FOXTON RACING CLUB PROTEST.
SUPPORT FROM FEILDING. For 50 years the Foxton Racing Club has held its picnic race meeting on Anniversary Day—January 22. So far. as the district is concerned, Foxton has had this date to itself but the Racing Conference has now granted to the Wanganui Trotting Club a permit to hold a meeting at Wanganui on January 22. Foxton has been protesting, and this week received the support, of the Fcilding Jockey Cluh Committee, which passed the following resolu-. lion: That this committee views with alarm the. decision of the Wanganui Trotting Club 1o hold a trotting meeting on January 22, Anniversary Day. The principle involved is so important, namely, taking a day for its meeting that has been held by the Foxton Racing Chib for some 50 years, (hat we feel we must emphatically protest against this being granted. We further object, to any trotting club being granted a permit for any day on which a registered Racing Club in the same metropolitan district is holding a meeting. A copy of this- resolution to he sent to the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Racing Conference.
