Racing Club was held on Saturday to con-■-•ider the suggestions from the _ Metropolitan Dub as to the granting of totalisator permits to the Otaki and Opaki Racing Clubs. It was resolved that the club had nothing to do with the dispute between tho Premier and the Metropolitan Club, so they have nothing to do with the granting of the permits, but consider that if the three available permits are used, then the clubs so using them should contribute something to the Wairarapa Racing * .'iub, as through its holding a meeting without a totalisator, and at a loss, the above clubs have been enabled to get their permits.
