It is well known, of course, that quite a number of private individuals are, in the habit of making books among their circle of acquaintancs not only for greyhound, but for all other forms of racing, but this naturally does not affect the issue. The point really comes down to whether the introduction of the professional bookie would be advan-copra exported. tageous or otherwise to Shanghai. In this connection the decision taken by the authorities of Luna Park is of very great importance.
