A NEW TOTALISATOR

At a recent Queensland race meeting a new totalisstor was tried, and found to ba highly successful. A writer m the Austral lasian speaks very highly of the machines He bays:—Mr Hodsdon haa adopted the term " totaliser " for his invention. The word likes me well. It Is preferable to " totaliaator," io that it ia a syllable shorter, is more easily pronounced, and expresses the same idea, ; But, colloquially, both worda giva way to the diminutive "tore." Tha machine, with expert operator*, ia, n>ade to ias>ue 600 tickets a minute. It will be readily onderatood how capable it is of withstanding a rush. When a raoe ia started an electric button is pressed m the judge's box, communicating the fact to tho totalisator house; then down go the shutters, and the operators, which include several lady clerks, prepare to pay out the dividends, The Hodsdon machine is at great an advancement upon the ordinary totaiitator aa the linotype m upon the man with tha ■tick and rule which it has superseded,

THE EAST EYRETON MURDERS.

I'he following appears iix the Otago Daily Times of yesterday:—Mr W D Mason, of Waihola, from the descriptions that) have neen publUhed of the man Alexander McLean, who has confessed to the Eyreton murders, identifies him a* a man who came "ewagging" bo his place m 1899, and was given employment by him. Mr Ma&or p'aeed Mac Lean to some ditching work, and m the performance of this MreLeem ot»t his foot severely near the toe with the rpade. After this Mr Mason nrtloed symptoms of strangeness about, MaeLean ; the mac refused his food, and, when remonstrated with, threatened to drown himeelf, Ib was six week* later before Mac Loan was able to resume work. Mr Mison then pvst him to following horses wiih a roller. DnemoroiDg, when he w»« called to his work, Mso Lean reaponded quite cheerily, but the next that was ceen of him was that he waa making straight for the hilla. Be was not found for two day*,, at the end of which time Mr SiccUir, manager for Mr Lice Smith, die— » covered him sitting on the Waihola wharf He had accomplished si circuit of 16 or 17 miles to re*ch that place. Mr Mason! persuaded Mac Lean to return to his work, but the latter repeated to him that he \ thought It would be better that he were out j of the world, and said that when his fir* came on he had no control over himeelf. He also told Mr Metson that on one occasion he had wandered away from a relative's place m Australia, andr that when h« cami to himself he was hundreds of miles away from it. Mis atrange demeanour while &b Waiholft was, it may be added, noticed also by Mr Duff and others*

A MYSTERIOUS STRANGER.

A ooi respondent writes s — Apropos of the Eyretou murderer—On the afternoon of Wednesday, the 26th inst, a man arrived at Mount Possession Station, riding a dark brown horse, and anewering m many particulars the description published of McLean* the peculiarity of the feet being particularly noticeable. What he did not answer was tba question as fee bis name which he absolutely refused to disclose, saying that it did nob matter Up to bhat point he had been very communicative. He had travelled he said from the West Coast, havingistarted|witih a horse acd trap, and wae. enronte to Australia to join some relatives'*' He produced from a pocket a roll of notes which he laid be had made by mining, and bontfully added that there was plenty of the same aert m his swag. It is customary to sn'er m the Station diary the names of all oallera, and if to the qcee tion asked for this purpose he had replied Jobu Brown or anything else, suspicion would not> have been aroused. Aa it wai, the mac'i evident reluotanca to comply caused his questioner to regard him so critically, that ha decided not to remain for rhe night as he bad intended, and rode away at 3 30, after remaining a little over ai hour. He wat seen the ;s»me evening riding through Mount Romer . The club feet, apparent age and other deacriptiouß coupled with the tuspioioua manner may ne merely a coinoideooe, if it ii more, and there is a missing horse. The above may afford a cine to the searchers.
