Time, lmiti 4 2-ssec, "Owner writes to the Editor:— "l' must protest most emphatically against the way the Otaki Maori Racing Club is treating owners in the. matter of publishing the weights fat the epring meet ing. It was originally published that the handicaps were being delayed until th© Dannevirke meeting was concluded. Surely then w© were entitled to their publication to-day, but now I understand we are not to se^ them until to-morrow. Is thie the way to treat owners who j have but twenty-four hours in which to confer with their trainers before making up their minds whether or not they will accept? If the acceptances i-eceived are poor the officials oi the club will have no one to blame bitt themselves. " An official of tlvj club point* out that (he official programme states "weights ' will be declared on of about Thuredaj, j 14th September."
