GREYHOUND RACES.
TOTALISATOR ILLEGAL. (British Official AVireless.) RUGBY, Dec. 17. The effect of yesterday’s judgment of tho Lord Chief Justice, which would make the totalisator illegal at greyhound races, continues to excite public interest. Totalizators were in use at several meetings last night. Tlie position of totalisator clubs, the spread of which lias boon very rapid in recent months, is the subject of consideration and it is generally assumed that they will be closed. No. police action is likely, however, pending instructions from the Home Secretary. Law officers are stated to have the whole matter under consideration.
Editorial comment mostly welcomes the judgment as bringing to a head an unhealthy situation in which new betting facilities were increasing under doubtful legal authority
