A DEFENCE OP THE TOTALISATOR.
(Received September 10, 9.45 a.m.) 1 -SYDNEY, September 10. Mr G. *G. Stead, of 'Christchurcli, in an. interview favouring Hhe totalizator, eaid it tends to materially raise the tone of racing by providing such valuable stakes that there is no temptation iox an owner to -win. by betting sufficient money to meet the heavy expenses incidental to racing -stables. Racing in New Zealand -was never so prosperous before, and, . with. »a\, few rare exceptions, the racing at the metropolitan . meetings was above suspicion. The totalisator encouraged a considerable number of non-betting owners to keep racehorses, and their influence for good on thie turf was incalculable.
