THE WINTER MEETING.

THE CONCLUDING EVENTS. The Ashburton Trotting Club's winter meeting, held on the Ashbur.ton Racecourse on Saturday, was a. success from whichever angle it was viewed.

By its enterprise the Club has been able to draw the attention of the whole trotting world to its activities and it has well deserved its suCt cess. The totalisator handled £14,855 10s, a big increase on the total of £12,391 put through the machine last year. The win and place system of betting was in vogue, and proved popular.
