Crhistchurch, June 4,
At a meeting of the Board of the New Zealand Trotting Association to-day, when the question of passing programmes was under consideration, Mr Kitchiugham said he thought it was time racing clubs were compelled to raise stakes for coming events in view of the large entries they received and the amount of totalisator investments. On his motion, it was decided that the minimum stakes "in trotting events at racing clubs’meeting should be £65. The President, Mr P. Selig, said that the committee appointed to deal with the question of obtaining extra totalisator permits hadjtaken certain action, and it was probable that further action would be taken next month. It was agreed to send a remit to the Conference for a new rule providing for uniformity in starting horses hy the yards system, also to recommend that .a rule be framed making it compulsory for riders and drivers to report to stipendiary stewards any breakage of gear during a race.
