THE TOTALISATOR.
The whole history of the totalisa.tor teaches that the longer it is, in use the amount risked by an individual on a single race becomes gradually less. The so-calledyincrcasc in totalisator betting is due entirely to the increase of population, and of wealth. The only opponents of; the machine in this country are the people totally opposed to betting of any sort or description; but, admitting that betting must go on in a greater or less-degree, the machine is, without doubt, a protection to the public, and at the same time a means of saxing the youth of the Dominion from the moral corruption that is the inevitable consequence of making gambling the means of livelihood and the sport of a, class that fattens upon its abuse.—“ Southland Times.”
