MEANEE RACECOURSE.
Sib, — I think it would be intereßtmg^||)'||| you or some of your readers to inforaf||| the public as to what the Hawke's|BOT|3 Jockey Club intend to do with theMlai|pli racecourse. Is this piece of fertUe|Mw|p 90 acres in extent, to remain as.it^s;|M done for the past few years, a barren^oadjM unprofitable waste? The grand st&d|^ and fences, I believe, have been sold^S|d;3 probably the proceeds devoted to ths§§J|| provement of the new course at BaStan|s|||| I think it would have been wiße\bn|ttuij|| part of the club had they waited until tlw;| 1 decision of the Commission appointpif|>||| inquire into the validity of the title of^^g land is made known before inveßtmgM| public money in this favored spotySfaaa^ possibly be called upon to conm^^i their share towards satisfying the demaods^ of our dusky friends. The Meanee'^t^Ml course may be said to be a piece (of jilis^l fertile land as any on the Meanee s flat, : f|^ and it does not reflect much credit^oi fe those entrusted with its management' tH^xi it should not have been turned into moreil profitable account. As it forms parttff, i| the public estate, I think it is the duty^f|3 i the Waste Lands Board to see to tiieT:|| i matter. — lam, &c, . OBSERVER Napier, January 15, 1879. ill
