Feilding Races
Oxtb contemporary the Manawatu Daily Times, in ita report of the Feilding Easter Baces, while giving a considerable amount of gratuitous advice to the stewards, also availed himself of the opportunity to give vent to a spirit of malice and faultfinding that was quite.unjustifiable. As the publio was quite satisfied with the races, together with the general accommodation provided by the stewards. and the latter believe they are competent to manage the business entrusted to them, such advice is quite uncalled for. But the bad spirit ia further exhibited in a separate article headed " A rank swindle." An account is given of a fraud, concocted in Palmerston, by Palmerston men. and attempted to be carried out on the Feilding course. The article concludes, "A more glaring case of rascality never occurred." We think our contemporary has been in this matter hasty and indiscreet. If the writer of the article in question had not desired to cast a slur on the stewards of the Feilding Eaces he would not have been so effusively virtuous. The affair will be brought up before the stewards at their meeting next Saturday evening, when it will be thoroughly ventilated.
