York Juno 11 The AgnewIIart antiracing bills were passed at Albany today by a vote of lit to 25 The vote was practically the same as that in the regular session on the memorable eighth of April when the bills failed of passage by a tie vote of 25 to 25 but since then Senator Wallace of TSIsigara Tails has been elected to the seat then vacant by reason of the death of Senator Franchot and his vote made the necessary twentysixth twentysixthShortly Shortly after the passage of the bills Governor Hughes flllised his signature The Mils are to be enforced at once and the thief executive has de ¬ clared that they will be enforced The vote was Ayes Agnew Allds Armstrong Carpenter Cobb Cordts Davis Dunne Fancher Foelkcr Fuller Gates Heacock Hill Hinman Hooker ONeill Page Raines Saxc Smith Taylor

signedThere it will take effect as soon as it is signed There is some dispute as to this but the prevail ¬ ing opinion among the lawyers of the state is that tliu bills will at once become operative As the governor signed tooth of the bills this afternoon this will mean that there must be a hurried change in the manner of conducting race tracks It is IHhsilile that an injunction may ibe obtained until the constitutionality of the law is fought out in the courts One of the grounds for such an injunc ¬ tion KUggesled here is that the bill provides a cruel Jind unusual punishment ss compared with the crime committed which would be in contravention with the constltntion constltntionlames lames It Keenc vicepresident of the Jockey Club who perhaps has a larger interest in horse racing thair any other man in the United States knew the result of the vote on the racing bills almost as soon as it was announced in the senate chamber at Albany Mr Kcene had fought the bills JniUi in person at Albany and through the influence that lie could wield taking the ground that the measures would destroy a stockbreeding in ¬ dustry worth 50000KX Do you think the passage of the bills will mean the absolute stopping of races in this state Mr Keenc was asked in his oflice 30 Broad street this afternoon I have not one word to say in com ¬ ment he answered answeredDespite Despite his reticence Mr Keenc plainly showed his disappointment at the result of the senate vote At voteAt his otlice 1n the Mills building Mr Haggin was asked for his view of the effect of the passage of the antiracing legislation Do you think the people will attend the races if they cannot bet he was asked I do not was his answer I think they will not go to the tracks Certainly all those women who till the grandstand wont go If they have to pay U or 3 and then have no chance to get their money back Mr Haggin added that he w is much surprised at the passage of the bills by the senate There senateThere was considerable gloom at Gravesend as a lesnlt of the passing of the antiracing bills at Al ¬ bany and less interest was taken in the card offered than has been usual Perhaps the feature of the afternoon was the victory of II B Duryeas good mare Hnnning Water She is In the Suburban under 115 pounds and her performance this afternoon sug ¬ gests that she is lit and ready for that great event No matter what action is taken as a result of the passage of the bills the stakes of the Coney Island Jockey Club will be run off while the other asso ¬ ciations have announced that they will fulfill their stake engagements whether there be betting or not The notThe Greater New York Steeplechase resulted in a cantering victory for Alfar but if Bayonet had not made a bad landing and lost his rider
