FEILDING RACES. REGULATIONS FOR BOOKMAKERS. Per Press Association. Feilding, Last Night. The Feilding Jockey Club held a lengthy meeting this afternoon, the problem being the solution of the bookmakers' difficulty. Ultimately it was resolved to license bookmakers under the maximum fee of £2O per day and restrictive conditions, which include the quarantining of bookmakers within special enclosures set, apart inside and | outside the course. There is a large I crowd of bookmakers in Feilding for the races to-morrow and Saturday, but no applications for licenses have yet been received under the new conditions.
