(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") CIIIUSTCHURCH, This Day. The Banks Peninsula Racing Club's Spring Meeting, scheduled for to-morrow, has been postponed indefinitely, as an "inspection, of the course at .Motukarara shoved that it would be unfit for racing to-morrow consequent on heavy rain this week. The North Canterbury Club had to take similar action last Monday, and the aban-j donment of two meetings in one week is* unprecedented in Canterbury. ■' -'i.A suggestion has been made that:;the two clubs should hold a combined meeting following the Canterbury Jockey Club^s' carnival. The 19th and 26th' November are vacant Saturdays, either of which might prove suitable for a successful meeting, especially if ' arrangements could be made to race at- Rieeai'ton.,

Ihe ib indonment of the two meetings his «eiiou&ly affected the plans of some loeil tiamei^ttith backward holier, and the position Ins been made worse thioti&h rain tins Meek interfering vith tiairung opei itions at Riccarton.
