[united PRESS association] At the Resident Magistrates Court yesterday, Daniel Dark brought an action against the Island Bay Racing Club for £2 6s, being the amount which he alleges should have been paid to him as a dividend on,the horse Talebearer, in the Consolation Race,, at the Island Bay meeting on the 23rd of January. The race first resulted in a dead heat between Talebearer and Littlo Scrub, but in the run off, Little Scrub won, and the stewards authorized the totalisators to pay out on that horse. Plaintiff contends the money on the machines should havo beon divided, After.a long argument His Worship held that investments in totalisators were nothing moro than bets on racing, and therefore could not be recovered. Judgment was given for defendant with £9 costs, Notice of appeal was given.
