More and more IL seems daily that the turf in
this state kept UP largely FOR I'VE purposes First
for the rasping Of excessive profits for the owners
OF the tracks; second. FOR the promotion Of gam

the enrichment Of dishonest bOokmakers and dis
honest keepers o. pOOlrOoms. Attn for the cheating
OF the public. And more and more clearly does Il
appear every day thar the IN and out running Of
Warrenton and the repeated running Of Warrenton
when he was ~ holly unfit TO race, have been among
the foulest scandals Of the turf both IN 1898 and
1899
