PARI-MUTUELS FOR WESTERN CANADA. . "After many years absence from the Canadian lurf the pari-miiliit-1 system of ra -oitrse speculation 1 is to be revived at the big Calgary meeting this summer. savs Ihe Toronto Globe. "The legality ot the mutuels in Canada was established by the judgment of the Supreme Court, which laid down ] the right of clubs to set apart any portion of their premises for ihe convenience of people who desired 1 to resort there to bet with each other, and also the right to keep, use or exhibit any device or apparatus for the convenience of people who wanted 1 to bet with each other. That is the pari-Jiiutucl. • bv which the liookniaker is eliminated. People niake wagers with each other, not with the person j in charge of the machine, who is therefore entitled to keep a place. The time will probably come when onlv this form of individual lulling will be favored 1 in Canada. It has many advantages, and few disadvantages, , as compared with the other system."
