SOUTH WAIRARAP.A TROTTING CLUB. THE ANNUAL MEETING. (By Our Own Corresponcfent.)

The weather was fine, though threatening. The attendance was variously estimated at from 1500 to 2000, and the gathering was of a most orderly character. The course was an splendid order, and the racing was good throughout, some of . the finishes notably that in the Mahupuku Memorial Trot— being most exciting. The arrangements were satisfactorily carried out by the secretary (Mr Walter Armstrong) , and an energetic body of stewards. Mr Hugh Morrison acted as judge, and Mr A. Comette as starter. Both of these officials gave every satisfaction. A sum of £3223 was put through the tot-alisator. which is an increase of about £I3OO on the amount invested at the pre • vious meeting.
