TATTERSALL'S.
A vigorous denunciation of all forms of gambling followed the reading of the report of the Committee of Good Citizenship and for the Prevention of crime at the sitting of the Victorian Methodist Conference. A motion hostile to the totalisator, and urging the suppression of registered bookmakers, was carried. Kev. J. Worrall declared that Tattersall's had become an overwhelming monopoly in Tasmania, possessing power to depose men, and Tasmania was largely resting upon rotten foundations, because of its outrageous influence. Rev. F. Lade said that the Hobart people writhed under the power of Tattersall's. Mr Jonathan 'Best, of Tasmania, pointed out that I the House of Assembly had set its J face against Tattersall's as soon as I the question was raised in the House.
