MISCELLANEOUS. At the suggestion of Mr W. F. Outward it was decided to accept entries for the kennel show in accordance with the recommendation of the N.Z. Kennel at the rates ruling in their own clubs. There was considerable discussion as to competition of professionals in connection with O’Neill’s bnckjampers. It was held that amateurs would be disinclined to enter if professional entries were allowed. It was finally decided not to accept O'NeiU’s entries for the riding, jumping, or driving competitions, but not to bar the horses, etc., of professionals where shown in the schedule classes — thus barrihg the professional man or 'woman but hot the horse.
