Show movements depend for their success upon up-on the condition of public ttcntiiiient, ami it is as creditable to the hardy Tin-tic Tin-tic miner a it is phenomenal that the sentiment of that community should bo so pronounced. Tiik Timks would I irijtrcss the fart upon the business community that its circulation in the city of Salt Lake is as large as that of any other paper, and that it is second to none as an advertising adver-tising medium. Somkosk proposes that the reporters shall be included in the list of those prohibited from belting on horse races. It is held that they cannot make impartial im-partial reports when they are linancial-ly linancial-ly interested. It might be a blessing to them if I hey were debarred from putting put-ting their money in the pool boxes; Imt the reform would ccrtaiuly be followed by a decline in the sport. There are very lewr people whoso interest in horse races is purely in watching the trials of speed, die attendance at turf events be-maintained be-maintained to a large e.lent through the pool boxes. That influence is. perhaps, per-haps, indirect, but if the reportoriat interest in-terest in that feature of the proceedings were cut oil, the narratives that do so much to advorlise and popularize the track would lose their brilliance and the grand stand would lose n large part of its business. Tho betting feature fea-ture is bad, bad without a redeeming line, but the track manager who would deny to the reporter tho privilege of squandering his earnings would find that lie had made a disastrous rule. |
