GAMBLING IN BALLARAT.
TifE Ballarat Evening Mail, says;—lt is pretty generally known that despite the dulnes of the times the city of Ballarat can support about a score or so of gambling hi uses, and Ballarat East also a very fair share of these "hells" It is understood chat of these city gambling licensed houses, some six are reputed first class hotels; added to this we may mention that among the gamblers are young gentlemen holding positions involving trust and responsibility, and that the subject has been given some consideration, on the part of the powers that be, to take —in the event of other steps failing—such action as will acquaint the community at large with the names and positions of men who nightly waste energy and respectability, to say nothing of money not all their own, in some cases, over the green cloth of the accursed gambling hells. Hotel-keepers may lose little by the exposure, but office gentlemen will lose all —their situations.
