THE AMENDED GAMING BILL.
Sir,—ln accordance with the policy of the many anti-league societies with which this country stems cursed, why not ask our Parliament of "Asquiths" to make it law that anyone racing ■ the thoroughbred shall be hanged by the neck until he is dead, and anybody found drinking a glass of beer or playing that most beautiful of all indoor games, billiards, shall be boiled in oil. God's Own Country would then be freed of these dreadful evils, much to the amused laughter of the larger and broader-minded of the other portions of the Empire. Our special and very own Parliament could then, proceed to make further ■ quaint laws till every shred of freedom was filched from the people. The oomplacent New. Zealander would still smile, and continue to believe that tills was "God's Own Coantry."—l am.-, etc.-, OBSERVER.
