WANGANUI.
March 15,
The presentation of a testimonial to Mr Freeman Jackson, the Hon. secretary of the Wanganui Jockey Club, was made at a meeting held last night. The testimonial consists of a very handsome silver epergne side dish and salts, and is worth £200. The presentation was made by Mr 11. Shafto Harrison, the president of the club. Mr Jackson, in replying, traced the history of the club since his connection with it in 1875, and claimed that, in respect of the excellence of the course, and the completeness of arrangement, it stood second to none iv the colony. Since 1875 over £3000 had been spent in permanent improvements, and the club had a credit balance at the bank. The services of Mr Hately as handicapper were referred to in complimentary terms.
