NEW TOTALISATOR. WELLINGTON RACING CLUB. WELLINGTON, February 3. A decision to install a new Julius totalisator has been made by the stewards of the Wellington Racing Club. It is hoped to have the new machine in full operation at the club’s spring meeting in October. The new Julius totalisator enables racegoers to purchase both . win and place tickets at one window simultaneously. The installation of new. apparatus will also involve the provision of more windows, which will relieve the congestion so frequently experienced under the present system. The new totalisator will make the Trentham racecourse one of the most up-to-date in the world.
