The Manawatu Herald. Thursday, April 8, 1915. NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Ip we remember rightly a few years ago the FeUding Star broke into verse concerning the local race meeting. It has since dropped the lyre and the muse and thus seriously reflects upon the Easter local race meeting: Just upon ,£56,000 went through the totalisator during the two days of the Feilding races I Who says money is scarce ? Who is it amongst those who contributed to that great inpouring of cash can now say he cannot pay his debts ? Why, this is literally a land overflowing with milk and money. The totalisator proves it. Here we have leisure and pleasure and treasure. We knock off work to carry sovereigns to the goddess of luck in the machine. We are a people so given over to the worship of the Goddess of Chance. . . . .
What says the butcher and the baker ai d the grocer ? Neatly ,£56,000 invested at a two days’ race meeting !
