The gist of the above communica tion is as follows:-

It is commendable that the Shanghai Muncipal Council has taken drastic measures to suppress the "wberis and other forms of gambling. The offenders have been at of the public. But the associa accordingly convicted for the bene- tion is at a loss to understand the reason for the Council's action in permitting greyhound racing.

While the number of races has been curtailed, the courses have suc cessfully evaded the Council's re striction by extending the time of the meeting and increasing the number of races. The number of Chinese frequenting the races has been swelled by those who used to frequent the

His Worship said that the license was not as large as a tobacco pouch. Defendant replied that he did not propose to leave his tobacco pouch at home so that he could carry, the license unless it became too ex- pensive.
