. i , AMENDMENTS TO GAMING BILL. By Telegraph —Press Associat'd*.. AUCKLAND, July 29. There seems to be a general imprest bion amongst racing enthusiasts that • the proposed publication of dividends in Dominion newspapers and the telegraphing of money to racecourse:; will be favourably consideied by Parliament. r The Hon. A. P. de Ja Perrella to-day ; said Sir Geo. Hunter had already introduced a Bill covering these concessions. , “I can’t say, of course, what Parlia- , ment will do, but from the feeling in ; the House to-day the measure is cer- . tain to be given serious consideration. , :In regard to the publication of dividends, a gentleman shewed me (Mr de i la Perrelle) this morning a copy of a Sydney paper containing the dividends ; of one of New Zealand’s principal meetI ings.” J He remarked that if these papers can come in with the information, why shouldn’t our papers publish it? } Regarding the general political situation, Mr de la Perrelle said Sir Joseph Ward is showing his old form in dealing with many matters of Dominion importance. “The very test is being done, and it is pleasing to know that the people red cognise it. Great headway is being ~ made,” concluded the Minister. e 1 f MERRY MINT SCRATCHED. t 3 By telegraph—Press Association. ii ! CHRISTCHURCH.
