UNDER TWENTY-ONE?
Under the new Gaming Bill, any servant of a racing club taking an investment on the totalisator from a person under twenty-one years of age is made liable to a fine not exceeding £IOO, and any person under twentyone years making such an investment is liable, to be fined in a sum not exceeding £SO. The responsibility proposed to be cast upon the totalisator clerk is such that few men would care to undertake it. A way out of the difficulty would, perhaps, be to compel every person who goes to the machine to present his birth certificate with' his pound. This would settle all arguments. But' even this would not prevent the jockey boy or the speculative youth from making his investment, for he would most assuredly find some means of doing so by proxy.
