HOROWHENUA RACING CLUB.
Air W. H. Field, M.P., has addressed a strongly-worded letter to Air F. G. Roe, secretary of the Horowhe-nna Racing Club, on the subject of the Racing missioners' report. In the course or this he says: What course we are to follow in view of the Act coming into force on August Ist, and your club's meeting being arranged for September, it is some* what difficult to say. It is practically certain there will be an amendment of ihe law, for numerous constituencies betddea my own are, I understand, being subjected to similar acts of injustice at the hands of the Commission, and it would bo well for members representing such, constituencies to take a decided and united stand at the beginning of the coming session to remedy matters so far as possible. I am in hopes that w© shall bo able to induce the Government to introduce measures which will, at least, have the effect of suspending.the operation of the Act for such a time as will give opportunity of further consideration as to the best method of reducing racing consistently with fairness to the racing clubs.
