Race track exponents-the men who pat
ronize the bookmakers and the bookmak-
ers who give and take-were. hguratively
speaking, tossing their hats in the air
about town last night and shouting:
Long live the race track and all that
goes with it,"
They stood in groups in the downtown
hotels and discussed the defeat of the
race track bill in the New York senate
at Albany late yesterday afternoon, and
their cheerful countensnces reflected the
JOY that was throbbing within them.
This condition Of exuberance was no.
tieeable from the president of the Jockey
Club down TO the stable boy.
Cavanaugh Gives Opinion.
When John Cavanaugh the man behind
the gun in the betting fraternity, was
seen last night, he was in the best of
humor and acted like a child with a new
toy. Asked what the racing men thought
Of the action of the Empire States senate
in killing the bin. he said;
What do racing men think of the situ-
alton? I viii answer that question by
asking another: What would you think.
and how would you feel If you had been
in danger of losing all opportunity of
making living. and at the moment when
you expected the crisis to come your life
and chances had been spared, and pros
poets were made so bright that you felt
as though opportunities would last a long
long time?
1T is a great hour fer rejoicing, and we
are doing 1t, but as gentlemen. When the
announcer at the track yesterday after
noon let oot the good news. it was music
70 the ears Of all racing people.
The defeat of the bill looks TO me like
the people were going TO compel legisla-
lures to give them the individual liberty
as laid down by the Constitution.
THE news all around is the most graft
tying ever received by racing people. It
Is more gratifying 10 many than the win
ming OF large amount of money, or cap
turing the best prize on the American
turf. I do not believe there was ever a
measure before the public of one State
that interested the people OF the entire
country, and which probably will have
some effect on coming legislation in the
sister States
The action Of the New York legisla-
ture, though contested 10 tie, showed,
in my opinion, that the will OF the people
prevailed through the tTue-blue repre-
sentatives who voted down the idea OF
taking away the rights Of man. The
same sentiment I believe, applies to
Washington and other cities. OF course.
Washington does not have a say in what
is good or bad for them. as other COM
munities, which is deplorable. but the
people, as can be seen by the attendance
at the track the last few days, are for
racing"
