Iu reply to an inquiry by Mr 11. J. Greenslade, M.H.R., the Minister for Railways states that in the near future very extensive alterations will be. necessary in connection with the Morrinsville station to provide for the expansion of business which is now going on ah over the railway system of the North Island, and it will therefore be necessary to remove the present station to a more suitable position. Mr Poole has given notice to ask the Premier whether he will make provision in the promised Gaming Bill for a reduction by one-third of the number of days of racing as existing last year, and for which the totalisator was licensed. The member for Auckland West also suggests that Auckland and Christchurch racing clubs should have the right to use the totalisator on twelve days and Wellington and Dunedin eight days, the balance of the number of days, as reduced by one-third, being divided pro rata by the racing conference among the racing clubs now holding permits for the use of the totalisator. He also wishes it made obligatory that the machine be closed at least five minutes before the advertised time of starting each race, the penalty for a breach of this provision t® be the immediate cancellation of Hie club sliuonse to usg tbe totalisator. His final suggestion is that inspectors appointed by the Government and paid by the clubs using the totalisator should watch and check all investments, and see that no money is put on after the advertised time of starting the race.

A RECORD HAND MACHINE, The following letter from Mr.F. W Alexander of Tauranga, is a sample of dozens of testimonials received by the agents for the Baltic separator : —‘ I have used a Baltic separator of 40 gallons capacity for two seasons, and. it has given every satisfaction. This is a real good little machine, easy to turn, takes the full quantity claimed, very simple, aud the upkeep for two seasons has only been the cost for oil. Tests of skim milk by the factory manager have been under .02, which I consider must be a record for a hand machine.” MacEwau and Co., sole agents, Fortstreet, Auckland.
