A race-meeting may be a" good thing for' the country. It may swell the revenue per medium of the totalizator, and bring shekels to the coffers of the Railway Department. But, after.;ally itiis-voniy a- minor concern compared with the-great primary industries of the Dominion.

It has no justification whatever.
