A PROTEST FROM HAWKES BAY
(BY TELEGRAPH.—iPRESS ASSOCIATION.)
.' NAPIER,' 11th April. A full meeting of the committee of the Hawkes Bay Jockey Club to-day resolved as follows:— "The Hawkes Bay Jockey Club Committee is sincerely grateful to Sir George Clifford for his- action in the direction of representing the opposition of many clubs to the proposed Wellington Race Meeting on 26th April,, as' well as his own protest as president .of the'conference,'and we regret that his representations to the Minister had no effect, and wo fear that the authority of the. Racing Conference and the president's position is being seriously undermined, and the Rules of Racing flouted. The whole question ,6f control is now threatened by the arbitrary action of the Minister, and we therefore urge that the president seriously consider the question of immediately calling a special meeting of the conference to uphold the authority of the ruling body."
