DUNEDIN JOCKEY CLUB. ' DUNEDIN, Jan. 13,

The annual report of the Dunedin Jockey Club shows that the meetings were satisfactory, but states that the amount passed through the totalisator at the Spring Meeting fell off as compared with the same meeting last year by the sum of .£5513, and the loss of commission on this amount, coupled with the Government tax, left no margin. The sum of .£ISOO had been paid to deposit account prior to the Spring Meeting, but if the Government tax is continued, the Committee thinks there will be no prospect of increasing that fund in the future.
