The committee of tho South Auckland Racing Club have passed a resolution strongly condemning tho proposed tax on totalisators. The Secretary was instructed to forward a copy of tho resolution to the Secretary of the Auckland Club, which, aH the Metropolitan Club, will be represented at tho Conference to be held in Wellington shortly. Similar resolutions have been passed by all the leading racing clubs throughout the colony, thereby showing that the gonoral feeling is that such a tax would do an immenso amount of injury to legitimate racing, tho amount as proposed, L'\ per cent, on tho gross amount put through tho machine, being far too heavy. [by electric telegraph.—copyright.] London, July 2. At Newmarket to-day, Mr Daniel Cooper, the Australian sportsman, purchased a yearling colt, Barcaldino — ICatherina, for 1,100 guineas.
