THE INGLEWOOD CLUB. (From Our Own Correspondent.) A meeting of the. above club was held on Satuiday afternoon, and, though a good many members were unable to attend, there was a fair number present. Mr. A. W. Yeates, president of the club, presided. The principal object for which the meeting was called, viz. the adoptng of rules tor the club, had to be postponed tu a future meeting, as the N.Z. Jersey Breeders’ Association is going to forward draft rules lo this club for its guidance in that important matter, it has been found necessary for the Inglewood Cnib to change its name from “Jersey Breeders Club” to “Jersey Cattle Club, because so may clubs have names that are so nearly like that of tne present association that confusion has at timjrS been caused, ‘"Cattle Club is, therefore, yow the correct title. Mr. E. Griffiths, of New Plymohth, waa present at the meeting, and gave a most interesting address on the breeding and care of Jerseys, and his remarks on the chief points of both the males and females of,the breed were iiistrpvtiYe and interesting, especially to - novices. Ife spoke also, on the subject of in-breeding and of advertising. The chief point on the latter subject that he emphasised was the necessity for having something worth advertising first, and then to keep on with the publicity all the time. Even when ope fiad nothing fqr ipimevßate sale, if only to keep in touch W'tb one’s public and' be kept ip memory.
