At Flemington Racecourse it now requires 10 operators, eight receiving and despatch clerks, and four messengers, to carry on the work in the telegraph office in the saddling paddock ; whilst a couple of operators are stationed in a branch office on the hill. There are now seven direct wires to the office, one being a duplex, which converts one line Into two. In order to provide for the increased business, it is intended, before the next Cup meetin" comes round, to have a cable laid down between Melbourne and Flemington capable of carrying from 44 to 30 wires, and they will all be worked on the duplex principle.
