BETTING AND POLITICS.
An English cable to the “Sydney Sun’’ of March 12th reads: —In the House of Lords yesterday Lord Newton moved the second reading of the Eetting Ind rcements Bill, which seeks to abolish bookmakers’ circulars and the operations of tipsters. The mover plainly showed that he was not an enemy of horse-racing, because he said that he would advise any young man desiring to exercise the greatest influence to buy racehorses. Lord Rosebery owed a great deal of his high position and influence to the fact that he had won three Derbies, and if Mr. Balfouir had possessed a few selling platers he would not have been driven from the Conservative leadership. The Bill, he added, did not interfere with bookmakers’ advertisements or with newspaper tipping- The motion was carrisd unopposed. ,
