SUMMER MEETING,

SECOND DAY

' There was fine weather for the concluding day, [and again the attendance was above the average. The officials c£ the Club received ar-mercus congratulations on the oorrso-and appointments. It is worthy of note that the excellent award was obtained through buying the seed from that wall-known nrmMeasrs Barraud and Abranam, Palmerston North. The track was considered to be a very fine one indeed Every consideration for tne couuc and convenience of patrons aa owners was shewn and only one unfortunate accident occurred to m » r the meeting. This was the fall oeived by tfao'nnfortunate mmr—n. Whifcehouee—who received fatal injuries through Arcau'a la.nng in the hurdle race. He was ordered to be taken to Palmerston Hospital and Mr J. G. Wilson, chairman or tne Board, kindly arranged for the sufferers’ removal to tnat icsatufciou. It is interesting to note ffiafi {he scratching pen was not used ip the first six nv.es and in the sevansn race only one horse was witiunawu. This!must be accepted as a nign compliment to the handicapper, Mr Uiio Shannon, Some starts were effected by Mr ... uameroT and tbs decisions cf tno uaoge (Mr: J. MoEolvie) were promptly posted and never Mt Good ail. with his capable energetic officials gos through tneir work well and gave the rnl ess satisfaction to all concerned. f * ia Marten Band (supplied a cwpJPd programme n£ music and their playing was a distinct improvement on previous efforts. The catering was successfully carried out by Mr A. J. Hart "of Faild lug, aud the publican booths were in charge of Mr l. Harvie, proprietor of Rahway Hotel, Turakiaa. He served the best brands of spirits and liquor. The totalizator was again in charge cf Messrs Nc-yiou aud Spriggens. who J provided an efficient staff to handle the investments. The totalizator showed a substantial increase on those of the first day. The total put through the machine was £8931 against £7170 for the opening day and £5350 for the corresponding clay at l a^ t n ,, e ,.’i r P u ? e *; meeting, or an increase of £3581 lor the second day.

J -’l e total for both days was £uob 10against £3lO 10s last year. from all ocher sources marked advance and it can safely be assumed that the financial result of the UIO meeting will be the beat on reooid.
