PLEA FOR BOOKMAKER
(By Telegraph.)
FORMER PROMINENT OWNER
(Special to the "Evening Post.") - [/. DUNEDIN, This Day. Mr. Frank -Graham, of Sydney, a former ownei'i.of a prominent racing stable, is an advocate for the bookmaker. In an interview he- said that New Zealand was an enthusiastic racing country-that had produced some great horses; but the'fact that so', many-owners persistently invaded Australia proved that better conditions existed over there. The bookmakers were at present operating in all Australian States, and wherever they were licensed racing generally was flourishing. For some time, he' mentioned, South Australia'had tried-to get along .without the bookmakers, but when about two years ago it was found that the sport had sunk ,to\a low ebb they were re-established, the result being a return to a more satisfac-' tory state of affairs. In the Old Country nobody who understood the game would ever dream of trying to chase the".book-' 'makers off the course-r-unlcss, of course, they were welshers.
