A Lucky Mistake
One punter at Riverton on Monday was not at all interested in Survoy’s win in the Southern Champion Hack Handicap, until he found on examining the £1 totalizator ticket he had intended to purchase on Salient Knight, it was stamped No. 4, not 3 as he thought he had asked for, remarks The Evening Star, Dunedin. After collecting through the mistake, he was asked' by a friend what he intended to do with the money. “I am going to pay £75 off the mortgage on my house immediately the building society’s office opens, and the interest this will save will keep me in tobacco,” he said.
