i THE AUSTRALIAN TOTALISATOR COMMISSION. By Cable—Prews Awoeisition—Copyright Received 22, 9.15 pan, Sydney, April 22. The Totalisator Commission has commenced taking evidence.

Mr. Cropper, secretary of the Jockey Club, favored the totalisator from the Club's point of view. It would mean an increase of revenue. He thought it would not be an outside estimate to say that between six and seven million pounds would pass through the totalisator in New South Wales annually.
