BETTING REGULATIONS.
ORDER. OF FAVOURITISM. WELLINGTON, May 26. Under the new regulations governing the transmission of telegrams dealing with racing a question has arisen of the legality of publishing figures before the names of horses showing the order in which they were backed on the totalisator. The point was referred to the Crown Law Office, and, a ruling has been received that the practice has to do with betting and cannot be allowed. The Telegraph Department announces that, in view of this opinion, these figures must in future be omitted from telegraphed race reports.
