GAMING AMENDMENT BILL
'SECOND READING PBOBABLE. (From Ocb Own Conßssroronrr.) WELLINGTON, October 10. The Gaming Act Amendment Bill, introduced by Mr G. Hunter, M.P., to provide 30 additional racing days for small racing. dubs, limit clubs, and trotting clubs, will probably come up for second reading in tho House on Moudav, October 20.
The general opinion seems to bo that the measure has a good chance of getting' through the sccona-reading stage on a division, As a private Bill it cannot go further at this period of the session, but it is thought not unlikly that if the division goes as it' is expected to go the Government may take up the Bill, lie repeated representations of tho country clubs which were wiped out by tho Racing Commission have undoubtedly made some impression upon members, and it is quite probable that these bodies will bo granted some measure of redress.
