There appear to be three races of mon ths Chinese, tho Malays and tho natives ot Manilla, to whom In every grado and un der all conditions of life gambling In soma form or other Is as tha breath of their nos trils. Tho lovo of It Is Inborn. They seem unablo to live contented lives without the pleasurable exolteiuont that is to bo found In games of mingled ebanoo and skill, but among Chinamen generally, nnd cortalnly among Chinamen abroad, ths gambling Is of n very mild typo Indeed. In most cities whore there Is a considerable alien Chlncso population to bo dealt with the necessity for licensing and regulating or at least winking nt the existence of tholr gaming houses Is recognized. It Is tlio ono pastime In n life of oontlnuous toll, tho denial of which would be Intoler able and practically impossible. But tho ovll never assumes proportions of any more seriousness than our own domcstlo hand of "Nnpoleon" or tho club rubber of whist or nominal points so long ns tho authorities confine the games strictly to the Chlnamon themselves, n courso followed In such cities as Calcutta and Sydney. It la only when tho riffraff of othor raocs are allowed to "tako a hand” and to ntlllze tho Chinese games, tables and banks for tho gratlHoatlon of their own gambling propensities that any thing llko widespread mischief Is wrought. A Chinaman may, In rare Instanoes, lose his all when gaming among his own coun trymen, but If this result doe* happen he goes next day contontodly back to work and Js not, like most ruined gamblers ot Europoan stock, permanently Incapacitat ed for honest toll. It white mon loso money in a Chinese gambling house, they nro at onoe illogical, dishonest andoontemptlble In denouncing tho Chlncso ns the enuso of their mlsfor- tuno. Tho bush workers Inveigh against their Cldr.CM competitors for their habit of gambling, yet It is notorious that the abenrera nnd thn roustabouts' huts on tbs sheep stations nro frequently scenes where men ore, In colonial phraseology, "lambed down” and fleered of all their season's earnings by qusslpmfesslonsl gamblers, who find the evening game at cards far more profitable and to their taete than the day’s work on or around the shearing board.
