We have received proofs of photographs taken by Mr Christian on the Foxton race course on the first clay. We highly commend them as being good pictures, well taken. The first is a view of the Crand Stand, chock full, oeople on the steps, and crowds on he lawn just gazing at a race that has passed the posts. The judge in his box also appears, as well as the nterest shown in the raCe- by the totalisator people. The seCopd view is that of the officials of the club"taken under the Secretary’s office verandah. As the meeting was a record one it is well that most of the ' officials should retain an interesting memo of the same. Unfortunately j one. or two ml the officials are hot amongst the group photographed. The third photo is one >f the Secretary’s office showing the (tags flying and the numbers- -of.- thestarters up, and the Stewards also- up on the balcony. The fourth view-is of part of the lawn • and •stand. We should expect these , photographs, will find a ready sale. „
