RACEHORSE TRANSPORT
NO PEA MIT FOR FLOATS POSITION IN CANTERBURY [by telegraph—own correspondent] . CHRISTCHURCH. Thursday The trainers taking horses to the Kurow meeting on Saturday intended making use of horse .floats as it was considered that the journey by this means would be more expeditious than by rail to Oamaru. Under the new regulations, however, a float is not available. It has been laid down that when two race meetings are held on the same day, such as at Methven and Kurow on- Saturday, only one permit for the use of floats will be granted and that for the nearer meeting, which, in this case, is Methven. Riccarton horses will now go to Oamaru by to-morrow afternoon's train and will travel by a special race train from Oamaru to Kurow on Saturday.
