) DISTRICT COMMITTEE MEETING. A mm ting of the District Committee ’ Jc.f the Greymouth Jockey < bib was ’ lheld yesterday, when there were pre''sent. Messrs T. E. ’.'cates (chair), A. ’ ißeban, D. J. Evans, W. Partiti, A. E. r Kilgour, and \V. B. Gilber.t. Mr J. O'Brien, ALP., wrote in replv "to the Committee's representations, jithat he was against the increased - | lotal’sator taxation, and was in favour of bets being wired. i R. J. Hower’s application for m .trainer’s license was recommended. . The President suggested that the I various clubs meet before the pro II grammes were drawn up, so that there »‘would be uniformity in them. , Mr Evans said that lie did not think . that the Westland Club would have a hurdle race, but they would put niaid- ( .en and hack races on each day. There would be little if any decrease in thej i

JOCKEY CLUB MEETS. } At the meeting of the Grey mouth I Jockey Club, Mr T. E. Coates presided i over the following members. .Messrs i ' A. Beban, W. Parfitt, J. D. Windham.’ ;H. D. James, (’. L. Kettle, G. R. Ilar-i jker am] K. Williams. < The New Zealand Racing Conference • icported that the Stipmidiary Steward' had reported that attention by thej clubs was inquired in the following j , jmatters: —Faulty starting machines I pind weighing scales, inaccuracies in | ithe compilation of race cards, and the. Diced for stricter control over access to | jockey’s rooms. f Members, generally, expressed the [opinion that any of the faults mention-/ led by tEe Steward were not applicable . [to the Greymouth Club. ’ . Mr W. Colt man was nominated as 'a member. ) | A discussion arose as to the agree-1 |jncnt between the Nelson, Westport I

Imm X. UU.M viuus, US IO LUC OIIHI.II compiiimi'itary tickets. I Mr Beban stated that he was in fa- * vour of Hie abolition of these passes, | lon the ground that their use was being •abused It would be better if a com-i pact were entered into, that Stewards' jonly be given the passes. I I The Chairman said that it would be [better to abandon the agreement alto-i I get her. i Air Beban:—Then I will move thatl [we withdraw entirely from the pact.’ I Mr Williams said that the agreement • had been reached as a result of a conference between the various clubs, and | there should be a conference to do I away with it. The Chairman said that if the list ( were purged, it would be difficult at ‘ times to refuse a pass. . i i Air Beban:—l think we are weak if iwe do not take a stand. Why should .we fill the course with deadheads? J i Alter a further discussion it was’ . decided (hat a conference of the clubs' ibe called to deal with the matter of ' • official and complimentary passes, gen- 4 | erally with a recommendation to the# [club’s delegates that they support the |i [issuing of tickets to Stewards only. I The Chairman, Mr Beban and thej Secretary, Mr Al. J. Fogarty, w’erc ap-? as the club’s delegates. I | The annual meeting was fixed for Fri-j ’day, October 3rd, at 7.30 p.m. [ It was decided that members visit!

[ VETERAN RETIRES. PICTURESQUE FIGURE. (Per Press Association. 1 AUCKLAND, September 4. A decision to retire from the position of clerk of the course at the i various racing and trotting meetings I in Auckland at which he has become a I picturesque figure has been made by Air Arthur Selby. j Writing to the Auckland Trotting i Club, Mr Selby said it was with regret » that he resigned, but he was not as I young as he -was and his scat on a j horse was not so firm. The committee I of the club instructed the secretary to

