DUAL TOTALISATOR SYSTEM
NEW PLYMOUTH INSTALLATION. CLUB FINALISES ARRANGEMENTS. The Taranaki Jockey Club committee last night completed arrangements for the installation of dual- totalisators, :“win” and “place”, at the Christmas /■aces, It was decided to open, windows for £5, £1 and 10s straight-out win, and for £5, 10s and 5s place betting. The straight-out, win machine will be open on all races; the place machine will pay two dividends for races with 5, 6 and 7 starters in a race, and three dividends in race's with eight and more starters. It is of course to be understood that coupled horses are represented on the machine by .one number only,' so that eight starters may actually represent seven numbers, in which case two dividends will be paid.. The pool, which under the present System is divided 75 per cent, to the winner and 25 per cent, to the second horse, will under the new place system be divided into two equal parts in the case of a twodividend race, and into three equal parts where there are more than eight starters.
