WELLINGTON
This day.
The annual meeting of the Racing Club was held last night. The report showed the past season had been most successful, the Club having reduced the overdraft by nearly £200. The principle of appointing one handicapper for the colony was approved of, but the details were left for future arrangement, when the stewards meet on Wednesday next to consider the advisability of holding a Spring meeting.
The Hospital enquiry resumed yester day. The chief [witness was Dr Gillon, the house surgeon, who submitted a lengthy exhaustive statement of management, showing the difficulties he had to deal with on account of no rules being in existence. For instance he found he had no real authority to the changing or creating the honorary staff, which also created difficulties which would not be dealt with in absence of rules consequently. The Hospital had greatly improved while in the hands of the Council. He praised the steward and matron for the manner they had carried out thoir duties. He never knew either tho fworse of liquor. The other witnesses evidence was unimportant.
