pose to prohibit the making OF bets,
pools or books upon the result OF any
trial of skill or speed of man or beast
on race track upon races or contests
conducted for a period not exceeding
thirty days during any one year IN any
county, or city and county, upon such
race track.
Cutter moved that the bill be denied
