GOING TO THE DOGS.
CHINESE STOPPED. SHANGHAI,' September 12. Following a long campaign against various forms of gambling, resulting in the closing of roulette-wheels, the Chinese agitation succeeded in delivering a severe blow to the three greyhound racing tracks here, where many Australian dogs compete. The Nanking Government lias issued orders to the Customs Department fhat in future the importation of greyhounds is to bo banned. The companies operating the tracks say that the move is unlikely severely to hamper their activities, in view of the fact that well over 1000 hounds are in Shanghai. Onethird of this number comprises bitches, most of which will be quickly put to breeding.
