To the Editor of the "Norta-Cuina Dairy News."
Sir,—I have perused with interest the various letters dealing with the Haskell Race Club, and if I may be permitted I would like to say a few words in support of "One Who Knows Enough."
I have made investigations regarding the above named Club, and am told that the Club is not registered anywhere and_ that stables are owned by a good number of young men whose gains or losses vary from 10 cents to over $100.
Now, I am of the opinion that such an institution should not be allowed to exist, for the Police must certainly understand that the community must be safeguarded against the future establishment of similar clubs. If the H. R. C. is allowed to continue its operations, others may to-morrow also think of attracting to their purses a certain amount of money from the public selling them cheap lottery tickets, etc., a practice which should be forbidden, or there will never be an end to free gambling in Shanghai.
I am told that besides the races, other big games are conducted on the same premises day and night, which prove an attraction to young men.
I am, ete, OpseRVER.
Shanghai, April 19.
