GREYHOUND RACING
METHODIST SYNOD PROTEST (Special to the Jlerald.i AUCKLAND, this day. The Methodist Synud expressed itself this morning on the subject of mechanical hare racing. * The Rev. A. B. Chappell intimated that in conformity with the views expressed by the Ministers' Association in Auckland, and with the concurrence of the district Young Men's Bible Class Union, ho desired to move a resolution which would doubtless be eo acceptable to the synod as not to call for a debate. He moved-: " That, believing wholesome recreation to have a high value for life and to bo essential to the adequate development of young people, the synod is impressed with the duty of guarding pastimes from . invasion.'? of spurious sport and facilities for gambling, and therefore views with concern the efforts being made to introduce into the Dominion greyhound coursing with mechanical hares, and deprecates the part being taken in these efforts by some men in prominent public positions." The resolution was carried unanimously.
