KENTUCKY BREEDERS ALERT AND ACTING. Lexington. Ky., March 11. — A big delegation of breeders and horsemen will go to Frankfort tomorrow to urge the house of representatives to follow the action of the senate last week and pass the 1 Hiitl iKXilroom MIL which was drafted by Senator U. A. Burnam, former chief justice of the court of appeals. The delegation will be headed by Colonel E. F. Clay, Colonel Milton Young, both members of the State Racing Commission; Major F. A. Daingertield, the manager of James R. Keenes Castleton Stud; president R. C. Stoll and secretary Horace W. Wilson of the Kentucky Trotting Horse ! Breeder Association, and with them will be some fifty or sixty breeders of thoroughbreds and trotters. There is scarcely any doubt here that the bill will be passed, and it is a certainty that if it is passed Governor Wilson will sign it. But. since the action of the senate in passing it by such an 1 overwhelming majority, the poolroom interests have been very active at Frankfort, and for this reason 1 the breeders feel that they should be on the ground I tomorrow. A similar bill was before the legislature two years ago, but it was "lost." and it is an open secret hereabouts that it was lost for a price. The breeders propose to see that this bill is not •lost."
