twelve days were 2708770 a total of 5000000 for the current season seemed possible However postponements and bad weather have played havoc with calcu ¬ lations based on the first twelve days and now even threequarters of u million is unlikely to be reached The first twelve days of the season aver ¬ aged slightly over 225000 a day but the average for the last five days at Randwick was only a little over 75000 The autumn meeting only gave a total of 410031 against S371 9 last year and Tattersalls winter meeting 37318 against 130148 130148City City Tattersalls meeting lias yet to take place
