PROTECTING THE TOTAUSATOR. A peculiar difference in Totalisator investments nt Mowbray and Elwick during the "Tasmanian Fortnight" has to be recorded. At the former place there was a shortage of over 0,000 compared with 1913, but at Kiwick the difference showed an increase of 0,000 over the takings in 1913. It has lieen stated that the extra vigilance exercised at "Elwick In dealing with bookmakers gave the Southern club a pull over the Northern institution. Some 40 jwrsons were treated as "suspects" during the three! days on which Elwiok was in full swing, but -whether anything more effective than a caution is to be administered remains to be seen. As in Now Zealand, so It appears to In; in Tasmania, a considerable amount of illegal ltetting is indulged in, particularly Iu Hobart and Lauuccston. Sydney 1 Referee.
