The Rights and Wrong of Bet ting.

The Select Committee of the House o! Lords on Betting mot on February 17th; Yiaooonfc Peel, in the absence j of the Earl of Durham, presided ! Dr Wood, headmaster of Harrow, gave evidence with regard to the ex liteooe of betting in schools. In reply ' to the chairman, Dr Wood said betting took place in the school to a very small txtsnt, and punishment wag promptly dealt oat when oases came under bia notice* The boya who, he found, made bets were those whose parents or friends made bets, icd who took boya fo race meetings, j The Chairman-—Yoa say it is home Influence ?—Witness—Yes, and (f ©ourse any influence the school aothori*■ lies might have is nullified by the Motion of the relatives or friends. However, I think that betting has decreased in extent in schools, owing to the more strenuous and busy lives ; that boys Hyp. It seems to be mainly confined to house sweepstakes on the Grand National and Derby. Ihe Chairman-—And you object to to that ?—Witness — Most certainly I do. Continuing, Dr Wood said he found very few touts in England who endeavoured to induce the boys to bet. The betting circulars the boya received came mostly from Germany. Mir Fredrick William Spruce, a commission agent, of Leeds, was next called. First speaking on the subject ©I gl starting pricei," he said it would not be possible to stop starting price betting unless rasing was abolished. Th® Chairman—-You do not think it possible or desirable to stop it ? Witness—Nob unless yoa do away with racing!

The Chairman—And as to street betting, do you think anything could be done to remedy it ? '■• Witness— Ym, I do, by giving a I licenie to the bookmaker, and by placing 11 high fee on the lioenße—a fairly bigb bat not prohibitive price. Wiinees §sid hie idea wbb that it wcrald reduce Ibe number of persons having »license. The Ohainnso—He (the m*n who held the license) woald be under Ibp inpervieion of the State ; it would give him i position ? Witness—Yep 9 certainly ? The Chairman—Then how would job select your man ? Wltnoea—Well,ianotthat s matter for too Stite to determine in the sam« Wty tb»t selection is made as to public— hoaee license holders ? Witness (con. fiaaing) said, with regard to betting places, th«y should not even be confined to ft racecourse gonernUy, but to a ring specially arranged for bookmaker?. As to newspapers' tipe on the races, h< believed that they did no harm so ftr as the tips given in the better class papers were concerned. So far as betting; circulars wra concerned, ha knew little ■boot them, bat expressed the opinion that tfary raost'y camnfrom abroid, and j tjhat in the main they wese sent to public , eohools, L rd Aberdeen—Youfop'mon is that belting will net In etopped so long ac ; horae racing eontintses ? | Witopsa—-Tl at ig my opinion, j In reply to the Bißhop of Hereford, witness said he represented the Leeds and Bradford Association of Book m»kpp*. Ho did not believe any bookmaker woa'd take money for bets from and on behalf <f thUiireo, In the Leeds Association it was an andersUnd ing amooggt the members not to do anch a tbing. MrJ.moe Satters, secretary oHhe Oommisßion Agents' Guarantee Associa tion, paid he dpsirsd to refute a state ment made by Mr Oawke, secretary of the Anti-Gambling Leagrje, that » bookmaker stood ontsiflo St Giles' Parish Cbarch, and taok copper bets from boys, He hud made inquiries, and contended that the statement was a a tree.

It makes the hair grow thick and long and stops it falling out. When your hair is rich and heavy, and when the closest inspection fails to detect a single gray hair, you will cer- i tainly look a great deal younger, and you will be much better satisfied with yourself, too.
