The ‘oydn-y Telegraph ’ of the 10th says [_■' Mr j. A. Auckland, who is certainly the grcatcct trotting enthusiast in the colonies, and, what is quits as well to tl • point, has wealth sufficient to enable him to indulge in the luxury on a vety extensive scale,"will ’eave to-day In the b.b. Monowai on another trip to New Zealand. The trip is being taken merely for pleasure, and is txp c ed to extend over six or eight weeks, but Mr Buckland will be accompanied by a quartet of trotters—Val, What, Sunshine, „ and the great Fritz, who for several days past have been located at Blolt’s stables, Caslltreagh street. The three first-named will be given ample opportunities of paying iheir exp°nser, hut there are very few events ..pen to the champion, who may, therefore, !:o seen only iu competition against ‘ time.’ .Spoilsmen will wish the Woubohbie con* lingtnl a sncce~sf-.il Lime generally.” The Legislative Council of New South Wales has been discussing a Bill to legalise the toUiisalor. Mr Pilcher, QC, in intio* ducing the measure, said that its obj :cls were to e icouragc legiiimutc racing by keeping the number of racecourses within reasonable bounds, and by increasing the prizes to give a fillip to breeding good racehorses. In the colonies where the machine had been tried it mitigated the worst fonn of gambling. Under the Bill a certain percentage of the pn fis was to go to the Government for distribution among charitable institutions. Sir Arthur Renwick said In- found that in the other colonics those who had voted for tie totalisatnr were now against it, because r.f its evil t ffect. Attorney-General Want said his opinion concerning the measure had changed, and he intended to vote for it. Gambling could not be slopped, and the bett thing to do was to control it. The totaliaator would have the effect of stopping corrupt running, and would prevent a certain cl&: B of bookmakers from getting control over horses and jockeys. Sir Julian Salomons said the defect of the Bill was that it did not seek to stop the totaliaator shops or to restrict other forms of betting. The debate was adjourned. Steady work was the order of the day at the Forbury ibis morning. M'Ginnesa began with IHisa, Fulmen, aud Nihilist at about five o’clock. These three are well, and each should win a race at the meeting. Abercrombie (looking ratlnr light) and Jupiter followed, and Decoy aud Arline weiemxt to shape. The last-named looks very well.
