At the request of owners and trainers of trotters, the Mayor is sending a wireless message to the Prince of YVales inviting him to witness an exhibition of trotting at the Metropolitan Trotting Club's grounds on Saturday, May 15th., at 3 p.m. This is the afternoon for which the Royal race meeting has been arranged at Riccarton, and Mr. Cothor (acting secretary of the Canterbury Jockey Club), expressed astonishment when the Mayor's action was brought under his notice. "The C.J.C. meeting has nothing to do with the Mayor," he said. "We have received a special permit from the Government, we have made the matter public, and our programme Will be out next week. That is all there is about it." ACCOMMODATION DIFFICULTY. PROPOSALS BY THE GOVERNMENT ! Wellington, Last Nicht. As it is probable visitors will have difficulty in obtaining accommodation during the Prince's visit, the Government has decided to set up an inquiry bureau' at the four principal - centres and the larger towns which the Royal Party will visit. Post Offices, it is considered, will be the best place in which to instal such bureaux, and persons having accommodation to spare will be invited to notify the G.P.O. in their town.
