HOROWHENUA RACING CLUB.

By Telegraph —Press Association. Wellington, Friday. A deputation representing the Horowhenun Racing Club waited on Mr. Buddo to-day to protest against the proposed extinction of the club as recommended by the Racing Commission. Mr. Field, M.P., said the proposed extinction of the club was a gross and wanton use of the Act. If the club was snuffed out the destruction of the Horowhenua A. and P. Association would follow. The Minister said the recommendations of the commission were law, and would come into effect on August 1. Mr. Field thought it was possible, kuowing as he did the temper of the House, that every other racing club in New Zealand might find itself without a totalisator or bookmaker after tkis.
