Horse Racing Has Come Back Into
Its Own and Is Popular All
Over Country
BY Associated Press

Associated
London, October 10.-HOrse racing,
like every other kind of sport here, has
experienced a great boom since the war
and consequently the gambling habit has
increased
Promoters of race meetings all over the
country announce that record crowds
have attended the fixtures while the
number of horses entered for the races
are already up to pre-war proportions
Racing is carried on all the year round
and scarcely does day pass without a
meeting of some kind being held in some
part of the country. 1t is divided into two
catagories-flat racing, which commences
in March and ends in November and
steeplachasing which finishes ont the
year.
At the classic" meeting held at EPSON,
Goodwood and Ascot practically all the
aristocrats of the turf congregate. En-
tertaing takes place on a large scale and
the women vie with each other in dis
playing the latest fashions in dress,
The highest amount paid for the winner
|of race is that for the winner of the
Derby amounting to $4,000
There is more betting on horse racing
than any other sport. The English law
lis peculiar on that point. Betting on the
race course is strictly legal but the pass
ing of betting slips in the streets is con-
sidered serious offence. Yet one may
legally place bets by calling up book
maker on any telephone, or sending name
OF the horse fancied by telegram or
through the post. This anomoly there
fare occurs:
A betting slip with horses name and
an amount of money mentioned if handed
to a bookmaker in the street is an Off
ence punishable by imprisonment Yet
a telegram to the same bookmaker and
containing the same wording handed in
at post office is perfectly legal under
taking, and. incidentally one which is
| largely followed.
ands of PACKERS who make shouseubat
| In the poorer districts where there are
| thousands of hackers" who make bets
varying from a dollar to twelve cents
| the street bookmaker does a roaring trade
although he is liable to arrest and his
business has perforce to be conducted
very secretly as plain clothes police are
always on the look out for him.
