INVETERATE GAMBLERS.

One cannot read of the enormous sums put through the totali&ator at the various race meetings in New Zealand at a holiday season without arriving at the , painful conclusion that the people of the Dominion are inveterate gamblers.* Unhappily-, the gambling is not restricted to one sex, nor is it restricted to those who can afford) it. Men and women of all descriptions, rich and poor, large and small, weafc and strong, have been, caught in the maelstrom, and the insidious evil is fast developing into a national peril. One of these days the moral and economic wrong of the thing will be pressed home to the people, and a crusade will be started which will limit the betting transactions, if it does not entirely "scotch" them.
