Miss Edna Perry has kindly'consented to sing. The Kumara Racing Club has decided to suspend racing for th© duration of the war. Such boing tho case the day allotted to Kumara by the District Committee on Monday night is now available for the Westport Jockey Club. Should that Club not feci disposed to take up tho available permit, the Reefton and Hokitika Clubs are to agree between themselves which will utilise the permit. Tho New Zealand Trotting Conference, in acordanoe with the agreement with the Minister of Internal Affairs, is calling on the totalisator clubs to reduce their racing days by ono-third. In the case of one day clubs this request produces a' mathematical .difficulty. The Westland Trotting Club, however, in order to comply with the spirit of the request and to show a desire to meet requirements as far as possible, has offered to arrange with some other ono-day club on the Coast to trot on alternate years for the duration of the war. Thero arc nine trotting days on the Coast, so that the offer .made accounts for one of the three days’ reduction. From the remaining seven days, two days still require to bo deducted, and this should be arrived at without any undue hardship to West Coast trotting.
