AUSTRALIANS MONTE Carl %.
A Remarkable Gambling Scheme That Is
.CaiIed the TattersaIrs Sweep.

|
.Cailed the TattersaIls Sweep.
The Australian race lottery, in which
hr. Stoddart, captain of the English
crlckoters, won SO, 500 the other day, Is
one of the most extraordinary gambling
schemes III the world. 1t is best known
as 'Iattersalls sweep and has been
III existence for many years at the antip-
odes. The breath of scandal has never
touched it, and the "drawings' for the
bigger events are supervised by a COM
mitteo of leading citizens and pressmen
OF the city in which it is at the time To-
Gated.
George Adams, the organizer, makes
1t business to get up sweeps on all the
chief Australian races, and, owing to
the strong support he receives, is en-
abled to give prizes that even singIy
would be taken as modest fortunes by
most people. 1t has been estimated that
during twelvomonth run 81, 500, 600 1t
the publlc's money passes through Adj
ans hands,
Take the Melbourne cup, for instance.
On this race the big sweep is 100, 600
subscribers at So each, and the price for
drawing the horse that wins the CUP is
$50, 600. The holder of the second
horse ticket receives $37, 500, and $12,-
900 goes to the third horse ticket. In
addition, some thousands of pounds arc
distributed among those who get horses,
whether they start in. tho race or not.
and there are hundreds of cash prizes,
ranging from $500 to the modest "tiver''
each. On this race there will be other
sweeps at prices to suit the most hum.
bic contributor. Two consultations, as
they are termed, of 90 200 at half a
sovereign each, and one of 100, 900 at s |
shillings each.
All through the year racing is going
on Ill Australia, where the horse is
1dolized, and nearly every week there is
a sweep AS mentioned previously, no
doubt has ever been cast on the honesty
OF the organizer, who deducts 10 per
cent from all the winnings so as to re-
coup himself for his expenditure and
eXertion.
He employs as many clerks as a large
bank, spends thousands of pounds an
nually i'll advertising and now holds in
his possession nearly $3.50, 900 worth of
prizes.
Legislation has time after time been
put into force to wipe out "Tatter
sail $, - hut without success. The New
south Wales government by act of par
lament drove Adams from Sydney, and
ne without delay settled in Brisbane.
After ~ months location there the
queensland parliament did the same
hing, and Hobart was the next site re-
moved to and where the sweeps are
nerrily conducted now under the PATRON
ge III person of the prominent citizens.
