To prevent the clashing of dates when floating permits are available, as Was the case with the last To Aroha Trotting Club's meeting and the Franklin Racing 'Club's fixture, the Te Aroha Trotting Club'is proposing that .ifoating permits be not granted in futuro to any club , when' the date given on the permit clashes with any fixture of any other club in the same provincial area. A remit to this : effect will bo considered at the conference, •• , A MINIMUM WEIGHT. Frequently tlio opinion has been expressed that a rule was needed dealing with Weight in harness races, just as applies in saddle eveuts. In Australia the minimum weight of a driver must be list, and it is interesting to note that at the Trotting Conference next month the Wcstport "Club is bringing up a remit which has for its object the introduction of a rule similar to that '-applying ill j Australia. This is one remit -that .should receive the unanimous support Of all the delegates. RELIEF MEASURES; . With- a. view- to affording relief to clubs, owners and trainers regarding annual fees and levies now payable, the Auckland Trotting CJub is presenting a remit to the conference Which -asks tile executive of that body 1 to submit to the next annual meeting a report on the annual receipts and workiiig' expenses} and the' asset's and funds of .the conference, the association, and provident fund trustees, together with its recommendation thereon, with such alteration of the rules as may be necessary to give effect thereto.
