NEW N.S.W. BILL.
NO STARTING PRICE BETTING, SYDNEY. Aug. 24. Moving the second reading of the Gaming and Betting Amendment Bill in the Legislative Asemblv aiming at the suppression of off-the-course—-otherwise starting-price—betting, the Chief Secretary (Mr Gollan) estimated that the turnover from these forms of illegal wagering amounted in round figures to £40,000,000 in New South Wales. Mr Gollan explained that the Bill ■would make illegal the dissemination of betting odds or information before the start of the last race by any person not on the racecourse. Certain wireless stations . are thus directly affected. Heavy penalties are also provided against professional tipping. The debate is proceeding.
