RACING CLUBS
NO REASON FOR PESSIMISM. STATEMENT BY MR PARRY. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) ROTORUA, This Day. “The present position of racing from its different standpoints in New Zealand,” stated the Hon W. E. Parry (Minister of Internal Affairs), “does not call for any pessimistic note. The various racing clubs, in line with affairs generally in the Dominion today, have had and are still enjoying a buoyant time.” The Minister’s remarks were prompted by the recent opinion expressed by Dr H. Bertram, president of the Rotorua Racing Club, that racing had reached its peak and that there was a possibility of a decline setting in. “I think a better way to obtain an opinion on the position of racing today,” added the Minister, “is to invite individual clubs to report. I am sure there will be no pessimistic note struck.”
