BIG DOG-RACING LOSSES.

BRITISH SPORTSMEN HIT IN FRANCE.

TOTALISATOR BILL DELAY.

PARIE.

Cosses estimated at many thou sands of pounds have been sustained by British who have tried to launch greyhound racing in France.

The troubles of the greyhound racing companies are the result of the delay by the Senate in ratifying the Bill passed by the Chamber of Deputies authorising totalisator "betting at dog-racing weetings.

In any event the necessary law cannot be promulgated until the end of the present year or the be- ginning of 1929.

Meanwhile an army of specula- tors have scrambled to stake out claims in advance in what they thought would be a gold-producing area. An official in constant touch with the question said:

Thousands of pounds have been spent by speculators in Boating prematurely dog-racing companies in France, and in shipping hun- dreds of greyhounds over here in the hope that the totalisator at dog-racing meetings would be speedily authorised. Many of these speculators have eaten up. all their capital, and some of them have sold their dogs and re- turned to England.

It is hoped that the spectacle of Berlin "bathed, in a aca, of light" will prove a great atiraction and will induce zumerous foreign visi. tore to come to the German capital and to compare favourably its night life with that of Paris
