HOUR IS TOO LATE

pOR what reason the Canterbury Club holds back acceptance time till ten o'clock they alone know. . Weights are not declared till 9 p.m., a preposterous hour, and then everybody has to hang on for an hour before the lists are closed. Some years back it was eleven before they closed ; then a cut of an hour was made. '' The handicapper must have his adjustments into the office Well before the hour for declaration; then why the long wait? Practically every club m the country has nine o'clock as acceptance time, and that should be gdocf enough for the C.J.C. But then, of course, the C.J.C. would not deign to notice what another club does.
