BASKETBALL club There was a good attendance ot Basketball Tenuis club members at the annual meeting held on 1 luirsday evening, .with Mrs. Beale in the chair. After tlie annual report was read and other business matters were discussed, the election of officers was carried out. The following officers were appointed for the ensuing year: Patroness, Mrs. Bceats; president, Airs.. Beale; vice-presi-dents, Mesdames W. Gordon, Carter, P. Fulton and Mr. 11. Jackson; committee, Misses M. Webb, R. Plowman, A. Fisc-li-bach and R. Jamieson, Messrs. K. Muir, A. Ahliu and H. Honan; lion, secretary and treasurer, Mr. W. Gordon; lion, auditor, Mr. Bceats.

it was reported that certain repairs had to he done to the fences. The opening date was left for the committee to decide.

weatner has prevailed fur two days, and it is raining steadily to-night. The tiack is unaffected so far.

Autopay is improving and may start at the end of the meeting. Jefferd with Bay Tree contemplated returning home by to-day’s boat, but was unable to make shipping arrangements, and may start at tlie meeting.

Biixten is in fine fettle for to-morrow’s Deroy, and should be suited on the softer track.

The same view is held in regard to Inflation in the Epsom, which is expected to be a great race, as many brilliant horses with equal qualifications are participating. Whether Limarch will start in the Derby will be decided definitely in tlie morning!. The colt was rather better today.

Imst year, when made favorite for the Ashburton Handicap, on that occasion a mile race, Shatter was beaten into third place, and his supporters were in much the same frame of mind as they were after his failure in the same race, run over 10 furlongs, on September 16. In the Kurow Cup, under the weight of 9.0, which he has again this year, lie was again favorite, and was again headed Horne by two oilier horses. From Oamaru he travelled to Dunedin, and again the public choice, narrowly beat Mount Boa in the Mosgiel Handicap-, and at his next start winning the Timaru Cup. The same course has been mapped out for Shatter this year, and in view of the excellent times he has been putting up at Riccarton, he should be worth following through, as his golfing trainer would say.
