TE AROHA RACING PAEROA CLUB LODGES PROTEST PERMIT REFUSED The projected race meeting that the Te Aroha Jockey Club had hoped to hold on the 21st and 23rd of next month has had to 1 be abandoned in V r ieA\ r of the NeAV Zealand Racing Conference's refusal to grant the necessary permit. This refusal? was based on the Auckland District Racing Committee's .unfavourable recom mendation becausa, of the Paeroa Jockey Club entering a protest to the parent bodly.

The decision will prove disappoint ng to owners, trainers and the race|oing public generally, as it is beieved that the Te Aroha officials ivere given to understand early last iveek that the neighbouring club ivoukl raise no objection to Te Aroha staging a meeting on the pro josed dates. It is also learnt that :he Te Aroha Club had offered to ;liange dates with Paeroa and so £ive that club any possible advan:age of priority.
