THE POLICE AND BOOKMAKERS.
Sir, —The police are voir busy hunting Chinese gamblerß. The public are watching them, and with amusement. Tho bookmakers are thick in our streets laying "fcoto" odds. No ono t-akos notice of them; their ; 31cgal "business" goes on as before. A short tinio ago the jiolice proscciited some "rat" or small ■odds layers," but the big follows were left alone. The police seem to know "who is. who," but what are they doing to stop this ope.ri betting? Bookmakers, spielers, and spongers still black our streets. They can do what they like, but heaven help some sillv useless fool who breaks some paltry by-law. There •'s law for nil classes, well mixed' if wanted'.—l am, etc., "NICK CARTER."
