VOTED AGAINST RACING BILLS, The Percy-Gray and Wilds Measures Both Defeated in the Senate, Rejection of the Former a Com- plete Surprise, a Favorable Canvass Having Been Made, | ‘SENATORS DODGED THE ISSUE. Twelvo Were Not in Their Seats When the Vote Was Taken..ls the Ives Pool Law Operative? (Special to The Evening World.) ALBANY, May 1.—A severe blow was administered to the racing interests of the State this afternoon when the Per- cy-Gray Racing bill was defeated by a vote of 13 to 6, and the Wilds bill, to Tegulate betting and providing penalties for pool-selling and bookmaking, was voted down by a vote of 15 to 2. The result of the vote on both bills was a surprise, as it was contldently expected that both would pass the up- er house with but few dissenting vot The bills have been on the Senate cal- endar for two weeks. They passed the Assembly two weeks ago. The Senate Judiciary Committee amended them Wghtly, and drew a supplemental bill to provide for the distribution of the Btate tax. During the interim between their Passage b¥ the Assembly and the vote ‘on them to-day considerable opposition developed in the Senate on account of the constitutional embargo against bet- ting and also, it is said, because the Pool-room keepers of New York City ‘were working to defeat the bills, beilev- ing that the Ives Pool law would re- main in force. The friends of the bill made a thor- ough canvass of the Senate to determine the chances of the Percy-Gray bill get- ting through, and were confident that there woud be not more than five votes against it. These five Senators were known to be opposed to it for reasons best known to themselves. ‘The bills were on the calendar to-day, but Senator Lexow, who was undecided about supporting them on constitutional grounds, asked Senator Guy, who han- dled them, to permit them to go over until to-morrow. Senator Guy, how- »@Ver, acting on the advice of the friends of the bills, decided to push them and they were called up at 1 o'clock. There were three bills of a sporting character bundled together on the list, The first was that introduced by Mr. Wildes, amending the Penal Code to pre- vent gambling of any sort. There was no debate on the bill, and it was passed by a vote of 20 to L. The vote against ‘Was cast by Senator “Dry Dollar” Bulli- van. Then the Percy-Gray Racing bill was There was no debate on It the roll call began, 1: looked if the bill would go through by a Good majority. It had not progressed far, however, before it became apparent that there had been a change of sentiment on the Dill. This became decided when the name of Senator Pound, of Niagara, was ‘alled, He rose to explain his vote. He tacked the Dill because, he said, It Was Unconstitutional, He Tread the Bec- tion of the Constituion relating to the subject and Jeclared that the bill would Rot be sustained by any court. The ob- jectionable feature of the Dill, he said, Was that betting on race tracks Was permitted when the Constitution clearly Pronibited it. While Senator Pound was speaking Assemblyman Wilds stood behind him ‘and endeavored to explain a feature of e bill that Mr. Pound attacked, The Ria ara Senator turnei on him and said: “Mr, Wilds, are you a member of this body? I have not asked for any in- formation. When I need it I will Mr.Wiides retired from the chamber and the roll-call proceeded, When it started in there were twenty-nine Senators in thelr seats; before it was more than completed half a dozen had left their ats and as many more did not vote. he vote as finally announced was as follow: Yeas — Ahearn, Cantor, Donaldson, Guy, Kilburn, Lamy, McMahon, O'Don. nell, O'Sullivan, Persons, Robertson, Su:- livan, Wol.-13, Nays—Bradley, Coffey, Higgins, Mullin, Owens and Pound—6. hose twelve Senators were not re- corded although they were in thelr seats Wwhon the roll was called, or left after it Degan: Coggeshall, Collins, Parker, Par- sons, Lexow, Raines, Reynolds," Rice, Bmelser, Stapleton, Childs and ‘O'Con- r—12, Os It required 17 votes to pass the biil, and as only 13 Senators had voted for it, it falied of passage by four votes, ‘The announcement of the result of the vote created a sensation. An effort was made to reconsider the vote, but the motion to that effect was voted down, Then the Wilds Anti-Pool Selling bill was taken up and there were quite as Wany dodges as there had been on the F vey-Gray bill, There was no debate @ he bill and’ the roll call proceeded 3 jut explanations of any character. vote as amended wos as follows Bradley, Cantor, Guy, Higgin K Lamy, Lexow, Miller, O'Con- ne Donnell,’ Parker, Parsons, Per- fons, sound, Robertson—15.

