(United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received June 15, 12 noon.) RUGBY, June 11. THK advent of the toialisator on English racecourses will bring with it a new scheme which will enable racegoers to attend meetings without carrying large sums of money. The big banks have agreed with the Racecourse Betting Control Board to issue to their customers hooks of chits of denominations varying from £1 to £IOO, which can be handed to the totalisator clerk, instead of cash. The winnings on such chits will be automatically credited to the banking account of the owner.—British Official Wireless.
