THE NEW ACT ON BETTING-ROV%ES.—Thursday the
new act on betting-houses came into operation, and it
is understood to be the intention of' Government to en-
force the new law. Some projects have been started to
continue betting-lists, such as selling pictures or form-
ing clubs, but when it is known that one-half of the
penalties will go to the informers, the parties will run
great danger if they attempt to evade the statute. Scot-
land is exempted from the act, and should it be neces-
sary, will be added in the next session of Parliament.
The object of the act is not to interfere with horse-raers;
ing, but only to abolish betting-offices,
