The 'VjtitonsL Eacing Club and , ?the Tdtaiisator v (Post's Correspondent.) M ELBOUUJS li, AU USI. 5. An interesting feature at the annual meeting of the Victoria Racing Club, which was attended six hundred members, was' a discussion re the totalisato'r. Mr M'Kean moved that steps be taken to huve the totalisator legalised subject to its administration under the : by-laws of the club. He .proved, that the use i" of the machine would prevent the public being victimised by disreputable bookmakers, .and have a beneficial influence on sport. On a i-ecent tour to New Zealand he had beenuiucb. struck" with its i utility, and he bad not the slightest; doubt that it V oul'd give 'satisfaction." Mr Moleswo th; Green seconded the motion.' Aa there was always bound •to be a certain amuunib' of uetliug it was .wise, that steps should .be. taken to keep it withiii proper limits, and •the totahsatjur would' "have a good •effect inthia direction. It would prevent _ you og men- from betting be.yoad their meau^, for they would be unable "to bet on the totalisator without haying the ...money to stake. Judge, Molesw prth said- that before •B,ay recommendation was made memv bers might consult the feeiing of those who:patrouise ! -the _?leniington course much in the same way as they attended a picnic, without any desire to 'iud ulgein betting,, including ladies and children!' lie believed that nine out of ten; ( per3on3 who attended the meetings ■pf ; the Club neither betted nor -to.krany. part whateverin auy betting -transaction— (Crks of "No") Everyone was entitled to his opinion, and he repeated that he. believed there were riirie out of every ten persons went to the course did not in•dulge r habitually in. the vice of gambling;- Was it wise to ask Parliament to allow the club to keep what -would- amount to gainl/ling tables? If under*; the present state of things a "young 1 man' was. "welshed," it was the best thing whiuh could happen to him, for it made him : stop on the threshold of gambling. (Laughter.) Ifvthe^e gambling tables were established, they would make the vice not -only easy, but fashionable. And the .probability was that .not only would gambirng-incfeasearaohg men, but it would'be indulged 'in by women. Mr* MoieswortK Graen— But the wometTbet now. ;. they: all do it. Judge;;Molesworth said on behalf of the ladies of Victoria, he hurled back insinuation of Mr Green with scorn. He ihoughtV. however there -was little chance of tbe proposal receiving^the ' sanction of -±*arliament,for he could not, see how the Legis- - lature'cpuld cbrisistaptry -allow, gamKoling tables on Flemington course "without 'allowing them in any house in Melbourne^ . "'...,' ]"' . _ Mr J: GUvariDuffy; ML. A., said he F hoped Judge Moleswprth was not op- • ..^posing 'the totalisatdr, from interested .motives;; It might [ be that its intro--ductioa would lessen' the' number of '. iusoiyerits, and the busiriesa of his '■ Court would iall away: (ii'aughter ) V3?he totalisator. had - many advantages over tHe"' ordinary-'., bookmaker, for it did not^get. drunk, it did not wear a £aming A jblue tie, or .sport , dazzling diamonds, it could not swear audit must pay it debts; (Eenewed laughter) Judge iMoleßwbrt_i r notwithstanding, the public 1 liked to have their debts j>aid. (liaughter.) He must confess that when he' went to" the l; races he spent. a pound or two, and if he lost -he was sorry, and, if he. won, and was .not paid;.' he was still /more sorry. „ (Laughter. ) There shduld be no _humbug : or hypocrisy over a question of this kind, it was well known thai; there was a large ampuntof gambling on every^ racecourse, find it was as was as.well that it should proceed under such satisfactory eoudiiion.s as were obtained by the use of the totalizator. .-. , The motion was carried almost sunanimpurtly. .Eow Ladies Bathe in Turkey When a -refined Turkish lady bathes vlier attire.: is first, .removed.
