CRITICISM OF RACING Hamilton, Aug. 31. Commenting on the decision of the Racing Conferciice to award the Labour Day date to the Waikato Hunt Mr. G. W. VerCoe, president of the Waikato Racing Club,, which desired that date, said at the annual meeting to-day: “I have lost faith in the administration of the New Zealand Racing Conference. I. am of opinion that it is time the country racing clubs made some definite move, in the direction of having more control in the conduct of their racing than at present. With this end in view it is my intention to call a meeting of the Auckland Provincial Racing Club’s Association to discuss the position.” The club resolved to confer with other country clubs regarding the restriction of the issue of complimentary tickets for race meetings.
