Grogin, Mr Fair, on behalf of Young, urged that Mr Thomas’ argument was fallacious, ~ for lie had been speaking as to the popular meaning of tho word “totalisator” and had forgotten that what the court had to decide was the meaning of the word as defined in 1908. So far as tho interpretation of the . stature was concerned, the word remained the same to-day as it did in 1881. when the original Act legalising the use-of the totalisator was passed. Witnesses for the detenoe in the court below had spoken as to what the public consider the word to mean to-day, hut there is no guide to what legislation meant in 1881. The boxes complained of had none of the characteristics of the original totalisator, and' in the -light of the statute they cannot he considered a

portion of the totalisator. The. essential feature was tho mechanical device for indicating the .(mount laid on each horse and incidentally the total amount laid on a. race. Mr Justice Reed remarked that he wag at a loss to know why the police had brought the prosecution, for there was no allegation of abuse against the metropolitan club. The court reserved its decision.

NOTES AND N KAN'S

Happy Rosa, who showed a return to form on the bind day ot the Addington August .carnival, only laiins one engagement at Alexandra Park, and that is. in the Mountain Trot on the first day. The Great Audubon mare is on a 4,56 mark, which should encourage, her connections to make the tripe but ii !W • act that AY. J. Toinkmson- hi vs not gut her in any other event on Die card would lead to the be I el that her gear is not labelled lor Auckland- , Iloyiake will make his next appearance at the Dunedin spring meeting. The indention of taking .Desert Song to the same fixture to contest the .McLean Stakes will not be carried out. He has gone on the right way up to the present, but it lias been decided not to give him a race till the New Zealand «-un meeting. In the case of the auno.ud youngster, Comique, a waiting policy i.s to tie adopted with her also, and she will not make, her debut until the season is well advanced. The Gisborne representative. White Fang, appears in better condition at the present tune than tor a considerable period, although undoubtedly he would lose caste as the. result of liis effort m the principal handicap' event on the second clay ot the Avondale meeting when he. flushed last. From the time point ot view hi’s gallops at headquarters have not been particularly outstanding, but nevertheless he has got through his work satvsiaetorily, anti a return to his best toriri would see. him go very near to success belore the close of the coining meeting at E'llcrslie.

GISBORNE AMATEUR CLUB

ANNUAL- MEETING

Nearly thirty mcmijcr.s attended the annual meeting of ihe -Gisborne Aihatcur "‘Athletic and .Harrier < hi / at the Borough Council Chambers last night. The meeting was presided over by Mr if. F. roister, ami durmg the proceedings • keen discussions took place -concerning the' administration and preparation for the coming season. The adoption' of the. report and balance sheet was moved by the chairman, who complimented three Inembers of the executive. Messrs H. Fulton, J. N. Fraser and A. Thorpe, iiiion attending thirty-one meetings out ol thirty-two, pointing out that the fact of their attorn.on to the ciuli’s business showed their interest iu its welfare dud- the sport generally. He referred to the successes abroad of Miss Norma "Wilson, stating the club was proud oi her achievements on the Hark at: the Blvm-p-ic Gaines and in England, and likewise her' victories oi' New /-.calami. The chib wa s very pleaseu that the .Eteveneaux Cup bad icon annexed by .he iadios' relay team, the trophy being highly prized by the ladies’ .section, and everyone was delighted to see tlie team perform so well. Mis.s IJixey. one oi the most promising members-, had brought the club further dist.nct-ou by- winn.ng the UfOyds. Members naturally led somewhat disappointed that the Gisborne representatives in the Fai-mei-stou Nofth-Wellington cycle roau race had not done as well as anticipated. due probably to their being unacquainted with tlie course, the exchange of visits oi the Gisborne and Napier clubs' had provided some keen contests, and were the means of cementing friendships among athletes of the*two centres, ae Urgeu that the interchange of teaiim slioind be fostered and encouraged during tlie coining season. The dances organised by the club tyere not so successful as in previous years, one regrettable feature' being the lack ol support by club members. He was pleased to note that a centre iutci been formed, embracing this district and Hawke's .Bay and tvTJs glad to see Napier had been decided on. as headquarters, in future tlie cum would receive more consideration freill the N.X Gouucil than lormerl.v. Tlie Ciuii was deeply indebted to -Messrs W • -Jenkins, A. C. .-wan and Thompson for the capaole manner mi which they perloruicd their duties as managers of visiting teams. Also to Mrs W . Wihou and .Mrs Haisman. who acted as chaperones Mr Haisman had also at c-onssder-ahle expense: conveyed the ladies’ relay team to and irum Wellington. He referred to the success that had attended the efforts oi the retiring dull captain, Mr W. Hanker, who had acted as coach ol the ladies relay team. The club also appreciated the efforts of the country club- in including amateur events in their sports meetings, but at the same lime those clubs realised that amnti ai

.-.■ports wore the only ones that received proper support. The club this year was not in such a good -financial position as it was twelve months ago, due to the. fact that expenses for s touring teams and athletes had been heavy. In seconding the motion -Mr i‘. Fulton referred to the prowess ol Miss Norma Wilson, which hau driven New Zealand a good boost. Tie urged that the ladies’ section oi the club should mnkc_ every ehoyi to retain the Etevencaux' tup-. fie also remarked upon the sweeesstu, culmination of the dub s efforts >« secure a centre, winch he eons dereii would greatly benefit sport in me JJay. Healing with finance, .ho sathat one reason why the funds v,m-e not so large tins year was that only one i.ig sports gathering hau been held, whereas three or lour had been conducted in previous years, addon to which the Olympic fund made a

heavy call on their lands. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as ' follow : —Patron. Mr U. •H. ’Williams,, president. Air H. i‘. Forster ; vice-president, Ur-. Rico and Messrs: A. Ingram, T. R. Gordon, .1 • .T. Innes. J. J. Martin, J. T- Herbert, A. S. Parker. J . E. ivirk, i>. Maher and A. \V. Mason; lion, auditor, Air C. A. Small.;, lion, treasurer, Mr A. Thorpe; lion, secretary, Mr J.

A recommendation was made bv Mr McMahon that n 44Uvcl track should be prepared this season il possible, this suggestion being warmly endorsed by members. Air T. Simile 1 pointed out that the objections made by- the sports bodies controlling the reserve were that the cvelists formed a track which sank and left pools) of water during the winter season, and therefore it would be difficult to obtain nermisshm to form a 440yds track, but he had no doubt the ' snorts bodies Would be prepared to allow the ioriuatiou ol a track on condition an assurance that such track would .he levelled up again was give'll, Mr McMahon inquired the tea •son why the Athene Club did not have as much control over the reserve •as the other bodies. . In reply Mr Smalo detailed Urn terms on'which' the soccer and hockey associations had obtained a lease of the ground from the Morongh Councils At a subsequent meeting ol f* ie new committee'Mr AY. Jenkins was elected chairman.-'
