THE "TOTE" AND BOOKMAKERS.
| An analysis of the totalisator, takings at the Dunedin race meeting shows that the receipts of. the machine have increased Iby about £14,000 compared with last year. This represents to the Club, at 7-J per cent., a sum of £IOSO. If twenty bookmakers had been registered each day at an average of £2O, .tthey "would have produced £1200; Et is open toi question, therefore, whether the Club has derived l an advantage from the abolition of the bookmaker. The country, however, has made a. distinct gain. At 2£ per cent, it has secured an increased revenue of £350, to say nothing of the tax upon the larger takings of the Club.
