CONFERENCE TO MEET

HEADQUARTERS MAY CHANGE AUCKLAND’S REPRESENTATION The total voting power exercised by delegates to the annual meeting of the New Zealand Racing Conference reaches 49 votes. Of this number the Auckland Province holds eight votes, or about 16 per cent. If the votes were apportioned in respect of the totalisator turnover, then the Auckland Province would be entitled to just twice that per centage. or, in other words, the six delegates from this end would have in ' their hands more than one-third of the full voting powers of delegates. Provincial clubs totalisator investments for this season amount to over £ 1.737.000 Cover £ SOO.OOO is the Auckland Racing Club’s turnover), while the Dominion total (racing only, of course) exceeds £4 881 000. Sirniiarlv with the province- when it comes to the value of stake money and trophies given away. This soars to over £123.000. while the Dominion total is just on £307,000. Shifting Camp There is a motion tu come before the New Zealand Racing Conference on July 11, “that the office of the Conference be moved to "Wellington. Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club delegates will move this resolution, and it is almost certain that that as well as "Wanganui. Taranaki and Wellington, will support it, with tlieir L2 votes, in their own interests, while the South Island delegates will no doubt be found in opposition. With their eight, votes it looks as if the Auckland delegates will be in the enviable —or unenviable (it's just liow you look at it) —position of holding the balance of power. Which ever way the Auckland delegates vote they should be on the winning side on this question However, in the event of the Isew Zealand Racing Conference being stationed at Wellington in future, it is open to question if Auckland clubs will bo any’ better off. Perhaps it may be to the contrary, as has been proven where headquarters of other sports have been located in that city. On the other hand, and getting away from the parochial aspect (so dear to Wellington!) there is little doubt that the presence of racing headquarters in Wellington should make for a morecentral control and easier working. The Delegates

The following is the list of delegates to attend the conference next month, the voting power of the clubs named being shown in parentheses: Auckland Racing Club (4), Mr. H. O. "Nolan, Dr. A. McGregor Grant. Auckland District Clubs (North) (2), Messrs. D. McLeod, L*. W. Nelson. Auckland District Clubs (South) (2), Messrs. G. W. Yercoe, W. H. Wackrow.

Election of President Before the usual meeting of the Conference is opened a special meeting is to bo held for the election of a president to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Sir George Clifford. Racing opinion favours Mr. O. S. Watkins, the vice-president, for this position. The position is a peculiar one. The new president will be elected at about 9.4-3 a.m.. and he will preside over the deliberations of the Conference. Then toward the end of the order paper the delegates will again be called upon to elect a. president for the ensuing 1930-31 season. It is possible that the new president will reign for about three hours only, when he will have to submit to re-election for the ensuing twelve months. NOVICE ’CHASERS GALA DAY AND GAY JIM Gala Day' is due to have his first race over country at the South Canterbury' meeting tomorrow. It is a hack event with a big field, in which Gala Day has the best hurdle credentials. He is reported to have had a good deal of schooling over the Riccarton fences when he shaped satisfaetbrily. although he has not schooled in company. Gay’ Jim (D. O’Connor) and Marco Polo (I. Tilson) were associated in a round of the country at Riccarton on Friday*. The latter gave a good display, and had too much pace for Gay Jim, who. however, was responsible for a promising effort. Gay Jim is engaged at Wash dyke tomorrow. RIDING AT WASHDYKE A. E. ELLIS OVER COUNTRY j A. E. Ellis will have the mount on Radiate in the Otipua Steeplechase at i ” ashdyke tomorrow. Ellis has also i been engaged to ride Ranelagh in the Teach emaker Handicap. Last Mark I in the Rosewill Hack Handicap, and Desert Song in the Electric Stakes. ! TX O'Connor will be riding Lancer j (Tekapo Hurdles), Gay Jim (Gladstone j Steeples), and Sweet Refrain (Rosewill i Handicap). I Pangolin will have F. Thompson. ; who ha a the mount on him at- Wingatui f? ] l is Pilot in the Tekapo Hurdles! He lias been doing satisfactory work at Riccarton since the Dunedin meeting. I __ ,! TOO LATE j An insurance office was rung up tht j other day.’ by' a stranger who inquired: • “I thay. do you intliure motor-cnr,' i against fire and cetera?” “Oh. yes,'" i said the official of the company, ‘ Veil j T vant to inthure mine'' “1 see.

Ben Bineen M-tfl) is a distinct possibility and may upset the hot pots, which are sum to be Parrish Bell© (4.55) and Bln© and Gold (4./*7). This pair have splendid testimonials. Further back Magic t4.-*4) fna Lord Haldane t4.53> will claim a F'of respect Best backed should bo Parrish Belle, Blue and Gold. Lord Haldane. Black Magic. Mangere Handicap (0.06 Limit) There is a good field engaged here, with some classy improvers well back j in the handicap. They will probably find their task difficult chasing a, few I of those further out. There is nothing to appeal on the front line, but on 3.30 j comes Denver City, Rangiha.u and Belle o' Mine, a fair trio. All of these ; have recent form on their side and should be troublesome. Lady Author j is speedy when on the way, but . Marionette reads better. Of the J others most danger threatens from Some Dillon. Kelson Dillon, Arachrm and Trustworthy. Backers may prefer Denver City, Belle o’ Mire, Rangihou. Marionette. Provincial Trot (4.52 Limit) While the field is not unwieldy, there is material for a fine contest. Roma Bingen off the end may go well, but Rangiterc* (4.51) looks to hold her quite safe. The latter’s form at the last few meetings has been sound. Audo Sprav (4.51) will go a solid race and Kolmar (4.45) will be at home if thc=

Akenehi—an improved square-gaiter. track is soft. Paradigm (4.47) has improved a good deal and will require to be reckoned with. Olive Nelson may prefer the later trot, and Home Voyage, an Ashburton showing, will still be handy from a 4.45 mark. The fancies may be. Rangitero, Paradigm, Kolmar, Home Voyage. Mark Memorial Handicap (4.31 Limit) High class is represented in the chief event. Those to appeal most off the limit are Great. Peter. Logan’s Pride and Evelyn Locanda, although Fiorent will be handy. Reremai (4.30) might j have a chance if the track is extra HAWKE’S BAY ACCEPTORS FINE FIELDS FOR FRIDAY PONJOLA HEADS STEEPLES Press Association HASTINGS, Tuesday.

named, being a rare beginner, will find most favour. Stanraoor (2.13) may do better than Laplander and Joy Bird, who are beside him, while on 2.12 ie th© speedy Wilma Dillon. On the same peg is old All Bell, who has a good record in this race. Carmel and Linkman on 2.11 are given encouragement, and Machine Gun (2.10) and Gold Jacket (2.9) cannot be left outer calculations. "Most investments may be for Ngahuia. Warplane, Stanmoor. Wilma Dillon. Marconi Handicap (2.51,1 Limit) A useful field will contest the race of the day, and it contains many solid, pacers. Bencfico and Kichore are the pick of the front brigade but Country King (12) will keep them busy. Then there is the improved Great Ballin on the same line. Gars Awa' and "Woodvale are beside this pair and both can go a merry 19 furlongHal Chimes and Harold Logan appeal strongly off 24 yards, while a point further back comes Mountain Dell and Vecto. When making the final choice backers may prefer Country Kins. Great Ballin, Harold Logan, H*l Chimes. THE ACCEPTANCES Q WINTER HANDICAP Of 1-5 0; limit 5.0: 2 miles Golden Huia . Lt Zanzibar . . .
