There are, however, seme ] .amts on which no she.ula wish, (o have amendments to the Rules f.t Racing or an alteration in some o' the customs obtaining un sonic racecourse;- which wc should wii-h to brine: under your consideration. .May we ask you to grant us an interview in order that we may submit to you respectfully the points on which we consider the New Zealand Racing Conference might grant ns concessions?”

Sir George ClilTord has “ent the following reply to each petitioner;—"ln reply to your request for an interview io place liefore me certain requests, I wish to state that I shall be very pleased to meet you or any representatives you may select from among the licensed jockeys. \v hat ever requests you may make slui'l be placed fairly before the Racing Conference and receive full consideration. 1\ Idle glad to meet yon for a friendly talk on these subjects, I may explain that my reason for declining to confer with the New Zealand Jockeys.’ Association was because I was sure it did not represent the true feeling of the jockeys who had been led to join it, ami because it claimed an interference with details of racing management which would have b-cn injurious alike to owner- - , trainers . and jockeys and to the public. I expect to be in Wellington on Saturday, -day 20. and would be glad to meet any of your number whom you may depute for that purpose at 11.."0 a.in. on that day at the office-- of the Wellington Racing (dub.” The president has also received a letter from a prominent jockey enclosing a list containing the names of id jockeys who have resigned from the -Jockeys' .Vaocialion.
