8 : TROTTING

' It THE NEW ZEALAND ASSOCIATION. By Telegraph—Press- Association. Christchurch, Juno 2. ' At a meeting of the Board of the Now i. Zealand .Trotting Association this afternoon an apology for absence was received a from Mr. H. J. Palmer, wlio said he had 1 enlisted for activo service, and was due. i, in Trentham at the end of May. He _ thought members would agree that he had only done his duty, and he took the opportunity of thanking the president and members of the board for kindness extended to him during his term of office. The president (Mr. P. Selig) said that during Mr. Palmer's term of office ho had snown himself a ver'y impartial member of the board, and keenly interested in the welfare of the sport. He would move that the board very willingly grant Mr. Pal- , mcr leave of absence and express to him its appreciation of his loyal and patriotic action. Mr. Nicoll, in seconding the motion, said that Mr. Palmer had been a stranger to most of the members' of the board but he (the speaker) had been impressed by his obvious sincerity and'the keen desire he had shown to do all ho could for the benefit of the sport. He would suggest that an official letter should bo sent to Mr. Palmer conveying tlio ooards resolution. 'I'hfS was agreed to and the question of making a suitable presentation to Mr. Palmer was referred to jjli*. iMicoll and tho secretary. A letter • was. received from tho West Australian [rotting Association, asking tho boards opinion in regard to a. conierenco to endeavour to bring about uniformity in the rules in Australia and iNew Zealand. The president said ho would be asking for leave of absence, and would bo proceeding to Sydney,, and if while there he could do anything for the New Zealand Trotting Association, }io would bo only too pleased to do so. It was decided to write to the West AnsAssociation aml tho New' South Wales Trotting Club, giving the dates on which the president would be in Sydney, leaving it to them to arrange a conference if they thought advisable. Tho Minister of Internal Affairs wrote forwarding a copy of the letter lie had seat to the Northern Trotting Horse Owners, Breeders, and Trainers' Association, in reference, to that body's dispute witu tlio Auckland Trotting Club, stating that after investigation lie did not feel called upon to interfere in a matter that had already been dealt with by tho governmg body. The president said that it was gratifying to find that the board's position as the Court of Appeal in the sport was recognised by the Minister . ■ The Forbury Park Trotting Club forwarded particulars of tho inquiry into the running of Nora M'Kinney-. Tlio stewards had decided to take no action, but considered the case suspicious. It was decided to write to tlio club pointing out that its proccduro was wrong under tho rules, as tho inquiry should hnvo been conducted as on a protest. It was resolved: "That as S"on as ll» Military Service Bill now before Uio Houso becomes law the resolution pas*--.-by tlio board declining to grant licons's to single men eligible for enlistment be | rescinded." J The president stated that ho had been

making inquiries regarding the finances of the association, and tho secretary had taken out somo figures dealing with tho board's position. It seemed to him that tlicy required additional revenue, and it was decided to propose at tho,coining conlorlmco that the fee for trainers' licenses and riders and drivers' licenses be raised to 7s. (id. eacli, and tho fee for registration .of joint interests be raised to 10s. Mr. Selig was granted leave of nbsenco during his visit to Sydney. CANTERBURY PARK ACCEPTANCES.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

[By Glencob.l OTAKI MEETING. The winter meeting of tho Otaki Maori Racing Club opens to-day, and will be concluded on Jlonday. Special excursion trains .willleave. Thorndon. Station at 7.45 a.m., 8.45 a.m., and 9.21 a.m., and, judging by tho demand for tickets, tliere is likely to be a record attendance. ' ! ' Backers will bo faced with a big field in the Maiden :ltace,_ but as there is a straight run of-two furlongs at tho start,' the draw will" not 'in'<tke"(is' mu'cl"difference as when the race was started on th'e bend. The tfell-.backed • division will include Revocation, a lialf-brotlier to Encore, and a good beginner. Pergola,- Sylviaroa, Battle Tide, and Merry Andrew, all of whom have teen placed in previous starts. In the Hack Flying Handicap there aro somo very speedy horses, including Shaki, Limpet, Lady Black, Samisen,-an£l Antwerp. Tho majority of the. runners would lie better suited were tho distance a furlong less,' but tho top-weight has won over sis fnrlongs, and goes a mile, fairly well. Darby Paul is .top-weight- in the Hack Steeplechase, the field for which will include a lot of half-ready horses. ' Nit a will bo disadvantaged 1 because the fences are not big, and Paremata should be a better horse for the Tace ho had at Wanganui. The top-weight stays on well, and the distance will suit him. Kooya, who is to have Oliver'G services, may be the choice in the Cup, though there will bo strong support forthcoming for several of the others, Lady Louisa, Square Deal, and George. Ivooya's performances, in tho past suggest that she is in a higher class than tho remainder of the field: ■ I Cello's 101b. penalty should bring him back to the others in the mile . hack l'acc, in whioh Paraoa should do better than ho did at Wanganui, where ho got a .bad run. \ Eoro has won-at her 1 last two starts, and Silenus 'scored a ; decisivo victory, over this "distance at. ■ Hawera, the Ixiaten, division including Henri Clay and Ticino, recent winners. . The Kahui Handicap -wears an . open appearance. Daytimo is top-weight, and may be -very hard to beat, but on-good going Depredation should • improve on his Wanganui' form. Sedd nl Bahr can hardly bo at his best, but Husliabye will bo a strong order, as at (Hastings she finished within a head of Greenstreet, and the English filly lias since wona^ain. The Birthday Hack Welter Handicap, seven furlongs, is the concluding event. Hie list includes many winners, and about-three distinct classes.. The draw at the "post will have a,-lot to do with tlio result, and if Kukri or Crown Imperial II secure good positions, they will' bo well supported. The last named is an improved horse, and will get- tho distanco well. . AUCKLAND MEETING. The 'winter ■ meeting >of tho'Auckland Racing Club ..will commence at EUerslie to-day. l - Several-of tho .acceptors in the Maiden Steeplechase are engaged in tho Great Northern Steeples on Monday, and as no penalty follows a win, tho opportunity will no doubt bo taken of giving Ujom a public schooling. Waimai, one of the well-backed division in Monday's race, is top-weight, with 12st., but as ho and his pilot know tho country well, it is not a prohibitive impost. There aro thirty acceptors in the Jervois Handicap, and the majority of them will go to the post. They .aro not a high-class lot; and the Karamu-bred Aurore and Scrutineer aro as well performed as any of the others. In the Great Northern Hurdles Pursefiller may bo as good a. favourito as El Gallo," and with a pull of 201b. in tho weights she may be eapablo of seeing out tlie jouruey to.tho bitter cud. El GflllOt Harbour Light, and"Gladful' should all be in tlie lighting Jineat the finish. Battlo Evo may ..have, most followers in the Cornwall-Handicap,-as. :hd, is. most leniently.'treated, but the distanco is a trillo further than he cares to go gener-. ally.' ' Multiply won the big handicap at th 0 Auckland meeting, and in S. .Howl's hands "he does-better than for most other horsemen,'. Dribble is to haye : improved a' lot, arid her peoplo givo- her a nood chance of success. . There- are some very fast beginners .'in tho Members' Handicap, five furlongs, notably Tatterley.'.Hyginas, Hushman, Marimba, and Itoval Chef. Tho two latter are able to .So as fast as the next ■ best, arid the vaoing-they have had latcly should make them see out tho distance well. Each has' won at its last two starts.-
