Corlett for depriving his horse Sir A gnos of the stakes in the Prince of Wales Handicap at the Spring Meeting on the 9th November last was nofentertained. The matter appealed against being only one of fact and not of interpretation of the rules, the decision of the local olub was final. The chairman of the Racing Conference, in a circular letter, drew attention to the congested state of the unpajd forfeit list, which in his opinion was caused by the inclusion of many amounts in arrear through irregular recaption of entries and. acceptances by clubs. As the Wellington Metropolitan Club _ was not guilty of the irregularities complained of, ho action was taken, the question being considered one that should be dealt with at tbe next conference. Should His Excellency and Lady Kanfurjy return to the capital in time they are to be invited to be present at the Club’s Summer Meeting qn the 22nd and 2|th inst„ when they will bo entertained by tbe stewards at lunch.
