INJURED JOCKEYS,
(To the Editor.) * / v Sir, —Why is it no provision is made for. prompt attention to those. ridei.s who are unfortunate enough to be maimed on our racecourses. At Hawera on Wednesday the tie-lay in getting a medical man was appalling. Should not clubs be compelled to have a paid doctor in attendance;-' He is ,as neceswary as many other officials: 'these honorary billets-, want wiping out, and before a club is allowed to race the .stipendiary stewards should insist on ,a, medical man being on-the -spot, and 1 ready for immediate service. 'Torn, Dick and Harry should not have to hunt through, the crowd for a doctor.-—-I am, et-c.,-“HUMANE.”
