THE PARI-MUTUEL machine

THE PARG-MUTUEL machine
originated in France. Since
1866 tho machine has been
used on all French racc courses.
Pari-mutuels are used on almost
all race tracks on the continent Of
Europe, and in most OF the British
colonies. England and The United
States aro the. only leading ma
tions where tho machines have not
como into general use, and in these
days Of agitation against betting IL
is only n question Of time till the
bookmaker in the United States is
a thing of tho past. The Influence
OF booknia kcrs and their conucc-
tions has delayed the introduction
Of the pari-mutuels in both Eng
land and this country. The same
Influence is doing all within It's
power to prevent the introduction
OF the machines on our trotting
tracks on the Grand circuit.
In France, where pari mutuel
betting is carried on to its great
est extenE, tho commissions de-
ducted are divided between the
management of tho track and the
municipality iu which the track is
located, the latter share going for
the relief Of the poor. In Queens
land, South Australia, Tasmania
and western Australia the slate
levies n tax on the takings Of the
machines. In Tasmania the bal
ance Of the money retained by the
stewards Of the course must be ap.
piled solely for improving the
course or promoting horse-racing.

DtT this is an age of special
I'D lists, and we have them

other walks of lifo. There is no
common school of boxing nova
days. Probably no two men who
have reached the top of the
Queeusberry ladders in recent
years fight alike. The best man in
the game are self-taught.> and fol-
low out ideas of their own.
"If jim Mace lived today and

This may be putting it rather
strongly, but the fact remains that
the days when the blows and
guards were as well defined as the
cuts and parries in saber drill,
have departed. This is the age Of
short uppercuts, loop the loops,
Aunderswings, overswings and what
not, and the man with a new blow
