T., April 4.WhIle the supporters ot the Agnew-Hart anti-race gambling bills are ezpress- ! lng emphatlo opinions ' today that , these measures will be taken up and ' passed next Wednesday, It is plain they are by no means easy over the five days' respite won by the race track Interests. They have heard the rumors of a million' for defense ; of the race track betting ring, 'the . race track men are Jubilant. They ' see great possibilities In the five days. They know that only three senators stand between them and the death of the bills which. If passed, will sound tbe death-knell of the betting ring In this state. Both sides are watching each other like cats. The faove are marked. The situation Is a tense one. Never in the history of legislation In this state has there been a crisis where the sonate has taken sides' with such grim determination as in this case. The turf men know, and so do the men opposing them, that $1,000, 000 would be a cheap price to pay for victory for the racing interests, betting ring In this straggle. In proof of this is the enormous profit made at the various tracks of this state last season. At Sheepshead Bay alone the profits of the season amounted to $1,080,207, while the combined profits ot the 10 racing associations of the state reached the grand total of $4,028,583. Five of the tracks of the state- made more than $500,000 each In the season of 1907. The combined value of the racing tracks of the state is placed at $14,300,000. If the anti-racing bills pass, this value1 will shrink to the nominal value of the land ai real estate, and this means it,s lvalue will decrease by mlllons. Not only this, but there is the racing etock worth millions, owned by such men as James K. Keene, Harry Payne Whitney and others. Despite the-1 fact that the horses represent the finest strain of racing blood in the world, their value would decrease vastly If gambling at the tracks were stopped. mm fl(0)fc FOR MEN AND .
