PARIS, July 1G— So many queer

since the opening of the racing* sea
son that Huron Maurice de Rothschild,
himself one of the largest owners in
France as well as deputy for Pau, has
brought the matter to the attention of
the French Chamber.
Huron de Rothschild has asked the
Chamber to pass a law for the sup

largest cities in Fiance, the books to
be replaced by Puri-mutual Booths in

The French government receives
ten per cent on all moneys taken in at
the pari-mutual booths at the various
trucks. A.> the amounts hot at the dif- i
ferent tracks vary from a,000,000 to
10.000.000 francs ilailv the French
l
government derives from the racing
industry a revenue of between f»00,-1
000 and 1.000.000 francs per day.
Baron de Rothschild said in the
French Chamber that more money
was hot with the books operating in
Paris each day than at the tracks; es
timating that 10.000,000 francs per
| day were wagered in the city alone.
This is a net loss of 1,000.000 francs
a clay for the government. He charged
that several races had been run with
such flagrant evidence of crookedness
that had such racing been attempted
in Knglaud or America, the owners,
trainers or jockeys would have been
ruled off the turf for life.
It has been alleged that the book
makers gather in all the city money
in the foicnoon, no bet being accepted
under circumstances after one o’clock.
This gives them ample time to journey
to the race track and, if they find that
they are overloaded on any one horse
and stand to lose too much, to use a
little persuasion on the jockey pilot
ing the animal.
Jockey Hrethet has just been ruled
off for life. He was up on Xizanie II.
an overwhelming favorite with the
public. He did not finish in the money
and his bad riding was so evident, (he
was an apprentice jokey, not an ex
pert in the gentle art of pulling a
horse) that the judges summoned him
int<» the stand. He promptly admitted
having pulled the horse but claimed
not to be acquainted with the men who
had made it worth his while to lose

This is one instance out of many
which Huron de Rothschild says kill

suppression of hookmaking in Paris.
