NEW YORK, May l2.-Horse rae
ing on its own merits, racing for ex-
citement and sport and with book
making eliminated, will have its try
out on the Metropolitan circuit to-
morrow with the opening OF the 1909
turf season at Belmont Park. There
will be oral betting, as the legality Of
this method of making wagers, has
been sustained by the appellate divis-
ion of the supreme court, but in order
to keep within the law or recording
of wagers will be permitted.
Adopting every means for increas-
ing the receipts which feel off as a
result Of an adverse suit on the anti
betting legislation, the old admission
fee OF three dollars has been resorted,
but indications are, that with fair
weather, the inaugural tomorrow will
be witnessed by 10000 persons, AS IN
former years the Metropolitan handi-
cap has been the chief feature, albe-
it, reduced in value from $4,000 TO
$1,000. Notwithstanding this there are
IA entries for the event which ranks
well with entry lists OF days gone by.
