TOTALIS ATOR CLERK PAYS OUT TOO MUCH
(By Telegraph.—Special to "The Mail")
CHRiSTCHURCH, 17th Nov.
Dame Fortune, did not smile on one of the pay-out clerks at the Riccartoh Racecourse last Saturday afternoon. In the hurry and bustle he miscalculated the amount on three tickets which' were presented to him and paid out the sum of £75 7s 6d instead of £ls 7s 6d. At the end of the day the pay clerk found himself £6O short" in his cash, and unless ths person who received the money returns it the clerk will have to pay the £6O from his own pocket.
