The act creating the State Racing
Commission was drawn as a result of
a meeting held in our Office in the old
Herald building, and as we recall at
tended by Thos. G. Mcdowell, Catesby
Woodford, Johnson N. Camden, Charles
McMeekin, Jouett Shouse, then editor
Of the Kentucky Farmer and Breeder,
and Hal P. Headley. No man con-
nected with Churchill Downs was in
vited to the meeting nor advised Of its
purpose. John L. Shelby and John R.
Allen were engaged to draw the act
which was supported by all the breed
ers of the State, and passed by a prac-
tically unanimous vote Of both houses
of the Legislature.
The purpose of the act was to pre-
vent a continuation of such conditions
as were incident to the ownership of
race tracks by Mr.. Bruce's clients. II
provided:
~The said commission shall have the
power to prescribe the rules, regula-
tious and conditions under which run
ming races shall be couAucted in this
State"
Celia, TILES and Adler had control
Of the 1atonia track and Of Douglas
Park. Regardless Of the interests of
racing, they had purchased Douglas
Park and revealed their purpose to
have conflicting oates with Churchill
Downs and to condtct long meetings,
a. they did In Missouri. Mr.. Bruce
apparently attempts to put the basis
Of the salt In which he tried to have
the Stxte Racing Commission declared
unconstitutional on the ground that
the State Racing Commission was
created to kill Douglas Park.
We avow that it was the desire OF
all the men connected with the move
meut to have a State Racing Commits
sion to remedy such conditions as
existed at every track under the con-
troll of Mr.. Bruces clients. We were
then-as we are now-oppOsed tn
bucket-shop bookmaking combination
controlling race tracks In Ken
tueky; we were opposed then, as we
are now, to a syndicate book robbing
the public and framing up races.
1t is provided in the act that Mr.,
Bruce's clients tried to have declared
unconstitutional:
Provided, That q refusal Of the
commission to grant any racing $3.50
citation q license or to assign any rae
ing association at least forty days, if
desired, shall be subject to the review
of the courts of the State"
But Celia. TILES and Adler were
not satisfied with this provision. They
wanted the whole act declared uncOn-
stitutional, for that act-though Ii
may not be known TO Mr.. Bruce. who
knows so little. as rsveaaed in his COM
municarcn today-provides
Said commission shall have tbs
power to prescribe the rules, reguia-
items and conditions undsr which run
lining races shall be conducted In this
State.
Under that provision the State Rec

they might run race tracks in Ken

solely for the benefit Of the syndicate
book? Not interested in protecting
the breeding interests? What Is Ar
Bruce's real interest?
His letter reveals, according to his
own statements, that Mr.. Bruce has
never been interested enough to a.
certain even the most widely known
facts in regard to racing and that
he knows no more about 1t now than
he knew when he was the attorney
for Douglas Park and the bucket-shop
bookmaking aggregation that owned It
80
Why is Mr.. Bruce giving his time
and his high ability and great repu'
tatioE and his money to this fight to
have repealed the provision in the
Kentucky statutes that was passed
April 9Th, 1893, years before he ap-
peared as the attorney for the Douglas
Park Jockey Club? He did not then
attempt to have that section of the
statutes repealed. The act creating
the State Racing Commission was
passed in 1906. The provision under
which pari-mutuels are permitted was
passed in 1893, thirteen years before
that. During those years the boob
makers operated as unmolested on the
race tracks as they now operate in
Louisville and will again operate on
the race tracks if Mr.. Bruce succeeds
in his present efforts.
Every man familiar with racing
knows that racing has been cleaner
azd ON higher plane that the stakes
and purses are four or Eve hundred