write to Mr Selby a letter of appreciation of his services. Air Selby has been clerk of the course at Ellerslie for the Auckland Racing Club for 36 years. He. has also acted for the Auckland Trotting Flub at Alexandra Park for 16 or 17 years and for the Takapuna Jockey Club for 25 or 26 years, and the. Avondale Jockey Club for 36 years. All those positions he is now’ relinquishing. From his childhood Mr Selby has been intimately connected wth horses and farming. Born near Sevenoaks, Kent, in 1845, he became at an early ago manager of his father’s farm, and then owner. On selling out, he., cam? to Now Zealand and became partowner of a block of land in Hip Fortymilo Bush, remaining there until 1893. In that year he removed to Auckland, settling at Otahuhu. Air Selby was appointed huntsman to the Pakuranga Hunt in 1894 and filled the position for 22 years. Air Selby 's horse Rainbow won the Avondale Hunt Steeplechase in 1898. TROTTING NOTES. In view of being raced at the Greymouth October trotting meeting, Child? Boy is being kept in steady work. Loco is in work at Victoria Park, and is looking in splendid condition. The local sportsman, Mr A. Grogan, purchased the Australian pacer by (Hol<e Derby—Muriel Starr, ami t is likely to be raced at some of the minor meet ings. R. Cooper, the local trotting mentor, has his Real Guy—Little .Rose three-! year-old. a half sister to Great Author, in constant work; but the mare is in too heavy a condition and it will be a long time before she is in racing form., Dawn Sonoma, AJr W. Reid’s charge, is shaping nicely in her paving duties, but needs a lot of work to be in pacing trim. Kawana, in Mr T. Lalor’s charge has done some good work-outs in saddle lately, ami is showing improved form.; Liberty Hall and High Jinks in Air i

J T. Bennett’s stable, arc being worked 1 doin’ a number of workouts of late. 1 I hi l trotting mare, Denver Hinds, is in constant training, and appears to be lin great fettle. She appears to have 1 10.-t her habit of getting off the mark ’ slowly. j Dusolina. an inmate of H. Frost’s ; stable, should race wbll in the Bell last Handicap at New Brighton to- / day. This trainer has not enjoyed the | best luck of late, and a winner w’ould | prove very popular to this young irnini D. Withers had Amm and Regal \ oy.ige engaged in the Burwood Handi|cap. The first-named was allowed to I forfeit his engagements, and his colleague, Regal Voyage, is amongst the ; uling favourites for the event. I tackler is at present favourite for ■ ’the Now Zealand Trotting Cup and .next in demand is Kingcraft. , J. J. Kenneriey has a useful threc-vetir-obl in Goldworthy, racing to-day, [who paced well in the Sapling Stakes lat Ashburton Inst June. i Kimy Dillon has two engagements today, and is sure to be hard to beat i first t ime out. Boneta is a. good stayer and though 84 \ arils behind, he is >ure to run well in Hie Autumn Handicap to-day. .Dilnon, Brook Pointer and Baron Bingen, from (’. S. Donald’s stable are likely io receive good support at New ( Brighton to-day. i F. Gilbert, the Blaketow'n trainer, •'

I has at present in work five trotters, I ami the glloper Quillfire. j Millaquin is in great order, and in . ■ his next outing will give the opposi ' lion something to think about. Galinclo j Rose is also working well. 4 The two-year-old in Gilbert’s stable, 1 by Happy Voyage—Trixie Lee, is a j picture. There have been few smarter j i youngsters seen on the Greymouth? track. T. O’Donnell’s two-year-old trotter is shaping nicely, and is im-l proving. Cabin Girl is also in work - and is going along nicely. Proud Pointer has been transferred

to Berkett’s stable. If this mare could : reproduce her track form in a race, I there would be some dividend collected I oil her. T. Bennett has High Jinks, Liberty | Hall and a Guy Parrish youngster in 1 work. The last-named is being gaited. . R. Cooper is giving his filly easy/ work, and she is moving along nicely. I Slogan and Roger Lyon are being worked by C. Digby, and both are improving in condition. W. Reid seems to have a promising sort in his Sonoma Harvester filly. Kawana, Vican and A. Holmes’s Wrack filly are constant visitors to the track. E. Quinn’s trotter, by Peter Aloko, < is on the improve, as also is his other charge, I’earl Bingen.
