EASY MONEY
YOUNG AUSTRALIA’S AMBITION. CONAN DOYLE’S IMPRESSIONS. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, September 13. Sir Arthur Oonan Doyle’s book, ‘ Wanderings of a Spiritualist,’ published to-day, deals chiefly with his visit to Australia. Ho states that Australians in some ways are “ more English than tho English. They have kept to the old type, while we have been imperceptibly Americanised. Tho Australians aro less ready to show "emotion, aro more restrained in their applause, more devoted to personal liberty, keener in sport, and quieter in expression.” Sir Conan Doyle declares that drink and hoxeo v racing are Australia’s two curses. He was shocked and astonished by the number of young men of decent exterior to bo eeen staggering down tho street, often quite early in the day. He adds : ■' Horse racing is the real drag on the country’s progress. Everyone is bent upon winning easy money, and this makes them dissatisfied with money earned.”—A, and N.Z. Cable.
