delicate means of conveying our share

occasion are offered for sale at many
places; these are not so much in de-
mand now as those which are spec

BREED OF HORSES TO BE IMPROVED

bookmakers is plea that has aroused
the scorn OF one racing centre after an
other in the United States.
Other cities than our own have made
successful campaigns for the discontinu-
ance OF the activities Of the "bookies

communities more harm than good.
Gradually this sort of licensed public
gambling has been driven from one last
ditch 10 another. II is practically out

has tended TO prove what was alleged
| then-that il could not exist without tho
bettors. that is. tho professional gam
blers. who would lie awake on Sunday
night to cheat each other on Monday.
Despite the gamblers losses he returns
again and again, and this fact carries

mechanism. Their nights are restless
and feverish. succeeding days OF "maun-

The Court Of Appeals has yet TO con-
firm this decision, which rules that race
track owners and trustees cannot be held
liable for oral betting on their tracks.
There will be no betting rings, as for
merly where the odds were posted on
boards that all might see and where the
members of the Metropolitan Turf Asso-
citation took wagers for any amount.

study OF such buildings as that OF the

is compatible with living therein 1t should
be kept as 1t originally was. The stately
