Races are being held at Otaki, and, _as the Railway Department failed to provide any facilities, motor-cars were resorted I to by most Wellingtonians who desired' to attend the meeting. The bookings' to stations near Otaki numbered from 50 to 60. To-night there will be a reunion, of early settlers at the Town Hall.
