[BY TELEGRAPH. —PKK.SS ASSOCIATION.] CIIRISTCHURCH, Thursday. At a meeting of owners and trainers of trotting horses, held to-night, 50 were present. It was decided to form an association. The movement has been caused by the feeling that owners are not fairly treated by suburban clubs. Owners are not satisfied with the stakes offered, and the general conduct of the meetings.

General entries in connection with the Takapuna Jockey Club's meeting are due tonight at 10 o'clock. Mr. Mark, secretary Auckland Trotting Club, notifies horse-owners that settling in the recent meeting will take place at two p.m., at the club's offices, Durham-street.
