Miss Gay covered five funongs in lmin 4 3-ssec, and Imperial Eagle oeat River Plate in lmin 4 3-ssec. Kraal and Brazen Bold worked well to run lmin ssec. The poles were 15 feet out on the grass. MANAWATU (FOXTON) RACECOURSE TRUSTEES The chairman (Mr. W. E. Barber) presided over the annual meeting of the Manawatu (Foxton) Racecourse Trustees. Also present were Messrs R. Bryant, E. H. Robinson and the secretary (Mr. G. V. Fraser). Apologies for absence were received from Messrs J. R. Whyte and D. R. Ogilvy. The balance-sheet disclosed a credit j balance of £lO 3s 2d. j The chairman's seventieth annual report stated that the racecourse track I and buildings were in a good state of j repair and that the new grandstand 1 was very satisfactory. Plantations had been maintained. In October last the, military authorities had taken over the \ course and this prevented the carrying ; out of any permanent improvements by j the club during the year. The report and balance-sheet were adopted.
