MANAGEMENT OF RACING.
.Sir,—The racing- clubs ought lo provide more totalisators—not ,£l, but (en shilling or five shilling machines. Though horse-racing may be the sport of kings, it is the people that find (he money to keep it going, and therefore have a right to be represented on 'he governing bodies. The racing clubs don't eater for the moderate punter. Since the bookmakers have been abolished from all racecourses of the Dominion, it; seems now that the racing clubs have made, betting a monopoly. Is tho moderate punier to be debarred from having a silver bet—many of. us cannot afford to bet pound notes—or is the sport solely to be played for tho monietl class?—l am, etc., R. H. MOFFAT.
