There Is ono section OF the Percy
Gray law--the law forbidding bet
ting on horseraces In New York State
that Is at once very strong and
very weak, says the broadway Maya

receive out Of the gross revenues OF
ala racetracks Il certain perrentum.
liv the original law the State got
! pcf cent A wear ago. when Il sharp
iignt was made In the Legislature.
the racing people consented 70 nm
amendment whereby this percentages
is Increased gradually until the State
receives rs per cent. The money
from the racetracks goes to the State
agricultural societies for the support
Of county fairs.
The amoant the county fairs get
Is so great that 1t dazzles the up
State legislators. 1t avero ges about
$1,000 day for every day of the
year. The gross receipts OF the
Sheepshead Bay or Belmont Park
tracks range from $4,000 10 SIS.
000 a dag; they average nearly $50,
600.
II is only on gala days that the
receipts reach the $4,000 figure.
The Brighton Beach Track paid sS2.
773 to the State as its share of the.
tax last year. There were less than
thirty days racing at Brighton. so
the gross receipts we're shade un-
der those OF the more fashionable
tracks.
In every legislative attack on tho
racing law the upstate legislators
have been swayed by this question OF
money Some earnest conscientious
members. who do not approve Of
gambling In any form. seriously de-
clare that without the racing tax
many agricultural societies would 90
to smash and fairs would be aban-
doned.

Odd Reason for Bankruptcy.

One of the oldest reasons ever
given for bankruptcy was that heard
about year ago in Malta court A
Maltese tradesman whose affairs were
in hopeless disorder put It all down
to the fact that he followed a creditor
on board ship. and found himself an
unwilling passenger TO England, the
ship having started while he WAS be
low During his enforced absence bis
foreman collected all the available
cash and decamped. leaving the shop
to look after itself When the owner
got home he found himself ruined
man.
