The de-irabilitv of having hindles of uniform height and construction was urged on the New Zealand Rating Conference on Friday by Mr W T Ha/lett, representing Otago district (lubs, who mo\ed that ".\ll hurdles shall be 3ft 9in in height, with a top rail of Baltic pine Sin bv 2in. and. when set, the upper edge of the top rail shall lie not less than 3ft 4m or more than 3ft 6in from the surface of the giound m which it is sel Mr Tla/htl said that in many cases in the past big frauds had been peipetratcd and glaring swindles worked b\ reason of hurdles that were lower tha*i thev should lv Theie were Ms r s wlieio caietakers li id been squared, and after a rare the hurdles were taken up almost before the riders had weighed in. If tho new rule ho proposed

weie fww<! tii(> stipendiary stewards wool? Ijo able to wo that tho hurdles wero <* standard height Tlio lion. O. Samuel (T<iranaki) objected to tho in,iking of a hard and fast rulo of racing on the inciter, while agreeing to tho desirableness of some nnifoiniity. A rulo might cuu<-e ondlos., complications. It was pointed out m the touise of furflier that racing clubs had already been c ncnlarised on tho subject. 'J'lie President (Sir George Cliflord) said that in many parts of tho country very flim»y liurdles 'were eiecttd, and they constituted a grave menace. Ho did not think it would be advisable to msiit, by way of a rulo of lacing, on <1 special hurdle, as theie would be always tho danger of races being declared void and other complications lie suggested that all racing clubs should again be circularised, asking them to agn e to the u o of a form of hurdle to bo specified with a vie W to uniformity. While agieemg to the president's suggestion. Mr Ita/lett s.iid that at present, to his knowledge, great frauds were on in connection with the height of hurdles. The president and Messis Ha/lett, NolaTi, and Alison were appointed to draw up a cnc ular to bo sent to tho various clubs. The New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club has dccidcd on a new name for tho three-year-old event to be decided next Ld.ster. It will be known as tho Champion Stakes, tho prize b"ing 50Ceovs and the distance one mile and a half. The Wellington Ro/'ing Club suspended A Watson 011 Saturday for a period of 12 month's _ His offence was. a breach of tho Mile Wealing mth impertinence to the club's officers, the official concerned being the ratecoursc detective, S. Kraetzer.
