A letter was received from H. Adhnn, of, Waihi, Waitura, asking for the removal of the disqualification imposed, upon himself and horsra for taking part in an unregistered meeting at Hell Block last December.

The secretary's action in replying that the disqualification could not be removed until twelve months had expired from the date of the unregistered meeting was confirmed. At the request of the Opuriake Racing Club, it was agreed to place on the fotTeit JisV the names of several nominators and horses for non-payment of fees. *

For the TarunaKl Jockey Club's mooting tho committee decided on Dec. 2(1 and 27, 1005 (Christmas j meetin.!?), and March 29 and 30 I (summer jistitU'ng'). ] The :«cr tary of the Now Zealand ] Trotting Association wroto:—"ln a letter iroiu the Turala Miicing Club | in regard to their unregistered noting, it is stated that tho smaller clubs in the district uro compelled to remain unregistered unless they stand down for twelve months, Tho Tarata Club states that this rule strengthens the unregistered clubs instead of doing the revcrso. At a faceting of my Board it was decided to communicate with your Club on. the subject, and ask if you would kindlv furnish any reason why tho prolamines of these clubs (someof which have applied to have the irotting events approved) should noti bo passed."

Tho secretary read tho letter which he had sent in reply explaining ■ Uie rules on the subject. • Section, 7 filiated : "No jockey club shall approve the programme for a club un-

less such club aiiall have fxxa granted and shall then be holding a ccrtfc (icate of registration, under these rules." Rule 5, section 8, bearing on tho same subject, was also quoted in the letter, together with the committee's resolution reading :—■ "Where any persons or horses have been disqualified for upwards of • a year for taking part in unregistered meetings, the committee will consider any application for the removal of such disqualification if accompanied by full particulars and dates and by the recommendation of the committee of tho racing club nearest to where the meeting took place." "You will notice," the letter con- I eluded, "that we have no power to pass such a programme." ■ The secretary's reply was confirmed and in ■discustion it was pointed out that the Conference alone ideals' with applications of clubs for registration, and these had to come before the Conference in July. The application of tho Taranaki Agricultural Society for registration in order to permit of pony events, etc., being run If desired, was n* commended to the Conference for approval.
