POOL QUESTIONS.

LONDON, August 91st. Backing boraca by the pari-mutuel system introduced by the Guardian Pari-Hutuel, Ltd.;a company of which Lord Westbury is chairman, had had almost a week's trial with the close of racing at Windsor, says the Daily Mail.

The directors of the company state that they are quite satisfied with the results so far and are

hopeful of the future, but book- makers claim that the system has proved a complete failure.

The situation is piquant. There is, for instance, the case of Wel come Gift, winner of the first race at Windsor on Friday. The start- ing price of this horse was 5 to 4 against. The pari-mutuel returned the price at 12 to 1 c. Thus with the pari-mutuel a backer had to invest 30s. to win 2s. 6d.

Since the first pari-mutuel pool on Wednesday there have been four instances-three of them occurred on Saturday-ip which the pari mutuel declared all bets void either. Fecause no one backed any horse but the winner or because the winner was not backed at ali.

One bookmaker has informed the Daily Mail that he was, instru- mental in placing an investment of £25 with the pari-mutuel on- Welcome Gift, and the fact that this sum made, the odds so ridiculous is used to illustrate the small amount of the pool.

The Pool.

On the first day a board was dis played outside the company's offices in New Bridge Street, E.C., giving the amount of money invested on the first two races at Kempton Park. The figures were

1ST RACE:- invested to win;

£33 for places.. 2ND RACE-E1D invested to win;

£13 for places.

Then a police officer intervened because a crowd collected in front of the board, and since then the total pool has not been disclosed, although boards showing win and place betting are displayed five. minutes before each race in a room to which the public has necess,

The foregoing are some of the reasons why credit bookmakers are predicting a speedy end to the operations of this particular com- paay.

Mr... W. J. Randall, one of the

managing directors of Guardian Pari-Mutuel, Ltd., said to a Daily Ja ieporter:

The Bois is much larger than Hyde Park, and is situated in the fashionable west-end, gaster of Paris. It is in reality on the out ekirts of the city, but it can be reached in a quarter of an hour by taxicab from the Opéra. It is open day and night.

These guides are alleged to be in league with undesirable who work hand in glove with.. thieves.
