GAMING BILL
No Smooth Run (Special to Argus.) WELLINGTON, .Inly ”9 What transpired in lhe House this afternoon indicates that the Gam:ng Bill is not likely Io receive a smooth passage through the legislature, if if gets through at all. Hon. Air Bollard moved for leave io introduce the Bill, and Labour ai once seized the opportunity to talk to the motion. There was little of ■interest in their arguments, in as much as most of their contentions were obi. but lhe chief interest lay in the very clear evidence that there is hostility to the Bill. Labour, with the assistance of AFr Tsitt, was still in possession of the floor when the House had io adjourn at 5.30, and this meant that, for today the Bill was talked out. No dou'ot AFr Bollard will bring lhe Bill on again, and eventually got it: in, but determined opposition must now be expected.
