Bookmakers Lose Much Business
CLIENTS ALARMED A STRANGE PSEUDONYM (.Special to THE SUN. ) CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday. Apparently nothing has more disturbed the business of the bookmakers of Christchurch JLhan the recent prosecution of their clients. Inquiries made by a SUN man show that the majority of punters have taken alarm, and are not prepared to do business. Some of the regular clientele, it is stated, have regularly done business under assumed names, and so are not greatly concerned over the question of discovery. Indeed one of the largest punters in Christchurch makes bets under the name of a leading dignitary of the Church of England. The reporter was also informed that one of the big bookmakers who has been compelled to shift his office quarters is now installed in a private house.
