The Trentham,course received nothing but eulogy, and .the conduct of .the meeting was extolled. ; It was agreed that .it. was the equal,, as a racecourse, of in Australia. : ;.: .: Naturally the monopoly of betting accorded ( the -totalisator did not appeal so much. Mr. J. S. Brunton, owner of Carry On and Maltdale, said on his roturn this week that he was: convinced that a combination of bookmakers and totalisator was more advantageous.
