fected 1t would be legislation that could hardly
be passed in all fairness. The , per cent tax
now levied as a special fund. which is apprO-
priated for the benefit of the agriculture societies
of the State, is quite large enough. and all that
the racing associations can and should be called
OH TO pay 1t is even now tax that is out of
proportion to any other levied but It is paid
ungrudgingly because it is appropriated for
worthy cause which is indirectly along the same
lines as those the various associations are work
ing for-the improvement in the breed or thor
oughbred horses.
The other ra ling bill introduced last week by
AssembIyman Lewis. Of OsWego County pro-
poses two amendments to the present law but
like the bill to increase the tax, il does not seem
worthy of much consideration. It's real object
is to inject politics in the appointment of the
State Racing Commission. and this, above all
things should be avoided. The commission. as
now should be made up of men who have the
best interests of racing at heart and who are
qualified for the place The associations are
well satisfied and racing folk have confidence
then why any change? Mr.. Lewis frankly
avows his real reason when he says Il have
no criticism to make of the conduct Of the
present commission, except that II looks to me
to be TOO one sided. Mr. Belmont is a thorough
sportsman, but he is a Democrat, and l believe
there are any number of Republicans interested
in hOrseracing who are entitled to recognition" >"

The sport will unquestionably reach its high
water mark this wear The turf's present era
Of genuine prosperity is cause for well merited
respect and congratulatiOn And its popularity
IS ever growing. Conditions have changed. Rae
ing now holds the place a sport in which such
men as D. d. Withers, John A. Norris, the late
August Belmont the late Pierre LOrillard, A. J.
Cassatt and John Hunter worked hard and
diligently to place it. The number of men who
are now interested in the breeding and racing
Of thoroughbreds can be numbered in the thou
sands, and tens OF thousands from every walk
in life can be ranked among its devotees. Men
high in social political and professional circles
lend their influence and give their support. and
the great solons of the financial world make it
possible by their millions for the highest type
Of the thoroughbred TO be bred and raced. The
curse Of the old merry go rounds at Guttenburg,
old Brighton and other smaller tracks has been
lifted, and the sport is now welcomed with open
arms and as much enthusiasm as il was at
one time condemned and ridicued. The reasons
are obvious The sport is on a higher plane,
It's best interests are conserved and fostered and
there is lacking. except in instances, the
breath of scandal and the taint OF jobbery and
professionalism. Further than that, strictly
business methods now govern. The day of the
pig IN the poke" as far as breeding and racing
are concerned, is past, and men now know what
can be counted when IL comes to investing
in racing properties. breeding farms and the
high strung youngsters which furnish the en-
JeTtainment.
