Xeither Mr. Bowman nor Mr. Judkins could be reached yesterday to deny or confirm the Christian Pass report. The hotel property there has been under the control of Bowman management for several months. It is said that a large tract of land has been purchased on which to construct the new race track and a magnificent casino. Christian Pass is ten miles west of Gulfport and about twenty miles by road from Biloxi.
