TIIE EGMONT RACING CLUB. At thd annual meeting of the aboni cn Thursday, it was stated the jreatr*# operations had resulted in a profit of ' ■Cl(ion, which waa devoted to patriotia purposes. The total income wat £12,647. The Government's taxation iook £3(157-. The capital account stands jat vCI 1,082. The policy of the chlb, j said Mr.. J. Quiii, the chairman, had been | to write off improvements as speedily as : [possible. Had the olub acquired the i property upon which they raced to-day, ind place upon it the improvements thai were there at the present time, in all) probability the cost would, exceed £20,000, but it hc.d to be remembered , that improvements were only from a racing club's point of /View, audi would be of comparatively little valud 1 were racing abolished. He bad bMB told that there was a probability o^ 1 the Taxation Department asking ihei 1 club to prty a tax in respect of tbeilf. profits. Seeing that they had already), paid this year something like £I9OO ii|j special war taxation, and had in addWj tion voted all their profits to the various' patriotic funds, it appeared very mncli' like riding the willing horie to deattyi to now ask them to pay a further ad« f ditoinal tax in respect of money? theyf had already given away to assist'; soldiers and those suffering in que.nce of the war. , vi The election of resulted as foWl lows: Vice-president Mr. A.
