbursements
the managers OF. .Ingleside show that in
the last four years the Ingleide track
has paid out. $I,736,176 90 Where this

deluded victims Of the gamblers paid
for the investment. They built the
track. {:
The horde of bookmakers, gamblers
and touts who fieeis into tho city cer-
tainiy did not give the money. The
present directory of 1ngieside shows
that the California directors did not do
50, as their investment is most unus-
uaiiY modest and has been more than
repaid In dividends
