Club's meeting, to be held-on December 27 and January 1. The Wellington Racing Club stewards held a meeting last' evening to - discuss the question of pony racing, but nothing/ definite has so far been. decided upon, and the meeting has been adjourned until-after the holidays. . Sir Antrim has been given plenty of solid work at Foxton" since he raced at the Wood--ville meefing last week. He .is. engaged in the Summer Handicap at Awapuni next,week with. 7st. 91b. Last season he was just beaten by a head by Passive, who traversed the milo in lmin. 40sec. Sir Antrim subsequently got the race as Passive, weighed in overweight. r ' ..'. . .„.-.. Like tho Test of humanity, telegraph operators arc.not infallible, and somo of, their errors are not altogether devoid of humour. H. Sadler, the Newmarket (Eng.) trainer, wished Eingstead to ride Little Liane in a race for which she recently catered.-- The jockey named could not give-a definito answer at tho time, and accordingly,-after Jellis had been ; engaged, the trainer wired: "Thanks; have'engaged Jellis." The -wire, as .received by Eingstead' read;- "Thanks; have enjoyed jelly." •'■■■ -.:■: An English visitor who*has'been-spending a few months in Victoria,- and who left for Mew 1 Zealand, this week. (say 3 "javelin") remarked: "I have just been, reading an.article, on racing' in Victoria, in which it is stated that 'the conditions are mucn more satisfactory than they, were ten years ago!'" Then, as he replaced . the pince-nez which he had been polishing, with .his:, handkerchief, he added, "Surely,. old chap, that, can't ,bo so! If it be,-then all I can .say'is, things must have been pretty hot here ten years ago 1 ' 2!aj what?" -■, •'.- . . '. CHRISTCHURCH R.C. ACCEPTANCES.
