FIVE-SHILLING TOTE
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHipiCH, July 20. At the annual meeting of the Canterbury Park Trottmg Club, Mr.. D. Coleman moved that it be a recommendation to members that the introduction of a 5s totalisaafcor be consid' ered.
He said he thought that such a move would be in the interests of all* concerned, and would encourage to attend races many persons who could, not afford to bet in higher denominations. More than a decade ago he had advocated this policy, and his ideas had «ot changed. Apart from easier 'betting facilities, he said, he thought that the proposed idea would result in trigger returns.
Messrs. E. C. Cross and A. Rose supported Mr. Colemaji's motion, and with only the dissentient voice of Mr. H. J. Otley, who explained the great expense needed in the conversion of the totalisator for such, business, it was carried.
