RACING AND THE WAR
C.J.C. COMMITTEE URGES SPECIAL CONFERENCE. Frees Association. CHRISTCHURCH, March 27. The Canterbury Jockey Club has had the question of racing in wartime under consideration for some time past, and has written to other clubs soliciting their views on the subject. Tb-day a special meeting of the committee of the club passed the following resolution: “That the prolongation of the war and the serious situation of the Empire is causing a strong and growing feeling among sportsmen and others that early consideration of the racing question is advisable. The committee of the C.J.C. are strongly of opinion that the racing authorities should approach the Government with reference to any possible adjustments of racing matters, and with this end in view the committee of the C.J.C. urge the president of the Racing Conference immediately to call the conference together to discuss the situation.”
