Many Aucklanders For Taranaki

FOUR IN THE CUP STRONG ACCEPTANCE LIST The Cup meeting of the Taranaki Jockey Club is to be held at New Plymouth on Thursday and Saturday of next week. Acceptances for the first day closed tonight and they are considered most satisfactory.

Auckland Province is to be represented by the following: Ngamotu Juvenile Handicap.—Rose Lupin, Hard Words and Fpot Rule. Flying Handicap.—Paganelli and Eaglet. Moturoa Electric Hack. —Perennis. Taranaki Cup.—Pegaway, Corinax, In the Shad© and Lucy Rose. Timaru Hack Handicap.—Jlavaspot, Te Moia and Joy Germ. In addition. Northerners left in the classic, the Taranaki Stakes, to be run the second day, are Paganelli and Eaglet. The acceptances are as follow:

FEILDING’S PRESIDENT TO RESIDE AT HAMILTON Mr. A. E. Sandford, who for the past 10 years has been manager of the Feilding branch of the Union Bank of Australia, has received notice of his transfer to the Hamilton branch and will leave Feilding on March 25 for his new duties, reports the Manawatu “Standard.” During’ liis residence in Feilding, Mr. Sandford has given freely of his administraxive abilities in public life and his departure will leave a gap hard to be filled. He is president of the F-eilding Jockey Club, and his knowledge of business has proved of great value to the club which, under Ins control, has embarked on a programme of alterations and improvements that, when completed, will give the course few equals outside the metropolitan In other directions, also, Mr. Sandford has proved his worth a.s a citizen of the town. An ardent cricketer, life has done much to foster the king of summer games in the town and district and to this end for some seasons he sportingly “stepped down” to the junior grade, this action helping the young cricketers immensely by reason of the c;nthusiasm encouraged among them for the game. . Sport, however, has not occupied all Mr. Sandford’s time for, between that and his official duties in attending to the financial needs of many of Feilding's large institutions, he has found time to lend a helping hand in the progress of the town, and proof of his ability may be found in the fact on practically all the bodies of which he is a member he occupies the presidential office. Mr. Sandford has filled the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce; president of the Civic Club, president of the Musical Union, president of the Progress League, vice-president of the Polo Club, vice-president of the Motor Club, chairman of the Library Committee, and in addition has occupied positions on other bodies. , , Mrs. Sandford also has helped largely in social affairs ill the town and has lent her aid for the past eight years to the Lytton Street School Committee. In every sense both Mr. and Mrs. Sandford have earned the position they occupy in the affairs of Feilding, and it will he with regret that the news of their departure will be received, although all will congratulate Mr. Sandford on the promotion that has been given him. Mr. Sandford’s successor will be Mr. M. M. G. Thomas, at present accountant in. the Auckland branch of the bank. SMALL BETTORS SHOULD HAVE TEN SHILLING TOTALISATOR The committee of the Woodville Jockey Club considered at length at its meeting last week the introduction of a 10s totalisator. Among the stewards there appeared to be a decided aversion to the idea on the score of extra expenses, and as the gentleman who directed the totalisator naturally gave his opinion against the change, the scheme was dropped. It is always rather amusing, comments “Vedette.” to hear the objections raised against a pro\*sion that should be insisted on by regulation.
