RAGING SEASON OPENS
At AcQuEDucr TRACK

New York. April 16.-The metro
politan racing season of 1908 was in
augurated Wednesday at the Aque-
duct track, and the days program was
carried out without interference and
with only slight changes in the usual
system of betting. Outwardly there
were no signs that stubborn legisla-
tive battle had been waged at Albany
for two months to make race track
gambling impossible in this state. but
to one familiar with the old conditions
and methods on New York race tracks
there were apparent many small con-
cessions to the public sentiment
against the betting system. Public in
terest, in fact. was centered almost as
strongly in the rumored changes in the
betting pavilions as in the contests be-
tween the various fields of thorough
breds that made up an attractive pro-
gram.
Of these fields the Carter handicap
with it's rich prize of $4,000, was the
one big feature The race went to
Jack Atkin, Barney Schreiber's good
horse, with Red River second and
Chapultepee, the favorite third. Jack
Atkin was held at to in the betting,
Red River at 80 to 1 and Chapultepec
