GORE RACING CLUB

(From Oue Own Correspondent.) GORE. June 27. At the annual meeting of the Gore Racing Club the following officers were elected:—President, Mr H. A. Price; vicepresidents, Messrs J. A. S. Aitken and J. B. Nicol; committee, Messrs J. T. Martin. G. W. Whittingham, F. Wallis, jun., M. Green and P. G. Ross; auditor, Mr W. D. Shelton. " rt The retiring president (Mr M. Green) remarked that the finances of the club were in a satisfactory position. The balance-sheet revealed a profit of £527 13s 3d on the past season's workings. The club now had a credit balance of £12,598 2s sd. Many improvements had been made to the club's property, including the laying down of a new training track, the erection of additional looseboxes and extension of the saddling paddock. Work had been commenced on the construction of a new totalisator building at the rear of the main stand, and it was hoped to have the house in working order for the club's spring meeting in October. It had been suggested that a modern barometer type of totalisator machine should be installed, but no decision had yet been reached in regard to the matter. Reference was also made by Mr Green to the possibility of the Eastern Southland Hunt Club affiliating with the Asso : ciated Hunt Clubs, and it was decided to assist the club financially, as such a move would in time prove beneficial to the racing club.
