LARGEST UNDERGROUND

STATION.

TO BE READY THIS YEAR.

The world's largest underground station, and probably the most in- genious and intricate railway station, is to be, presented to Londoners at the end of the year.

BOOKMAKER LOSES CASE AGAINST BACKER:

An important case with regard to the batting tax was beard at Westminster County Court when Mesers. Ladbroke and Company, turf commission agents, of Old Burlington-street, W., sued Mr. John Ingram, soft goods merchant, of Friday-street," EC., for £80 15.

It is Piccadilly, the new Under- ground achievement, and the Inst Mr. Roland Oliver, K.C., said the word in subterranear accomplish case was of a somewhat novel char- ment, which to-day is publicly repre-acter. sented by a four-square hoarding where Eros once stood.

Millions of people pass this spot every day. In omnibuses, in motor- care and on fact, they revolve around London's most offensive eye sore with blasé cynicism.

They have long since abandoned conjecture; they are tired of object ing to this hideous chicken coop," they pass it without notice. And yet barely eighteen inches beneath the roadway is a web-like framework of steel, and hundreds of workmen are busy with pick and spade digging the cool damp gravel where next Christmas will be one of the under ground wonders of the world.

Vivid Triumph.

Now, in its unfinished state, it is a vivid engineering triumph. To morrow, when thousands brilliantly

I have lain fat on my stomach and, chin in hands, gazed Across a lilliputian booking hall barely three feet high where work- men, on their hands and knees, pushed small trucks along a mine- like railway with the gravel that is swung into the full view of Piccadil- ly by the small familiar crane that is almost a permanent pices of West End scenery-

Inescapable Romance.

This romance is inescapable. What a contrast with the modern "paasimetre," the glitter of green and white tile, the silent motion of escalators! It is all there in embryo.

How Tax Is Paid. Mr. Derrick Crimp, a' director of Ladbroke and Company, said the firm paid the tax on all stake. There were two methods followed in regard to the tax. Under the first method if a man put & £10 stake on a horse and he lost, Messrs. Ladbroke would send him an account for £10 and for 71 in respect of the 34 per cens, duty

Judge Sir Alfred Tobin: If the laser does not pay you cannot re- cover the stake f—No,

And I do not suppose you have tried to recover the s. duty -This is the first case.

Under the second method, said Mr. Crimp, the 34 per cent, duty was deducted from the backer's winnings.

Mr. Dawson, defending, submit- ted that before the backer became liable there must be shown a very clear promise or agreement by the. hacker that he would either pay or share the burden of the tax.

Judge Sir Alfred Tobin said he declined to draw on inference that there was an implied agreement by

the backer to recoup the book-
