GLOOM AT GRAYESEND

Gravesend Race Track. n. Y.
June 1.-THE news that the legls-
lature had passed the bills that
will put an end to race-track
gambling caused CONSERVATION
here to-day. for no one Of the
1900 regulars ever believed that
the bills would be passed.
Phil Dwyer had nothing 10 say,
neither had the Hitchcock Broth
ers. except 10 declare that Il was
the hardest blow that ever had
beer struck at racing in this
country.
Walter Edwards, secretary Of
the jamaica track. gave II as HIS
opinion that the game was done
for When asked II he thought
that a credit system OF betting
would be introduced, which will
do away with the recording OF
bets on the sheets as at present
and would not leave the layers
liable to prosecution, he said he
doubted If there would be.
In his opinion booknakers would
be taking great chances Of losing.
They could not force their play
ers to pay, as there Is no law TO
which they could appeal 10 re-
cover.
John Cavanaugh. who has
charge Of the ring, said that until
the Jockey Club met nothing def
mite would be known.
James r. Keene, when told that
the Hart-Agnew bills had passed,
could hardly believe the state
ment. He declined absolutely TO
say anything on the subject for
publication.
James B. Haggin said he
thought that the death knell Of
horse racing In this State had
been undoubtedly sounded by the
passage Of the measure.
II think the bills will kill horse
racing in New York State" he
said. "and I am surprised at their
passage. I don't see how purses
can now be paid"
DO you think. now that betting
will be stopped. that people will
remain away from the tracks?"
he was asked.
Il certainly do" he replied.
Those who fill up the stands and
who pay for seats will not go
when they have no chance to get
their money back. ! think the
bills are a disastrous blow at rae
ing"
