It; was explained by the mover that there! was a tendency on the part of trainersj to append their signatures without. j beiug awarc of the true ability of tlie applicant. Wheu put to the meeting, the motioiC was lost by .19 votes to 22, several j speakers explaining that in their dis- j tricts members of clubs or district ! conimittces attended the tracks to see the apprentices ride in work. in ! others, there were qualilied officials who! inspected the youuger riders at the request of the club handling the applications.
