An Atlantic City news story states thai
land for II new race track has beer
bought adjoining the inlet in Atlantic
City, and that two leading attorneys are
now drafting bills to be presented at the
next session of the Legislature, to legalizc
horse racing in this State. Why two
attorneys should be specified, or why
they should draw bills to legalize horse
racing, is II mystery. 1t is generally un-
derstood that there is nc legal barrier to
horse racing in this State. There are
races at every fair ground and no doubt
there always will be.

very practical place in modern arbori
