Starters (divided) average about J3134 each; Non-starters (divided) average about i3IOO each. There is no such liberal division as above given in the colonies for either Starters or Nonstarters. Attention is drawn to the fact that in all the important races, both in Australia and New Zealand, a large proportion of the horses originally nominated are subsequently struck out of their engagements, and therefore the answers of non-starters in nearly all other consultations receive but a very trifling and almost infinitesimal amount each, and in many instances they receive actually less than the amount of their application fee for » non-starter.
