The committee of the South Canterbury Hunt Club today decided to protest against the action of the Racing Conference in deciding that after January 1, 1936, no hunt club shall include a trotting event at a totalisator meeting. It was felt that the South Canterbury Hunt Club was: obliged to consider the interests of farmers over whose country it hunted and to stage a trotting race, especially as jumping and hunters' events were so well catered for. on• the programme.
It was considered that hunt clubs concerned should have been consulted before the resolution was passed, and it was decided to ask the Christchurch, Waimate, Otago, and Birchwood Hunts to be associated with the protest.
