DERBY SWEEPS.

To the Editor. Sin, —The other day a letter appeared in your columns show ing that to the initiated there : s a royal road to money. A man of resources deliberately breaks the law, and by so doing in three weeks, without the outlay of a cent, manages to clear L3OO, besides the trifle that may be supposed legitimately to accrue to himself in the way of refreshers for his kindness in allowing a crowd of people to monopolise his house in his efforts to oblige them. Added to this, with a confidence worthy of the occasion, he is allowed the use of from LI to L 3.000 for from a week to a month, which, seeing the kindly invitations of the bankers to any that have sui plus cash, I should imagine would not be held by his banker to be an objection to continuinghis account. Or this occasion we havenotbeenhimored with the namesofthewiuners, Could they be the clerics of Dunedin, in whose welfare the worthy R.M. tikes so fatherly an interest? Perhaps so, and for that very reason we have not been allowed to congratulate them. But should such be the ease we ought before now to have heard of new firms striking out. With a capital o| LSOO, a roan ought to do wonders, when out of nothing genius extracts L3OO in three weeks. One does not want old Babbage’s machine to calculate that. Let us admire the worthy Boniface, not only for his kindness in getting up the affair, but as an example. Mr Yogel, with boundless security, is obliged by monied people. His financial talents have hot yes veagjjed getting gold out of nothing,-I amj &C-. Old Scratch. Punedin, April 24.