A’Queation arises whether the Raines bill, which provides for an increase of the revenue to the State from racing Associations’ receipts. will come up for action.

Friend, of w York, on behalf of Bob Fitasim- mons, to the effect that the Florida Ath- letic Club must pull off the Corbett- Fitzsimmons battle in Florida, were re- peated to Joe Vendig here to-day, Ven- dig laughed, “Mr. Friend's agument won't hold water,” he sald, “I consulted two very gootl lawyers, not being satisfied with a elngle opinion. Both informed me that the Florda Athletic Club had @ right to pull off the fight wherever it pleased, There ts no restriction as to place in the articles, “It Fitzsimmons does not want to fight Corbett, why doesn’t he come right out and say so? I wilj answer Mr. Friend with his own arguments. Take the second paragraph in the agreement which he quotes as follows: “'The contest must take piace before the Florida Athletic Club, of Jackson- ville, Fla,, on a date after July 1, 189% If this paragraph said: “The contest must take place before the Florida Athletic Club in Jacksonville, Fla." then Mr. Friend's stand would be well taken. “Mr, Friend quotes the tenth clause of the article, which reads: ‘If the Flor- {da Athletic ‘Club fails In any way to bring this contest to a successful con- jusion, both men hereby agree to con- st before the club offering the largest urse.’ Now, the Florida Athletic Club was the floating of a small United States flag on the railing at the west end of the bridge and the tooting of the whis- tes of the tugs In the river. Lawson N. Fuller was ambitious to be the first one to drive over the new bridge. He was on hand early with a team of grays. He lingered until 8.20 o'clock, when some one told him that the bridge would not be opened until 10 o'clock, He went away disgustedly, and on returning at the hour named found his place taken by @ man with a dogcart, The latter to surrendered his place to Mr, Puler, When the gates were opened, how- ever, the man in the dogeart took the lead. He was overtaken by William Stooh, who was the first to drive across the new structure. ‘The bridge has been in process of con- struction for three years, It 1s 1,920 feet long and has a 40-foot drive and 10- foot walk The bridge {s a draw and is high enough to admit of the passage of smail steamboats underneath It. b's Dam Bridge ENTIRE MENAGERIE SLAIN. —- Goat, Calf, Mule and Spaniel Lose Their Lives. Killed at the City Pound and Keeper Dohohee Is Happy. As an Instance of stagnation in busi- ness, and in opposition to the Beef Trust's plea that scarcity of cattle on the hoof Is the ouly cause of high prices of meat, John Donohue, Poundmaster to the elty of New York, points to the commercia) conditions that have com- pelled him to slaughter his live stock, consisting of one spaniel, an unkempt mule, vintage of 1862; one respectable Willlam goat, with a little bunch of whiskera on hia chin, and one four- weeks-old calf. ‘They fell into the hands of Pound- master Donohue a week ago. Mr. Dono- hue {8 a thrifty man, and pampered the appetites of the stock with ail the delicactes of the season at the city pound in Arthur avenue, somewhere be- tween ‘Third avenue, ‘One Hundred venth street, and Boston, files." For John Donohue thought he had @ right to suppose that the owners of the stock would be around to claim thelr property and pay the $l-a-day board allowed by the law, and if the animals were not claimed, he could sell them at auction. It all came to an end, however. ‘The seven days prescribed ‘by law closed. No owners claimed the menagerie or avy fraction of it, and John Donohue, who has no aspiraiions to rival Barnum and Batley, gleefully hung out the red flag, always a sign of trouble to some- body, and sat on a junk | le to wait for bidders at the auction. Not a buyer appeared, and from rub- bing his palms together in gleeful an- Uctpation of coming wealth, John Dono- hue, poundmaster, ran through the ue lived up'to all of Its agreements to date, and there Is no reason to suppose | that’ there will be any failure, Jct, present there ls no reason to, be- Neve that the contest will not take place in Florida, but, for certain reasons, 1 gefrain from stating this as a positive act. with an anchor to windy in case of re unfavorable legisiation in Florida.
