lii India' somo owners and a scction of the Press aro still opposed io tlio totalisator, and if the bookmakers are not reinstated in Bombay (says an exchange), it will not bo for lack of advocacy of their cause. However, as is customary wherever the machine is used, the prize-money, at Bombay' meetings ia already on the up grade. Over £3000 more is being distributed at iho coming big meeting than at last year's corresponding fixture, the value of tho Grand Western Handicap having advanced from just over £900 to slightly more, than £1800;, the Bombay City •Plato from £700 to £1333: tho Byculla Club Cup-from £687 to £910; and tho Turf Club Cup and tho Mansfield Cup from ,£842 to £456 each, while a new race, the Wellington , Plate, ' entries £1000. ;■ If the-prize-money continues to increase'in the :Saiiic ratio for another tlireo..or four years, it is more than .'likely; that even , those Bombay owners' now V opposed to tho 'machsno will have something to'say in its favour. -TRACK WORK : AT.;TBENTHAM;';': i'' Training operations, were in full swine before.-.5 a.m.; yesterday.J It,was a fine but dull'morning attendance, to witness the work. , ■ ' The course proper, and tau tracks were open and .tin:..going:on ■■ both ...was ..very : .'Several' horses;Sgot. : ~irisido;'ooscc.'' in. running the lialf-inile, but.there was notiiiiiK :..outstanding -.about. any of ■ ill# other >':v T !
