Carrying previelon about television but one step further—what is going to bo trio effect upon the newspaper it - lien? There are those who already predict the disappearance of the newspaper, as indeed kas done when radio first made its appearance. It is a fact, however, that great newspapers have since the coming of radio sent up their circulation by leaps, which acts as a salutary cold douche to fevered imaginations run riot. One cannot be too careful about prognostication. The event pearly al- ways falsifies the prophet. I believe that will be to a large extent the case with television. I do not believe the theatre will ultimately suffer by the coming of television. What television will do will be to introduce the theatre proper to a bigger public.

There London, --During the last-borso-rac- ing season gate money fell off by as mush as 10 ,per cent. from the pro- ceeds of 1825. Raw weather and bad trade may have had something to do with this, and the competing attrac- tion of greyhound racing also possibly kept people away from the courses where the sport of kluge has its local habitation. But the chief cause of depreciation, according to Lord Hamilton of Dal- zell, one of the "big pots" of the Joc- key Club, leas been the betting tax by which Winston Churchill sought to In- crease the national revenue. The Chancellor of the Exchequer got what he wanted to the tune of about £2,590,000, but the racing as- sociations suffered owing to the di- minished attendance at the meetings and now are faced by the alternative of either increasing the entrance charges or reducing their money prizes. They aro reluctant to do the former lost they scare away even more of their former patrons and they ars averse to doing the latter because the owners and breeders of racehorses will be tempted by bigger money prizes to send their horses abroad. Lord Hamilton thinks a solution of the difficulty can be found by legaliz Mg the Totalisor betting machine or by authorizing the racing companies to charge the bookmakers for the privilege of plying their vocation Either of these courses would entail a further• step in .the State recognition of betting. So far, that recognition has only gone to the extent of levying a tax on betting. Lord Hamilton's plea will doubtless insure the eventual recognition by Parliament that the betting laws: as they at present stand aro illogical, but what used to be called the non -con- formist conscience of this country Will be gravely disturbed before such a consummation is attained. was grave danger that .adjoining land mighit pans into the bands of the speculative builder, and house seeds I might have been offered a "chaellepFg villa With, a fins view of Br.i,tain's old- ( est monument."
