Brighten Betting

Several methods of betting at future race meetings at Kwan- ti were discussed at the annual meeting of the Fanling Hunt and Race Club which took place yesterday, over which Mr. M. M. Watson presided. One idea was to have one pool only, to give 80 percent to the winner, 15 to the second and 5 to the third.· Another suggestion was to have "This and The Next, which meant the nomination of two consecutive winners. On a pro- gramme of six races, this would mean five "daily doubles."

It was decided to allow the present system to operate for one more meeting before considering any change. "A winning tote, however, will be introduced at the next meeting.

The accounts for the year were in a satisfactory state, and heavy economies have resulted in a profit of $3,070.66.

The result of "the Expenditure and Income Account is that pro- fit of $3,070.60 was made, which is a very satisfactory increase on the previous season, and in. particular in view of the large amount which at the same time has been written of for depreciation.
