kNTI-RACIkG BILL

Assemblyman Miller introduced a bill
yesterday at Albany which II made law

track.
The measure prohibits the maintenance
OF a race track within four miles or

week: but II may affect Belmont park
which was constructed last summer at a
cost OF sl.5oO.0oo.
Belmont park. by rail. Is nearly four
and a half miles from Jamaica, but AS
"the crow flies" some people think II
is within the four-mile limit. The dis
tance has never been measured officially.
II can only be judged by the railroad
maps, which show that the station at
Queens is three and half miles from
Jamaica The track. by rail. is situated
nearly a mile beyond Queens.
Racing men, when shown the proposed
bill to prohibit racing within the four
mile limit. last night said that when the
track was constructed ample precautions
were taken TO locate il a mile beyond
Queens. so that II would not come within
the city limits.
The proposed track at Garden City be-
hind which Philip ]. Dwyer. OF the
Brooklyn Jockey club is said TO be the
principal purchaser OF the ground re-
Gently acquired, has aroused a storm OF
Indignation among the property-holders
OF that place. Meetings OF citizens have
been held and the proposed race track
denounced.
