LABOUR DAY
r A PROMINENT pacing official from the Waikato district assured a SUN representative in Wellington yesterday that the Labour Day dispute had been ended once and for all, and that the Waikato Hunt Club would always race on that day. This decision, he declared, was the only one necessary for the Minister to arrive at, for he had no course but to honour the promise of a former M inister. who gave an undertaking that th« Hunt Club would always have L .hour Day. So now Auckland sportsmen will have the choice of two meetings to attend on Labour Day, the Waikato Hunt Club at Cambridge, and the Auckland trots at Alexandra Park. The outcome of all the petty bickering for the past few years has been the entrance of the Auckland Trotting Club into the arena, to the detriment of the Waikato Hunt Club. It is a striking example of the proverb, “United we stand, divided we fall.” The Waikato bodies fell in, and the trotting club falls on its feet. No doubt the Racing Conference tomorrow will make an announcement on the allocation of Labour Day dispute.
