THE TOTALISATOR PERMITS.
(press association telegram.) WELLINGTON, March 14. The Acting Colonial Secretary has written to the Secretary of the Wellington Racing Club, stating that he is not prepared to consider any applications for permission to use the totalisator at race meetings in the Wellington district until the restriction placed upon the Masterton-Opaki Jockey Club be removed. The Club declined to approve of the programme of that Club except on the condition that no totalisator was used at the meeting; It ia understood that, in consequence of this decision, the Wellington Racing Club and Wairarapa Racing Club will withdraw their autumn programmes as the Metropolitan Club is not likely to recede from the position taken up. The Stewards meet on Wednesday to finally decide.
