RACING AND BETTING.
JOCKEY CLUB INQUIRY. DEPUTATION TO CHANCELLOR. (British Official "Wireless.) A. and N.Z. RUGBY, April 29. In connection with the announcement that the Jockey Club has decided to hold an inquiry into the means by which betting may best be made to contribute to the maintenance of horse-breeding and racing,' it may be stated that only last month the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Winston Churchill, intimated to a deputation of racehorse owners that if at any time the totalisator were> legalised and became an important feature in racing, those interested in breeding bloodstock horses could then claim a share in whatever was left over after the Government had taken its due. It is known that for some years the men who are the pillars of the turf have been anxious to divert somo of the profits of betting, which have hitherto gone exclusively to the bookmakers, into channels that would do more good to horse-breeding.
