To visit a racecourse before it has been laid out and again 60 years later, is an incident that does not happen in the life of every man, and when it happens that that man was responsible for obtaining tha land from the Government for the newlyformed racing club, the incident becomes more interesting (says the Manawatu Times). Such was the lot of Mr John Kebble, who visited the Foxton races otj. .Saturday. In the days of the Provincial Governments he was successful in getting the Wellington Government to set aside a piece of land for the Foxton Racing Club. — Great Britain has 20,000 miles of railway track.
