As a protest against this, a number of horse-owners of the district, some of whom are very prominent members of the Association, resigned from that body. The Agricultural and Pastoral Association have reconsidered their decision, and rather than lose valuable members have dropped the matter altogether. They wrote regretting the misunderstanding that had occurred, stating that the Association iiad no wish to interfere with the business of horseowners.
