great importance, and there are now

steam saw mills and eight turpentine
stills.

one of the most independent and pros

SCENE AFTER THE RACE.
THE ARISTOCRATIC GAMBLERS.
Report by the Canterbury Convocation-
What Led to the Raid.

The action of the police in the matter of club
gambling in London has stirred the usually
apathetic English clergy into activity COM
mittee of the lower house of the Canterbury
convocation has submitted an exhaustive re-
port on the evils of gambling. accompanied by
a profusion of suggestions the adoption of
which would tend to the ultimate suppression
of the vicious practice. Chief among these
suggestions is one showing what great strides
could be made toward the happy result aimed
at if the nobility would take sufficient interest
in the welfare of their interiors III rank to set
the needed example.
This suggestion is amusing. in view of the
circumstances leading to the raids on the Adel-
phi and Field clubs Sunday morning. The
eldest son of one of the cabinet minister's re-
Gently confessed to his habit of gambling at his
club, the result of his venture being that be-
sides losing all his ready cash fellow members
of the club held his notes for the aggregate sum
of f2O, 900. These notes have become due. and
the young man besought his father to pay them
in order to save his honor. The parent yielded
to his sons entreaties and paid the notes He
then took the matter in hand on his own ac-
count and ordered the police to suppress the
games at the clubs his son had indicated as the
ones in which he had lost his money
The result was that many of the Young mans
intimate friends were arrested and they are
naturally very bitter i'll their Characterization
