New York, June 11.--Racing will con
tinuo on the Metropolitan tracks. re-
gardless OF the speculative end OF the
game. for some time 10 come That
was the opinion expressed by several
members OF the Jockey Club after they
had received the news from Albany at
| Gravesend to-day.
z. J. Dwyer, president Of the Brook
lya Jockey club, said that the present
meeting az Grayesend would be carried
out TO the letter while s. L. Parsons.
representing the Coney Island Jockey
Club. speaking from a personal point
of view, declared that the coming
meeting at Sheepshead Bay which is
scheduled 10 open with the Suburban
Handicap on June 10, would go on as
usual 1t is possible that the over
night purses may be reduced. but the
stakes will be run of at their full
value.
VIII FuIAu Contracts.
In spite OF the fact that the passage
Of the Agnew-Hart bill affords a chance
TO the various racing associations to
tracts with the horsemen will be full
filled. As a falling of in the attend
ance is expected, Il Is rumored tonight
that the rates of admission 10 the
tracks would be reduced. while the
general running expenses would re-
ceiye a wholesale cut. II was also
stated on excellent authority that the
tracks would remain open as long as
there was any sort Of patronage.
In Chicago, in 1904, racing was found
Improbable after betting was no long
er permitted
The passage OF the bill was so en-
tirely unexpected by the race track
men that all of them were in the air.
Nobody was willing 70 be quoted as 10
the method OF procedure in future
except that racing would go on. But
there were numerous statements as to
the method Of betting
Adopt English System.
Several members of the Metropolitan
Turf Association. the bookmakers or
ganization, said that in all probability
they would resort TO the English credit
system. That Is 90 say. they would ac-
cept wagers with known patrons with
out the passing OF money and with no
token Of a wager in the shape Of a
ticket
These men having consulted leading
attorneys said that in their opinion
IL would be a hard matter 10 secure
legal proof that a wager had been
made when no actual money had been
placed on a horse.
