TOUR OF THE WARATAHS. RECORD GATE TAKINGS. CFree* Association —By Telegraph—Oopjngat LONDON, January 26. (Received Jan. 27, at 10 p.m.) The gate money for the 28 matches played by the Waratahs is expected to yield a total of £61,000 sterling, including a record against England of £16,000, because, for the first time, the new stand a Twickenham was filled. Other international takings were:—Against Scotland £BOOO, against Wales £SOOO, and against Ireland £4500. The smallest gate was £3OO, against North Scotland. Deducting the expenses of the tour (£16,000) and the entertainments tax £12,200), this means that the Waratahs will hand over £52,800 to the British authorities, to be divided as follows: England £14,000, Wales £9OOO, Scotland £5700, Ireland £4OOO. This compares with the All Blacks’ profits of £21,000. The Waratahs will take back £I6OO profit from France. The sum of £6OO has been guaranteed for a match in Vancouver.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
