THE RACING CONFERENCE.
SIR GEORGE CLIFFORD'S
ADDRESS
(.SPECUIi TO "THH PRESS.") WELLINGTON, July 19. Tho "Evening Post" to-night makes complimentary reference to Sir George Clifford's address at the Racing Conference yesterday. "Sir George's name," it says, "is indelibly and honourably associated with tho Turf in this country, lite is a generous patron of :the sport of racing in the best sense of the term, and for thes© reasons his opinions must be given due weight, even by those who may not ace eye to eye with him. There is not a - sportsman in the community worthy of the name who will not snore with him his expression ot thankfulness that the incubus of the licensed bookmaker, which was foisted on the racing clubs in 1907, has been removed, nor will any fair-minded individual be inclined to quarrel with him when he says that security in the future lies - in establishing in men's minds the conviction that our aims, our processes, and our practices are above suspicion.' That surely is an ideal well worth striving for."
