HUGE TOTE DOUBLES
)ver 2000 to 1 & 3000 to 1 BRISBANE. Sunday. The totalisator double on the Flying and Novice Handicaps at Doomben returned to the sole winner of the second leg a return of more than £530 for 5/-. The double was won by Schoolmate and Grlassion. Out of 2477 tickets on tbe first race, 210 were on Schoolmate. Only one ticket was exchanged for Glassion, and the lucky investors, Mrs A. Weise and her sister-in-law, Miss E. L. Weise, of Ipswich, received the whole of the pool, less the usual percentage. The reeord dividend paid by the double since its inception in Brisbane is £775 for 5/- in 1935. It also was collected by a woman. At a meeting at Doomben on December 19, Mr Weise invested on Schoolmate and Glassion in the double, Schoolmate dead-heating for first while Glassion failed in. the second leg. After commiserating with Weise on his bad luck, Mrs Weise and Miss Weise intimated their intention of taking these two horsss in the next double in which they were braclieted, which was yesterday. Neither of the women attended the meeting yesterday, and Mr Weise was commissioned to rnake an investment on the course for them.
