NOTES BV "MOTUROA." In the first 'hack hurdles on Wed-ncud-ity tile owner of Woodmount was lined £1 for lute scratching. In the hanidicap hurdles on the first day 'lVlfond, rider of Hnweru, was lined a:.") for misconduct at the post. The owner o<f l'aritutu had to contribute £1 towards the club's funds for late scratching on Thursday. One advantage of the totalizator is thai it is always in its place whan paying-out time comes. With some minor bookmakers this is not the case. Yesterday one of the fraternity w-us "struck." for a -goodly amount, but evidently had not the "ready" to discharge his indebtedness. So he gave his client, a Maori some cash- on accoimt, and also an acknowledgement that lie owed so much more, promising to pav at the hank this morning. The note was initialled, but this provides but little security to the bolder cj the Piece of paiier. Mr .1. It.
