ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. A. M. D., Dunedin.— (l) Yes. (2) No; a backer only receives up to the j£7 103 and £2 10s. (3) If a horse pay? £1 6s to win, there is no reason why a backer should win more than that price. If the second horse pays over the limit at which he is backed, there is no reason why that fact should swell the dividends payable on the first horse.
