that ths association permitted and en-
outraged brtting within iis grounds and
that the privilege ~ mnlungnluuk was given

Sol Iichtenstein and George Whcclpoh,
bookmakars, wrr" on the stand AZ the morn
ing session. They testified that they were
members ~ the Metropolitan Turf A--o-
citation. and that they had not, "ithcr in
~dividually Or ~ Nets, az any tim" entered
into any agreement with any mCing nsao-
citation In reference to the making u books
at the tracks. There had lecu some ungo-
tiationa about three Year. ago, they said,
but their proposals. to chip IN 80 much apiece
90 the racing funds had been rejected.
They then decided that ~ u was to their
intereHts to promote the racing iusin"Ss.
they would buy Of their own accord every
day 357 worth Of badges apiece. The
secretary Of the Nets, sullivan attends To
this matter every day, and goes around
collecting the s57 from each man, He then
buys the badges AZ the ticket office,
, None Of the bOOkmakers, Iichtenstein and
Wheelock said, ever. 50 far as they knew,
paid anything to John q Cavanagh or any
enc else for their places in the betting ring.
They did buy stationery, pencils, pro-
grammes, &c, from Cavanagh every day.
n places are chosen by lot every night
for the following day and distributed by
Secretary Sullivan, the bookmukers said.
Often what IL known as the best place, No
I, turns out TO be very poor L%ichtenstein
said that he had No. l the other day and 1T
wasn't worth a quarter" Wheelock raised
q laugh by saying that he was both a layer
and a player, often playing more than he
laid.
The number OF members in the M%etropoli-
tan Turf Association ranges from 40 20
100, said Li~chtenstein. At t57 a day this
would mean q daily income to the tracks
of from s.. 2sO to s8,sio, August Belmont
was. it seems, in error when he testified on
Tuesday that every layer in 1904 bought
fifty-seven tickets daily at 81 a ticket,
