AN INCORPORATED CLUB

A resolution that the Wellington Eacing Club should be incorporated as an incorporated society under the provisions of the Incorporated Societies' Act, 1908, was adopted at the annual meeting of the club's members yesterday afternoon. In explaining the reason for the change, the president (Mr. E. L. Riddiford) stated that it was being done instead of appointing a new trustee in place of the late Mr. O. S. Watkins. Under the club's rules the property and assets of the club had previously been vested in three trustees. It was also stated by one of the stewards that most of the larger clubs were "how becoming incorporated societies, as members were then no longer personally liable, as in the eyes of the law they otherwise were, for the actions and liabilities of the club. ■•- • -
