RESOLUTION OF TEACHERS

At the Teachers' Conference last evening, Mr. F. A. Garry (Hawke s Bay) moved:— . • "That this institute views with grave concern the'immoral inftuenoo of many of tho picture films now shown 111 Now Zealand, and in'tho interests of tho young urges the Government to set up a moro vigorous consorship over films which glorify crimo and tho animal passions." ■ . . Mr. Garry read "picture pabulum, to impress upon tho conferonoo what no termed the "harmful rubbish" that was being traded. Miss R. J. Hodgson (Hnwko's Bay) seconded the motion. Sho said that children could not grow up with high ideals if they wero. influenced by the pictures shown to-day. Mr. A. J- C. Hall (Auckland) said that reference to tho posters outsido theatres should bo included in tho motion. This was agreed 10, and tho motion was carried.

most appropriately named. His two wins at Ellorslio were full of merit and when beaten the third day by Killoweu he was giving the Kilbroney colt 181b. I'ho Ohokeborc colt may yet prove that ho is ui tho front rank of tho two-year-olds. Demos, the Demosthenes oolt who won the Juvenile Handicap at Morton, un half-brother to Orleans. Ooolpan, tho run-uer-up, is by tho Australian are Cooltrim from Pastry. , Kiljoy had his second win this season at Greymouth on Thursday. Tho All Bed filly Trentham lt<«o von a sprint race at Greymouth on Thursday Thiß is her first win this season,,but she has run second and third twice since last August. Boee Pink, who races in «» «un» colours as Trentham Hose, ran third in the Greymouth Cup. . Palm Oil, a bay gelding by MamanotoLargcsse, won both of tho two-year-old races at Hastings. Persic, who ran third to Karo and Inn stable mate Pontoon at the last Trentham Meeting, was■ expeoted to show up well, but faded to fill a place duriuK the meeting. , , , The news that Desert Gold is to be sent to Australia for the autumn meetings wil be hailed with delight by sportsmen on both Bides of the Tasman Sea. It is now practically certain that a meeting between tho -champion and Biplane will eventuate at Remington or Eandwiqk. On he first day of tho V 8.0. Meeting Bplano should have an easy task in the St. Lcger, and the mare should not encounter much difficulty in disposing of Lamus and Co. i, the Essendon Stakes, one mile and a quarter. On the third day the 0. M. Hoyd Stakes, wcight-for-age, one mile, would bo a suitable race for the pair, or perhaps the Governor's Plate, one mile and a half, weight for age'would suit as well, in the following month, all going well, tho par snould"again meet at Kandwick. On ho first day tho maro should Pwk «P the valuable Autumn Stakes, and tho colt wi 1 lo in the St. Leger. On the third day there is the All-nged Stakes, one mile, and the Cumberland Stakes, two miles both weight-for-ago events. It is safe to sav that if the meeting between the pair eventuates it will engage a lot of interest and should be a valuable draw card for both the V.B.C. and A.J.O. Asealaphus registered hiii best performance to date when ho won tho Invercarglll Oun Tho Martian Kelding has shown himself a very speedy customer on the traini g tracks, but has not always been nclined to produce his best form in races. Asealaphus is a brother to Vagabond, winner of the Avondale Guineas and Great Northern Guineas this season.
