LONG TACK SAM.

· MAGIC AND ACROBATICS

If you have not seen Long Tack Sam, go to-night. It is an enter- tainment such as you will not often have the chance to see and one which can be enjoyed over and over again.

Mr. Wallace, in his defence, raised the important point now to be decided that if there were a contract, it was by way of gaming or wagering within the provisions of the Gaming Act and was void and unenforceable.

The Hon. Geofrey Lawrence, K.C., for the Jockey Club, sid thas under the Gaming Act of 1845 the payment of entrance monty and forfeits in the event of a horse not running were. recognised Con- sequently the plen set up by Mr. Wallace that it was gaming and wagering did not apply.
