The racing, interests were ably represented and seemed to have the liest of it in the arguments. The agricultural interests were strong in opposition to t lie measures which would take away the five per cent, tax on gate receipts. It is ant bettered that the bills will go to a vote, at least not without amendments favorable to the racing interests.
