track gambling bills, informed him
that those interested in the effort to
kill the measures met at Delmonico's
shortly before they were to be acted
upon by the legislature and formu-
lated plans by which it was hoped to
defeat them; that at this meeting
100000 fund was subscribed for
that purpose, and that, besides Mr..
Keene, Mr.. Whitney and City Cham
berlain, Hyde, the gathering was at
tended by a Mr.. Parsons, represent
tative of the bookmakers; Eugene
Wood, a lobbyist at Albany, and Da-
vid Mitchell.

$500, 900 fund in behalf of his father
in-law, William Engeman, then presi-
dent of the Brighton Beach Racing
