THE GAMING BILL.
A SBKPKISE. (By Telegraph.—Special Correspondent.! Auckland, November 1. The Gaming Bill has apparently sprung a surprise upon the anti-gam-bling leagues of the Dominion by its failure to prevent bookmating on courses in connection with which'' no totalisator permits 'are issued. : The chairman of the Anti-gambling League said, when interviewed, that the Bill, in , respect to its failure to oust' the bookmaker from all courses, was viewed with great disfavour. The league had been greatly surprised, in view of the resolutions passed in the House, which were to'the effect that the bookmakers must go, to find that the Bill now provided a loophole for them, and enabled them still to ply their calling. The league had been-.confidently assured that ; the'bookmaker was to'be made a thing of the past, that being the tenor of the sentiment of the House at the time, and it relied upon the Government to carry out that' assurance.
