Horse Racing Illegal l25
Years Ago
Records here disclose that one
hundred and twenty-siX years ago
there was a statute which prohibited
horse racing. Jesse Passwaters. he
lieved to have been 1t resident Of
Bridgeville, was convicted in the
Court of General Sessions here on
the charge and was sentenced on
November 20, 1912. to pay fine and
costs amounting to $2G.G0, which he I
did There is no mention of where (
the 0ffense was committed. Since
there were but few highways in .
those days, Passwaiers' horse racing
must have taken place on the old
stage coach route in that section.

home and furnishings of Edgar

of dollars. The fire is believed to ,
have been caused by an Overheated

Millsboro firemen responded to call !
but were unable to do anything be- i
cause the blaze had gained too much
headway. o.. ..- 3
