A letter was received from the Park Committee stating that it was their intention to raise the rent of the Park for sports meetings in future from £lO to £ls. .... It was decided to take no action in the matter of remitting the fine of £1 imposed on F. P. Boyle for looking back in a bicycle race. A quantity of correspondence was'reoeived from John Leggatt, of Wellington, asking for a refund of his nomination and acceptance fees. Leggatt had entered for the Quoits Handicap, on New Year's Day, .but was disqualified by the judge, Mr Chamberlain, for following up his quoit after delivery, and the competitor strongly protested against this, as be thought it con trary to any rule of quoits. After discussion it was deoided to uphold the deoision of the judge, and not to refund the fees. The balance sheet for the oncert, on New Year's Night, was submitted as follows:—Receipts, £7O 13s (£65 148 in 1905); expenses, £33 14s 8d; leaving a profit of £36' 18s 4d. A bonus of £lO 10s was voted to the Secretary for additional work in connection with the concert.
