Tho stand was very favourably commented on at our last meeting and should servo tho club for many years to come. It is plousing to noLo that during the year Mrs P. Flan and Messrs J. Nelson and J. Manuel, trainer-owners, have taken up their residence in Foxton and they are favourably impressed with the training track, which, together with the track proper, has been kept in a good state of repair during tho year.
