SPORTING.

One of the candidates for the Wairalapa seat (Mr A. D. McLeod) stated at his meeting ou Wednesday that he would support a Bill for increasing the number of totalisator permits for trotting clubs. If elected, he would do what he could to secure a permit for the Mastarton Trotting Club. He also referred to the absurdity of the newspapers being prevented from publishing the _ amount paid by a horse on the totalisator. This restriction served no purpose at all, because those who desired to ascertain Hie amount paid by a horse could do so through illegal sources fifteen minutes after every race.
