the award of days to any applicant and upon payment of the
license fee as above described, the Commission shall issue a
license for the holding of the meeting during the days awarded

been paid, which said license shall be for all purposes in sub-
stitution for that now required by law, and shall contain a
condition that all races or race meetings conducted thereunder
shall be subject to the rules, regulations and conditions from
time to time prescribed by the Commission, and such license
