TROTTING EVENTS.
ON RACING PROGRAMMES. VIEWS OF NEW ZEALAND BOARD. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. "Racing clubs as a whole do not ajapreciate the full value of trotting events to their programmes. I think we should ask for more in stakes than the average of racing stakes." This remark by the Hon. W. Hayward at a meeting of the board of the New Zealand Trotting Association this morning was endorsed by many other members. The diecussion arose when the Ashburton County Racing Club asked that permission be given to award lees than the sum required under the rules to two trotting events on its programme. The programme was passed subject to the stakes being increased to the average of other events at least. Mr. J. M. Sam6on mentioned that the Racing Conference had objected at one time to trotting events being on programmes of racing clubs, but some of the smaller racing clubs could not carry on without trotting events. Mr. Hayward: Racing clubs regard it as doing a favour to us. Instead of that, we are doing them a favour. We may have to say racing clubs should not have trotting events.
