ASHBURTON TROTS. THE CONCLUDING EVENTS. \ The Ashburton Trotting Club may be congratulated on the outstanding success of its winter meeting, which was held on the Ashburton racecourse on Saturday. It held all the elements of a really enjoyable outing for followers of trotting horses. Perfect weather prevailed for all but the last event, there was a larger attendance than usual, the fields were 1 large and held some excellent horses, most of the finished were exciting, times were good, and patrons were in | a speculative mood, the totalisator handling a considerably larger sum than for the winter meeting in 1928. 'The total handled by the machine was £22,791 compared with £17,379 last year. There was not a hitch in the club’s arrangements and though the last race was fifteen minutes behind the set starting time, the delay could well be afforded.
