SPOTTING.

ASHBURTON AND THE RACING COMMISSION.

BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION

ASHBURTON, July 31

At the annual meeting of the Ashburton Trotting Club to-night the following resolutions were unanimously carried: That this meeting of the members of the Ashburton Trotting Club enters a strong protest against the action of the Racing Commission in depriving it of two days' racing in the year, seeing that Ashburton is one of the principal centres for the breeding of trotting horses in the Dominion; and that it considers that the Racing Commission, in depriving it of two days instead of one as intended, has committed a gross injustice against breeders and owners of trotting horses in this locality.

A Sydney cable states that the racehorse Formeden has been sold to Mr Shiel, of Camden, for stud purposes. The price is not available.
