HUMOUR IN COURT.
Y.M.C.A. AND RACING. PRESIDENT'S PREDICAMENT. LIST OF UNDESIRABLES. (By Telegraph.—Fress Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. A picture of Mr. J. L. Hay, national president of the Young Men's Christian Association, as one who might ho included in tho list of undesirables whose presence is forbidden on racecourses created amusement in tho Magistrate's Court yesterday.
Mr. Hay was concerned in a case against Hays, Ltd., of which he is the managing director, for an alleged breach of the Gaming Act by conducting a letter writing competition with a motor car as prize.
Mr. C. S. Thomas, appearing for tho firm, when referring to the consequences if a conviction were entered, remarked jocularly, "There is one serious aspect. It would be a terrible thing to find the national president of the Y.M.C.A. stopped in future from going on a racecourse."
Mr. E. D. Mosley, S.M.: It might ■trouble you or mc, Mr. Thomas, but I don't think it will trouble him.
