that as it may, if the writer will take
the trouble to consult the patrons OF

it will not take an extended article to
refute these mass of lies Gas he terms
them but they will SO dwindle that in

poetry. | am not aware that there
are any here who are opponents Of ed

educational purposes when they do not
get value received am not in the
habit OF replying to communications

early history of some of New jerseys
most famous racing institutions, gam
bling was as much a part of the rae
ing game as racing itself was. Wagers
were made on the results of the various
events, n 1t was considered a gentle
mans game to bet q few dollars on
one of the nag's chances. There was no
secrecy made about these wagers. After
the races had been run these men, win
ners and losers, sojourned to some way
side tavern, generally close to the track,
and the winners consoled the losers with
their stories of horse life. Instinctively,
as 1t WERE, betting began with the first
horse race. 1t was only human nature
asserting itself. Where there was a
chance to win something it made the
sport more fascinating. and, as ! said
before, gambling and horse racing have
gone along hand in hand ever since the
birth Of the former. Doesn't 1t seem
queer that after all these years horse
racing Is to be doomed just because the
laws of the land will not permit a man
to go to the track and wager or his
opinion?
Gamblers to Blame.
You will heal a great deal of talk
about who is to blame for this change
of public opinion. No one but the gam
bier at the track, the men who took
your money. are to blame. Betting,
from a sport, fostered into an organized
business. If you had an opinion as to
the merits of a horse you couldn't go
up n make a wager like the former
folks of a former generation did. You
had to be satisfied with what the
trust bookmaker gave you. If the
majority of horse fanciers favored a
certain nag that a was put up at a
prohibitive price and IL you didn't care
to bet on 1t you had to do without. The
action of the bookmakers disguised the
fair sporting men and women and o o
murmurs of disapproval were heard.
To get even with these gambler kings
bettors formed themselves to break the
"bookies," and all sorts of stunts were
resorted to. One of these was tapping"
the wires which carried the news of
racing to pool rooms. Arrests followed
rose up and said that to remove all the
trouble the only thing to do was to pro-
hiblt the bookmaker from taking bets
at the 'tracks, and this became a law.
And Note the Result.
Just look over to New York State
and see the result of this law. Sara
