They told lfs (says the Auckland Star) the country was in pawn, and that there was no money to redeem the tickets. But.the. totalisator returns for Boxing . Day indicate that there is still a little, loose change lying about. There ..were eight race meetings on Saturday, jneuding three days’ trotting. At the eight meetings the money put through the totalisator amounted to £321,209, made up as follows: Auckland Racing Club £145,909, Manawatu, £57,795, Taranaki £30,564, Duncdiji £35.182. Westland £BSOB, South Wairarapa ’Trotting Club £8217, Gore £10,380, Ashburton _ £21,617.
