WORKERS BUY GREYHOUNDS.

LATEST PHASE IN DOG RACING.

"The main idea that has enter ed the minds of so many people is that greyhound racing was start- ed with the view of being an 'animated roulette board,' and that the foundation of the sport is bot- ting."

ì

Sir William Joynson-Hicks, the Home Secretary, made this" ob- servation when replying to a de- putation representing the Na- tional Greyhound Society and the National Greyhound Racing Club, which put before him their views on the Dog Racing Bill now before the House of Commons. The object of the Bill is to provide for the licensing of greyhound tracks by local authorities,

Lord "Askwith, who headed the deputation, denied that there was An enormous namber-175-01 tracks throughout the country, There were, he said, about 40 nc- tually running or starting.

"If the 'tote' is brought in with regard to horse racing," Lord Askwith said, "It may be desir- able at a later data to consider whether it would be advisable to apply it to greyhound racing, and our own iden is that it would be a good thing."

A good many working and mid- dle-class people were co-operating to buy dogs and race them. Thoy could not afford to buy racehorses.

The Home Secretary, in his reply, anid: "You have asked me to investigate questions of dis order. I have Already done that, and at the proper time 1 shall be prepared to tell the House what the reports of the police through- out the country show on th's mat- ter."

Sir William said that he did not suggest that in the big contrea of greyhound racing there was any disorder on the course.
