horse racing In Louisiana has now
been crystallzed into an organized
movement to bring the question Of race
track betting up before the next leg
islature in the coming spring.
Both the City Park and the Far
Grounds race tracks here are being
turned into building lots, as Il was
once reported would be their fate.
This seems to add strength 10 the
current belief that a vigorous effort
will be made for the revival of the
racing game in this state.
