CANNOT SEE THE RACES.—A view of the big crowd at Avondale on Saturday. The picture was taken from the grandstand, and illustrates convincingly how the people on the lawn and main stand, also the members’ stand, are prevented from seeing the race by the outside stand and the spectators lining the fence. Ten shilling totalisator tickets are procurable only on the outside machine, the entrance to which is located close to the number board on the left of the picture, and conveys some idea of the scrimmaging necessary to make an investment.
