Tho Nanking Government has issued orders to the Customs Department that in future tho importation of greyhounds is to be banned. The companies operating tho tracks say that the move is unlikely severely to hamper their activities, in view of the fact that well over 1000 hounds are in Shanghai. One-tliird of this number comprises bitches, most of which' will be quickly put to breeding.
