TOTE IN BRITAIN
HIGH HOPES RAISED. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). LONDON, Dec. 5. Lord Dabornon, addressing a meeting at Newmarket, said the totalisetor has been responsible for a remarkable increase to racegoers, amounting in some instances to eighty per cent. Judging by tfie investments thus far, it was anticipated that the first year’s operation will result, in a turnover of £36,000,000. The average yearly amount spent in betting in England is 267 millions. The experience already gained confirmed the view that the totalisator would lead to better racecourses, betel- stands, cheaper admission, larger prizes, and diminished entrance fees.
