THE TERM OF ENDEARMENT
Sir-At page 44 of your issue of October 3 you refer to "Sir George Julius, son of New Zealand’s late Archbishop Julius, and the inventor of the mechanical totalisator." Hansard reports of debates on the Gaming Bill of 1881 show that the mechanical totalisator was then well known, so its inventor can hardly have been born later than about 1860. "Who’s Who in New Zealand" shows that the late Archbishop Julius got married in 1873. Seldom, I think, has genealogical misfortune been more delicatelvy indicated.
