THE PASSION FOR GAMBLING.
BETTING SHоrs:-
THEIR CONVERSION TO CLUBS.
There are known to the police to-day in Sydney 25 balting shops. Eighteen months age the number was greater by probably a dozen, but the activity of Inspector Sharwood and his officers brought about the reduction. During the period mentioned close upon £3,000 has been paid in fines by the shop proprietors while one man received at the hands of a magis»
trate three months' imprisonment without the option. The last crusade of the police was responsible for a pause on the part of the layers of odds, who sought legal advice, achomed in company with their lawyers, and brought forth club.. How far this helps. them to evade the law has been the subject of oma consideration at the Crown Law Office, and the prevailing opinion is that the move only increases the difficulty of the police in getting evidence to support a case, and that, so far from being clubs, in the general accept. ation of the word, they are merely an extra precaution to ensure no bets being made with police agents.
**Members” of these so-called clubs are comes
A special feature is made of fuit and accurprised of the former clientele of the betting shop proprietors. They are accorded the pri" vilege of betting as usual upon paying a sub- scription of 58 per annum, or, it may be, 25. They can mostly have a run for their subscrip tion, and it is a pretty sure thing that most of those enrolled on the books of the clubs paid their subscriptions in the way of placing the is on a horse. It was found convenient for "members" to be given badges in order that the men at the door might satisfy himself when his memory failed him as to a face. The 'badges are of various designing. One club has adopted a metal past; it takes the form of a monogram. Others are not so elaborate, but as a check are just as effective. Some of the betting club, also have resorted to badges. One before the writer is a piece of leather, with the word "Confidence" chantely printed on its surface.
The Hongkong Telegraph is the best medium for advertising in China. It circulates largely aniong all classes of the community, in the largest daily newspaper and has a
wider circulation than any journal in the Far
East.

In addition to generally affording to members the privileges and conveniences of a club," it, is hoped to "encourage the social intercourse, and entertainment of members; also, to pro- mote and encourage all forms of indoor and outdoor sport, and to expend the money of the company in promoting and encouraging such sport in any manner which directors may think fit" A governing director is appointed, and the purchase of liquor is provided for, as is the provisioning and furnishing of bars.
