The Chairman also made reference to the proposed Totalisator Tax, and said that the 2A per cent proposed was too large Mr Nathan further stated that if a small percentage was taken from the totalisator gains it should at least ho given back in the shape of a 50 per cent Government subscription to Queen's Plates, to be run at the metropolitan centres. Tlieso Q.ieen's Plates should be for the support of horse breeding —that is breeding lor stamina and endurance as well as speed. Looking at the immense field in India for remount-*, it would be good policy on the part of the Government to encourage a breed of strong cavalry and artillery horsos.
