The Wairarapa Racing Club has decided to allow bookmakers on the course at its summer meeting on payment of a fee of £ls inside the lawn, on the flat, and £7 10s outside, one clerk to be allowed each bookmaker. One result of the licensing of bookmakers appears to be the probal i.icy of the advent of pony racing. A meeting was held in Wellington the other day to form a club at which it was stated that negotiations were already piocecding for a course close to tha"city, and all the money necessary to equip it was already subscribed. It is understood the course is at Miramar, where ther« is a large park, once offered to the city, but now in private hands. LOWER VALLEY ACCEPTANCES.

Acceptances for the first day's handicaps, and entries for the Maiden Hack and Hack Scurry, to be run at Martinborough on December 26tb and 27th, will close with the secretary. Mr T. F. Evans, Martinborough, on Saturday next.
