"SHOP" BETTING SCENES
Remarkable scenes were witnessed in Adelaide on January 13 when oft'-the-eoiirso betting was under • the new law in the basement of Tuttcrsall'g Chambers; adjoining Tattersall's Club., Accommodation was totally inadequate for the thousands who sought admittance, and many who managed to enter ~tho basement, failed to reach one of the' 20 bookmakers who operated. Throughout the afternoon the room contained a mass of struggling people. The shade temperature was 93deg,.and conditions in the building were almost unendurable. A long queue formed in the street an hour before the first race. There was no meeting in South Australia, and the betting was on the Epsom (Melbourne) races.
