Windsor. just few minutes

the Ambassador Bridge from De-

Canadian tracks TO get big share
OF the u. S. betting money.
The Canadian government will,
of course, collect the tax on such
wagering, with the u. S. and state
governments getting nothing. AS
an example of how u. S. horse
racing money may alter the rae
ing and tax picture in Canada, II
is pointed out that there was
more money bet at the Detroit
Race Track this season than at all
Of the race tracks in Canada. The
Dominion total was S3S,06d,600
