Mr .Hayward was referring to an application from. James McEwan, a blacksmith, of Gore, for license sto train and drive. It was stated that the applicant was in his 70th year. One member stated that McEwan had bred Cathedral Chimes.

The secretary, in reply to a question, stated that the applcant was granted a driver’s license last year, and Mr Hayward added that it 'was only by the new application forms that applicants’ ages were being ascertained.

A trainer’s license only was granted bv the board..
