The President stated that the case of the New Brighton Trotting Club was now in a posiion to be dealt with. He read a letter which had been sent to the Association in duly last by Mr. 11. 0. Duncan, the club's auditor,' who forwarded a copy of circular he had sent to the members of the club with reference to its balance-sheet. Mr. Selig said that when this correspondence came before the Associations it had decided to

write to the club for an explanttion. In) tlie meantime, Mr. E. A, Archer, preev dent of the club, had commenced ut action for damages against the auditor, which, for the time being, stopped »njf ' • further inquiry.
