DUKE OF GLOUCESTER
NAME FOR TROTTING GROUND.
PERTH, July 30.
The Lieutenant-Governor (Sir James Mitchell) stated to-day that, unless there was a unanimous wish that it should remain, the Duke of Gloucester desired that his name should be removed from the Western Australian Trotting Association grounds at present knosvn as Gloucester Park. The Duke’s message is a reply to a memorial forivarded to him by a section of members of the association, ivho maintained that the earlier name of Brennan Park (after Mr. James Brennan, first president of the association, svho was associated with the plan to construct the present course) had been made in opposition to the majority, and that the securing of the Duke’s consent to use his name was a move by the executive “not promptec by feelings of loyalty and goodivill, but for a desire to frustrate the ivishes of members not in accord with acts ot its administration?*
