MR. JEANS TELLS Tlere is what N. Jeans, of Shrewsbury tells the British public of New Zealand totalisator conditions in a. letter to ‘‘London Sporting Life” last month: “Having seen the electric totalisator work smoothly and promptly in all parts of the world, it is irritating beyond measure to find the English authorities approaching the question as if they were pioneers. At the big Christmas meeting in Auckland. New Zealand, a crowd of SO,OOO is easily handled on the "Tote.” Percentages may have been changed since I was there, but the arrangement was:— 60 per cent, over the winner, 30 per cent, over the second, 10 per cent, to the funds. In this way the backer automatically backed a horse win and 1, 2. I won't go into the merits of the win bet; and the place bet 1,2, 3, being separate transactions, but the New Zealand method certainly made for simplicity. The register showed, of course, the total money invested, and the amount on any given horse, so that it was child’s play to work out what you would get if your horse won or got second. Moreover, the issue. of a ticket took the same time as the purchase of a ticket on the Ivondon Tube railways, and paying out very little longer. Quite the maddest arrangements I have seen were ut Lanark, where they had certain windows for backing certain horses, and for paying out over them! The result is pretty obvious. Long queues lined up at the windows of the fancied horses, where clerks were both paying and receiving, while at the other windows officials stood idle. Another evidence of futility was a blackboard,, with a staff of two or three clerks, who wore marking up in the Silver Ring every two or three minutes, the money staked on each horse in that ring. This was sheer waste of energy, because the final dividend had no relation at all to the money staked in the Silver Ring, but was based on the total invested in all rings.”
