WAIKATO RACING CLUB A DIFFICULT YEAR WORK OF RETIRING PRESIDENT * [FXtOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT] ' HAMILTON, Sunday Tributes to the services in the interest of racing of the retiring president of the Waikato Racing Club.: Mr. G..W.' Vercoe. were paid by members at.the annual meeting of the club, ill Hamilton yesterday. , . Mr. S. V. Tyler said although Mr. Vercoe had retired from office; his sound advice concerning the Bport would always be a\ailablo to the club. Mr. Vercoe had held the office of president. 9ontinuously. einco 1919 and had also given good service on other bodies directly connected' with racing. lie had been a delegate.,/of the; country racing clubs to the New Zealand • Racing Conference for,lji years and chairman of. the;;Auck : land Provincial Racing Club's AssowtttiOn for 14 years. Tliiß position Mr. Vercoe relinquished .last year. but. he was still .the lepresentative of the club on the associatl<Mr. J. H; Elliott said the club's present course at Te Rapa, would prove a monument to Mr. Vercoe's work in futuro years. "I regret that the club's operations for the year * have not been a success financially " said Mr. Vercoe. in moving the adoption of the annual report and balancesheet. "The adverse economic conditions which continued to prevail throughout tbe Dominion had a -most detrimental effect on racing generally and country clubs m na*"" ticular have found the position very ditliCU Tho club's operations were greatly hampered by exceptionally wet weather, for the summer meeting, continued Mr. vercoe. A postponement was necessary and resulted in a substantial loss, which, however, was equalised, by ' the' financial' success •of the extra day's racing held on May 21. Although the committee woifld. still have to be cau* tious as '.regards .expenditure. --the concessions in interest inado by tho' mortgagees and deb en tu'r e-hol dors should enable the club to carry on successfully in the meantime. It was sincerely to be hoped that by the end of next year conditions would be much improved. • ' A motion of thanks to the mortgagees and debenture-holders for the iieiierous manner in which they had met the club by forgoing the interest owing for 1931 and agreeing to accept for tho years 1932 and 1933 such interest as the funds of the club would reasonably permit, was carried. The following .officers wqre appointed for the ensuing year:—President. Mr. F. R. Seddon; .vice-president, Mr. A. Miller; six vacancies on the committee. Messrs, 11. D. Caro. W.-T. C. Christie. O. M. Monckton. G. J. Peach, A. E. Sundfard' and S. V. Tyler. - ? , ' LIKELY JUVENILES AWAPUNI TRAINERS' TEAMS [ifROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT | PALMERSTON NORTH,' Saturduy While Awnpuni has not as. many two-year-olds, in work as in former seasons, the centre promises "to" be 'Well' to the foro for tlio spring racing. Mrs. A. W. McDonald, who invariably possesses one or two outstanding two-year-olds, has a, strong team once again, and indications nro that the • Australian-bred Ronewlng—Liijlass filly and the Lord Quex —Oddity filly will show superior early form. J. P. Coyle has two good ones, After Money, Ivy Paper Mon'S'y—Aft6TT?lo\e, and a Ma.rehalong colt. The former is racy-look-ing. whereas the'latter attracts by reason of his solidnesS. ' Tho arrival of Luke Wilson from Hastings has added' to the ranks a particularly finelooking two-year-old, the Chief Ruler —Doroc filly, for whom the name of Princess Doreen has been claimed. 'His other, representative, a. Lord Quex—Catalini gelding, does not impress to tho same extent. , On the score of appearance, the haltsister to Princess Betty i'i M. 11. charge has still to prove that she is of the calibre of the good chestnut mare whose career was brought to a close as tlio result of an accident in Australia. In addition to tho above, Royal Guy f Royal Divorce—Panette). a Lackltain Tainey gelding, Hugo (Nigger Minstrel Pleasure), a Hunting Song—Bayou gchlmg. n Lord Quex—Npvoko gelding, and a Colossus—Sanguiharia colt, will all be found figuring in early spring engagements. . ELLERSLIE TRACK WORK CROUPIER SPRINTS SMARTLY I A dense fog was in evidence when trainj ing operations commenced ut EUerslie on Saturday and timing- was impossible until after the breakfast interval. The !No. 2 grass was available for fast work, but it was not used to any extent and most of the horses were restricted to useful pacing. ' \ On the 'grafs Lord Aintree was better than Traced over half a mile in 50 4-ss. Locd Aintree came through his race at the Pakuranga. Hunt meeting satisfactorily and should be in fine trim when required'to race again. Croupier and KiltoWyn,' after getting the worst of the fit.ait, were alongside Psychologist at the conclusion of half n, mile jn 60s. •Croupier is a picture of- health and- should not require"much fast work to bo ready to run a good race. Psychologist has brightened up siuce his race at Pakuranga and Kiltowyn is nlso thriving well. RACING FIXTURES September 3—Manawatu Hunt Club. September 10—Marton Jockey Club.
