The dividends were posted promptly, and those who wore lucky enough to visit tho “payout” part of tho machine found their wants attended to with dispatch, there being no hitch of any kind. Those who attended at Awapuni to witness the races possess a vey slight knowledge of the large amount of work t.> be done to provide all the necessary facilities for their convenience,, and it is but right that tho secretary, Mr J. M. Johnston, should receive his due share of praise for tho unvarying excellence of the arrangements. The amount put through the machines for the day totalled £54.838. making a total for the three days of £172,525.
