Every sign that tells of the growing love for dumb animals is gratefulto my mind; for any one who has a true, kindly love for pets cannot bewholly bad. While I gently ridicule the people who keep useless brutesto annoy their neighbours, I would rather see even the hideous, uselesspug kept to wheeze and snarl in his old age than see no pets at all. Good luck to all good folk who love animals, and may the reign ofkindness spread! _March, 1888. _ _THE ETHICS OF THE TURF_. When Lord Beaconsfield ca...lled the Turf a vast engine of nationaldemoralization, he uttered a broad general truth; but, unfortunately, hedid not go into particulars, and his vague grandiloquence has inspired alarge number of ferocious imitators, who know as little about theessentials of the matter as Lord Beaconsfield did. These imitators abusethe wrong things and the wrong people; they mix up causes and effects;they are acrid where they should be tolerant; they know nothing aboutthe real evils; and they do no good, for the simple reason that racingblackguards never read anything, while cultured gentlemen who happen togo racing smile quietly at the blundering of amateur moralists.
