.whilst two, others affirmed it was five years. Several men well known in trotlin<r had identified Alexandra Park with , Keel Cloud. Mr. W. E. Simes .said the case was one whioh the association could neither prove nor disprove lie moved that on the evidence before the association no further action be taken. Mr. Mark moved an amendment: that the matter be ndjonrnod pending further inquiries regarding the,age of tho horse. The amendment was agreed to. In regard to the Teviotdale case it was ' resolved that Stringer, the owner of the P' horse, and MncGregor, the trainer, shonld ■ bo disqualified, for life for a contravention of 'tlie rules of trotting. Regarding the Sagmoor Ville. case, an inqurywac Tccieved from \V.H. Morti- . mer.asto whether the association would register tho horse if it was brought back to New Zealand. It was decided to take no further action.' The , discjualificaton was removed from . J. -"\V. Burko and 'R. Burke. The explanation of the Foibury Trot- e] tiiig Club re R. Logan's.-and T. E.

C Nearly twelve months have elapsed 1 since Castalia won the Avondnle Stakes Jj and the question as to who should re- G ceive the breeder's allowance of 25 sovs. i has only just been finally decided. In J the first instance the Avondale Jockey- £ Club awarded the allowance to Mr. Hill, • « o\rner of the dam at the time of mating, £ but-on appeal the money was awarded to c Mr \F. Hall, owneT of Caetalia, and v owner of the. dam at the:time of foaling, p The New Racing' Conference re- n cently ro-opened' the question at the ,re : o nuest of the Avondale Jockey Club, { . ■n-hich bidy -was not aware of the pace of meeting at the time tho appeal judges ...j eat. Tho final judgment has now bep : given as follows:—;. ■ ~•• , ' "The N.Z. ■ Racing Conference arbitra- • tors appointed.by consent of the parties in the dispute «s to the payment of 25 sovereigns to the brecderof thewinn|r -oi the Avondale 'Stakes' in 1913 hereby decide j that the'word ■'breeder' is m the . of the breeder of a foal clearly connned. « for all stud book and racing purposes to the owneri : of tho dam at the time.when siich foal was dropped. Under the cir- ( oumstanecs the arbitrators further decide that' there was no power inherent in tho i, stewards or committee of the club to vary, the' plain meaning of the word breeder « as so used and' therefore direct that the sum allocated to "the breeder of Castalia bo paid to Mv. F. Hall, who it is f admitted, purchased her dam prior to the day "on which: 'Castalia' was foaled. 1 Signed, Geo. Clifford, C C. Dalgety, H. Friedlander, arbitrators. ", .;• ,
