NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-Wbeu the
legislature meets again next month it
is said that another effort will be made
to let down the bars against betting
to the extent of relieving the owners
of tracks of criminal liability for the
doings of bookmakers.
Already 1917 horses have been en-
tered for the fall meeting at Mont
real. This is far in advance Of any
superior to that Of last spring, which
was the most successful meeting of the
club.
Three of the eight fixtures are for
Canadian horses. One of these is for
the derby cup, which is over a dis
tance of one and three quarters miles
This was won a year ago by Joseph e.
Seagram IS Cruche d Or, who is named
again this season.
The other two for Canadian horses
are for province breds, one being the
Kings Plate, which has An added val.
ue of $1,000. In this there are eight
named, all Of which are now being
given careful preparation at the Blue
Bonnets course.
The open events have attracted the
best horses now racing and will see
many newcomers The two events
through the steeplechase field have
filed better than in previous years
and there will be no scarcity of leap
ers here this fall. The Heudrie Me-
mortal, which will see the first running
as a stake event. has attracted twenty
six. In this event last season only half
steeplechase has an entry Of thirty
one.
There are 100 horses at Blue Bon
nets. including the locally owned ones,
and the good condition of the track
makes possible steady training for the
coming season.
