SPORT OF RACING
VIEWS OF HON. W. E. PARRY ABRUPT .TERMINATION NOT FAVOURED. ADDRESS TO CONFERENCE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. In an address to the Racing Conference, the Minister of Internal Affairs (Mr Parry) said he knew it would be asked whether it was advisable to continue the sport at the present time, but he would say it was inadvisable to cut it off abruptly. In the event of conditions being such that the sport would interfere with the war effort, he felt the racing people would be only too ready to call a halt. There might be certain restrictions later on that might affect racing and other activities, but they would be dealt with as they arose. Wairarapa racing dates were altered as follow: —Masterton, October 17 and 19: Pahiatua, January 25 and 27, 1941. The conference elected the following officers: President, Mr A. S. Elworthy; vice-president, Mr H. R. Chalmers; executive committee. Messrs Motion (Auckland), Wanklyn (Canterbury), Hanlon (Dunedin), Coates (Greymouth), Beatson (Hawke's Bay), Hazlett (Southland). McLeod (Taranaki), Turnbull (Wanganui), Tringham (Wellington).
