The decision of the Amberlev and' Hornrnta Racing Clubs to hold a combined race meeting at Riccarton on Yaturdry, May 2, seems likely to prove a great success. The nominations closed on Friday night, and they totalled 203. A susual, the two trotting (‘vents tilled partieular'y well, with thirty-nine and forty-one horses respectively. The galloping races also drew strong support, the nurm.errauging from sixteen up to twentyeight.. Christchurch stables will provide the backbone of the fields, but the presence of a number of horses from Otago, South Canterbury, and the West Coast will give a wide interest to the racing.

At the Magistrate’s Court, Grevmouth. yesterday. lan McMillan was charged with fishing with a net in the Grey River, within the Grey Acclimatisation District, at a place above Tainui Street, contrary to regulation 12 of the regulations for trout fishing in the district. The Senior-Sergeant stated that in the past there had been a considerable amount of poaching in the river, by means of set nets. Some fishermen had apparently been setting nets at night near the- Codben bridge. Although they were herring nets, it was alleged that small trout were caught. That was why Tainui Street was fixed as the boundary. There ban been several complaints about poaching, but it was very difficult to catch the offenders. In the present case, he had no doubt that the boy was fpiite innocent, so far as poaching was concerned,, hut if any other offenders came before the Court, lie suggested they should be dealt with very seriously. The regulations provided a minimum fine of £2, and a maximum of £SO. “I don’t regard this as a serious offence,” said the S.M. “I don’t think there was any deliberate intention to net trout, that the regulations are made to protect.” He inflicted the minimum fine of £2, with 13s costs.

Air James Burns of Sydney, who l will be remembered as being associated with the Rimu Flat gold dredging proposition prior to the present Company taking over the field, in a letter to a friend here, .regrets his inability of crossing for the, late launching of the new dredge on tlie claim. Mr Burns has kept in touch with the fortunes of the Company, and lately discussed its fortunes with Mr R. E. Cranston when passing through Sydney. Air Burns expressed pleasure at the programme outlined for the dredge launching celebration, and remarked on the friendly feeling existing between the Company, the employees and the business community. He was much interested to< learn of the improvements being carried out and was imbued with the optimism of Air Cranston In regard to th e . future prospects of the enterprise. Air Burns touches on the turmoil in Federal and State polities and longs for the change which is inevitable when the next ‘appeal is made to the public. At the time of writing Air Burns had just read in the Sydney press of the fire on the Hokitika racecourse, and knowing the appointments there expressed his sympathy with the townspeople in the loss of such a fine asset to the place. Air Burns concludes with cheeful good wishes to all old friends who remember him while resident here.
