According to the late Mr Crockfurd, who had • "no ,;

mines andsrther things;" but who reldmitted, rather
tetwiflingly, that "at ore period ,d his life, ho had
Some idea of the gambling habits connected in thia -,

that he could not say that he ever "knew" any young
man who had lost 10.000 by play. Gambling, his
thonalba, is made to bear the brunt of other triCei.'"...
"Many people," he camplained with proper Wigan: ..:.-,'
tion at the vile deception, "will say 'they have bent ......
ruined by gambling, who have been ruined by women', , -1 1 ,
and having a box at the opera., and other things of
that kind; but they lay it all on gambling." Monstroue 1

I experience of Mr Tattersall in barges s racing, s aint;; -
betting men, though not in personal betting, for he '
limits his own losses to RS a year, testified "that very
few were actitally ruined on the turf," but he conea-.1
ed that 'there are mare men ruined by night,by garnbs ~i
ling, at gamfiling houses than in the day." .
Accordiug to John Day, the great jockey and trainer, •
. horse racing is purity itself; he never knew a horse ; s'
unfairly dealt with, or wit Witte- n ire n a race when he
was well and it to rum; "a man' weid.l nut do such a.-
,thing." Has beard of the expression—otmaking a' , y ,.
horse safe." But "we laugh at it when wo hear pees ' , .1:

Capt Frederia,Berkely, M. P. thinks that "Laub% -
has led to a ~ :erY atrial fried," and is quite cr rtttin that
racing has come to such a pitch of gambling that
many dishonorable things are done with regard to horse
races. Crif.iT.in Rous.•M: l'.. is of another w a y of
' thinking: racing is not, lie save, offensive to morals;
"on the contrar y very much' otherwise:" anti as. - to
teating; "if per legislate against betting you would'
make this country not hit for a gentlemen to live in;
you will go ~11 and make laws against the way iq
which a man walks;" legislative restriction in betting
: would det'eriorate the value of horses:. "I am sure that
if the leg is'at tire make any restrictions respecting bet :
ties., it would ili-girst almost ever person connected

at a public table at Crockford's than ettcr into private
piny:". the preference with the Conservative would
"entirely depend open whom the gentleman [engaged
in private play) might be." Neither, however, when
he belonged to that notorious club, knew of, that is, wp
presume. saw, very large hisses occurring there.-s•
••When I was at Crockfurd's." says Copt Berkeley, "I
have seen a large coin puny at the table; but there were
not above 5 ter 6 high players;" but he does-act think
he ever knew any who have been in the habit of play
ing at Crockferd's who Were not horse racers. Capt.
Rous has heard of persons losing very large sums of
money at Crockford's, but cannot speak to the facWsi.
has also board of mimes of station in the country "kr.
sing larger sums of money than they liked to pay; not ..
more than they could pay;" for his own part, "he wish
ed Cruel:lord's had been burned down many years
ago."
