Summer Meeting (Anniversary Day). Tho tally reads as follows:—Motorcars, 355; motor-buses, 31; motorcycles. 75; push bicycles, 31; twohorse vehicles, 4; one-horse vehicle, 40: on horseback, 3. In forwarding the return, J jr. Routley said:—"l have written the above information thinking that it might he of some value to you in estimating tho damage to the roads, which I should say is nothing less than £10". with the last two days' races. It seems to me a bid whey for the Government to curtail the trai»s at the expense of the county roads.
