BELMONT BACKS
RACE TRACK BILL

DOVER, March THE Race Track bill
was introduced by Representative Ben
mum at the instance of J. p. Hyatt, a
Wilmington newspaper man who is also
connected with the Street and Sewer De-
partment.
III has been ascertained that the real
hackers Of the bill are August Belmont,
of New York, as well as other sporting
mon of his class. who are financially in
terested in the New York Jockey Club
and the steeplechase Association, of that
city.
The proposed track II the bin should
pass. will likely be located at ClaymonL
on the boundary line Of Delaware and
Pennsylvania, which would afford an
excennt opportunity for the sportsmen
Of New oYrk Philadelphia and some Of
the other larger cities TO attend.
The bill as presented under the guise
Of an education bill. was referred TO the
Committee on Education, of which Rep
resentatlve Conwell is chairman 1t is
more than probable that the bill will never
come out Of the committee, or if it does,
will receive an unfavorable report.
