(United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright 'i TIN HARE RACING. SYDNEY, June 5. In an appeal to the Full Court by a sergeant of police against tbe decision of a magistrate, who refused to convict a man for betting at a mechanical bare meeting, the Full Court held that the mechanical hare sport was not coursing within the meaning of the Gaining and Betting Act, and that a live animal was essential in real coursing, pursued by a brace of greyboumls. Tbe magistrate’s decision was eroneous, and betting at mechanical bare race meetings was illegal.
IDLE SHIPS. SYDNEY, June G. It is anticipated that there will be eighty ships idle within the next seven days, when the cooks at all ports give notice. The shipowners are now seriously considering the engaging of volunteer c-ooks, butS in view of tbe certainty that if this is done, the strike will be extended to all the other transport Unions, they hesitate to take such extreme action. SYDNEY. June G. The steamer Kamo, on the Tasmanian service, is tbe latest ship to be involved in tbe cooks’ strike, tbe cooks on board having given twentyfour hours notice.
